The investment that Simply Hired took from Fox Interactive seems to be paying dividends already. Tonight at 9 pm PST MySpace, a subsidiary of Fox Interactive, will unveil MySpace Careers, a new job site on MySpace powered by Simply Hired. This is interesting news mostly because of the massive traffic that the MySpace home page drives – and the new site has a link on that Myspace home page. No word on the deal terms, although I assume there is a revenue split based on the numerous advertisements MySpace is including on the new site.
Deals like this show the positive impact a corporate investor can have on a startup. Note that competitor Indeed took an investment from the New York Times last year, and they partially power the NYT online jobs search engine.
mike, you forgot to mention the tremendous boost this will have on SimplyFIRED traffic as well
nice to see that finally go live, after all the work with the folks at MySpace.
congrats to my former peeps over at Simply Hired!

The Simply Hired-Linked In mash-up was incredibly slick. This can only take it to the next level.
Probably a coincidence but the screen cap also shows an ad for SimplyFired under “Advertisements”.

Interesting timing of New York Times hatchet job on MySpace this morning – saying that your myspace blog could cost you a career.
These media companies are all so conflicted that the article now reaks of a competitor bash.
It’s hard to keep track of all the partnerships so thanks or the reminders. Big Media is as bad as the big brokers now with all the conflicts.
NagB: not a coincidence, the SimplyFIRED property is also owned by Simply Hired, altho that link points to a SimplyFIRED page on MySpace rather than the SimplyFIred page directly.

Would be nice if the site actually worked correctly. I keep getting redirected back to the main MySpace page after attempting to do a search.
Simply Hired needs to capitalize the ‘S’ in MySpace. Sheesh.
