From the Indeed.com blog:
In October, we launched in three more countries: France, Germany and Spain. Indeed’s comprehensive search engine for jobs includes millions of jobs from job boards and company career sites in each of these countries.
Since Indeed.com’s launch four years ago in November 2004, we have grown to include jobs from more than ten thousand websites in seven countries and four languages. More job searches are now performed on Indeed.com than on any other website (comScore Media Metrix, Oct 2008).
Blog posts are generally not very newsworthy, but this one certainly is. It underscores the central problem faced by most traditional job boards. If you charge a posting fee, it becomes nearly impossible to have the most jobs of any specific type. If you don't have the most jobs, what do you have?
This is why I have been fascinated by the vertical job search and free job posting models for a long time!
