Updated: It seems that simplyhired also has a how did you get fired? stories site at simplyfired.com! I guess even they prepare for the worst.. So incase simplyhired tanks after all the funding atleast they have a community and content site of those who are simply fired! Well such are times that simply fired might just work better!
Original Post: At a time when the jobs space is set for a slowdown especially with 25% of corporate India looking to cut jobs post diwali as per this ASSOCHAM report. In short people are getting simply fired!
Now in this gloomy environment SimplyHired a job search engine based out of the US and funded for 17.7 million in three rounds of investment by angel investors like Guy Kawasaki of Alltop.com and by Fox and Foundation Capital is launching its site in India and also across Canada, UK and Australia at the sametime.
According to a statement by the Founder of Simply hired who is of Indian Origin, Gautam Godhwani “The launch of these websites is an integral part of Simply Hired’s effort to expand our mission in building the largest worldwide job search engine,”
Well vertical meta search engines haven’t done great as yet in India. Yes there is iXiGo.com in the travel space but that too doesn’t yet have an apparent sustainable business model. SImplyhired would also need to grapple with the established brands of naukri and now the up and coming shine.com.
On a lighter note: recently i was speaking to a recruitment consultant and in good fun I advised him to change his business model for this recession phase. Told him to start a layoff consulting firm i.e. whom to layoff and why!! And guess what he actually thought it was a good idea given the times we are in!
Disclosure: For those who dont know we run WATJob.com a Jobsite for Web, Advertising and Tech Industry in India. So incase you are still hiring or looking for jobs do log on.

hi, can make sure you put updated adn relevant news…simply fired website has really old content, wonder why you are promoting it.
@chutki: Not really promoting it. Infact it was more of a discovery and an after thought update to the post.
People always hate to talk about when they are laid off. But as it has become every day’s news headline since Yahoo started it with cutting 1500 of its task force last year, now a need of platform has been in demand where people can express their selves in words how they are feeling about their company, whey the got laid off was that justified or not. And every thing they want to tell anonymously.
And http://www.layoffgossip.com is providing you that platform.
