Workhound Job Search Engine Blog

Om Malik is an excellent tech reporter who used some clever HR forensics to sniff out that Hulu might be opening its content internationally (a quite exciting scoop, especially for those who prefer not to spoof). He saw that they were hiring internationally, looked at the job specs, and concluded that this indicated that Hulu was going international.  Smart.

In similar fashion, while conversing about who was taking tenancy in the new Westfield London mall, I took a look at their website which was, typically, coy about their new leaseholders (many landlords like to keep this info on the DL).  But, since staffing is a critical path item, many retailers have already started the recruitment process and with a couple quick searches on a job search engine like, say, Workhound, it was easy to compile a list of the new tenants.

Good search engines take unstructured data by the terabyte and structure it. Which, in our case, can help those looking for a job, trying to benchmark their salary, or even just gathering some business intelligence.
