New Search Engine for Finding Jobs

When I first heard about Jobster it was through their press release, which included the line, "the first job search engine designed to help jobseekers search millions of jobs across the Web with one click and get referred directly to the hiring teams at leading companies." Um, didn't Flipdog do something similar? It doesn't really matter. Jobster ( http://www.jobster.com ) is still worth looking at.

There are several search options. Obviously the first one is keyword. Then you can search for area, when it was added, and radius. You can also sort by relevance or recency. An advanced search allows you to add a few more things to the mix including where exactly to search for the keywords.

I did a search for engineer in Los Angeles. I got 95 results. I also got the option to sign up for alerts for jobs that matched my interest. I also got the option to get referrals to jobs in various companies, but that required two things: 1) A Jobster account (free) and 2) Friends who work at the target company.

The more traditional search listings include the title of the job, a snippet (some more useful than others), the origin of the job (CraigsList and Monster.com were two I saw a lot) and how recently it was found. Click on the job title and you'll go straight to its page.
