New Search Engine to Aggregate Green Job Listings
March 9, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - With more than 50 green job boards
currently scattered across the Web, job seekers may have a hard time finding
and applying for positions, but a new search engine aims to solve that.
Reported by Rebecca Moore
According to a press release, Green Job Spider will enable job seekers to search for these jobs under one interface. The site will also help green candidates learn about the types of green jobs and where they are through its blog and podcast.
Green Job Spider will offer a targeted experience for those who want a green job, the announcement said. Its crawler will index for jobs from solar to wind to biofuels. Job listings will be indexed nightly and all sources of green jobs will be hand selected to ensure quality.
At launch it currently indexes about a dozen green job sources. Efforts are underway to index the remaining green job boards.
Green Job Spider will also target green employers and recruiting firms who have jobs online. Listings can be indexed through an XML feed or spidered via Web page. Pricing will consist of a flat monthly subscription fee with unlimited clicks.
The site is powered by job board software provider, JobMount. Currently in BETA, the site is located at http://www.greenjobspider.com/.
Green Job Spider is a division of AllCountyJobs.com LLC.
