Simply Hired Introduces Multi-Language, Localized Job Search in Switzerland

www.SimplyHired.ch Expands Simply Hired’s Presence in Europe and Showcases More Than 50,000 Available Local Jobs

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Simply Hired, the largest job search engine, today announced a new localized destination website for Switzerland (www.SimplyHired.ch). With more than 50,000 available local job postings at launch, Simply Hired will be an essential new tool used to tackle recent unemployment records. The new job search engine for Switzerland joins localized Simply Hired websites in 15 other countries across five continents and in eight languages.

Simply Hired has indexed more than five million jobs worldwide from the leading job boards, content websites, newspapers and company career pages. The new site in Switzerland will provide local job seekers with a simple online job search experience in German (www.simplyhired.ch), French (fr.simplyhired.ch) and Italian (it.simplyhired.ch). Without requiring membership, www.SimplyHired.ch immediately shows returning users which new listings have been added since their last visit and offers an advanced search option to return job listings that match specific criteria. Additionally, through its international partnership with LinkedIn, www.SimplyHired.ch will allow job seekers to discover the connections they have within companies, providing them the inside track on the hiring process.

“Because Switzerland’s labor market is lagging and jobs continue to be lost, the introduction of www.SimplyHired.ch is significant for local job seekers—as well as for Simply Hired’s expansion throughout Europe,” said Sachin Shah, Director of International, Simply Hired. “Our goal at Simply Hired is to provide valuable tools and resources that directly benefit job seekers around the world—making finding a dream job anywhere a positive and rewarding experience.”

For recruiters and employers, Simply Hired offers the ability to add their jobs into these search sites through a job feed. They can also advertise their employment brand via premium display ads that appear on relevant search result pages. To express interest in including your jobs, visit any Simply Hired international site and click the “Jobs hinzufügen” link at the bottom of the page.

As an example, Simply Hired currently supplements LinkedIn’s international job board with millions of job listings from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Japan and Switzerland.
