Thanks, I've not checked out those ones either (haven't had the hard need to search for a new job).

I hope someone from simplyhired comes over there and talks about some of their relevance engines.

Like you, I'm a big believer in the potential for social networking tools to help us move beyond the cold resume/interview. We've been interviewing a fair number of candidates recently at Simply Hired, and I'm always struck at just how much better the experience is for both candidates and talent seekers when there are connections between the two. Putting technology to work to shift a greater percentage of interviews from "cold" to "warm" represents one of the single most important things those of us in the online employment space can do to improve the job search experience.

Let's examine your third paragraph. It reads, "My hope is that tools like this and other social software will help provide bury to the cold resume and cold interview, as users will have a wider pool to drill down and find the right job". Aggregating content from disparate Web properties is no longer a technical leap forward. Aggregators can be found crawling around most vertical market silos. The holy grail for search engines - those that are genuinely interested in the user experience - is the ability to consistently return exceedingly relevant search results (job postings). Recent advances in job search engine technology, such as the methodologies introduced by Bob Wilson (http://rmwilsonconsulting.typepad.com/) and Just-Posted.com (http://www.Just-Posted.com), stand ready to significantly enhance job seekers, employers and career resource services providers job market visibility and potency.
