At 7:30 this morning the redesign of EmploymentGuide.com was released. The new functionality as well as the design has been in development for about 6 months. New features to the site include: enhanced user interface, job snippets, fast and accurate job searches.
Google Search Appliance (GSA)
(Learn more...)
The GSA offers the ability to bring Google's Search Technology in-house. We have amplified the functionality of the our GSA by extending to our users the ability to expand their search within a specified range (radius). Currently there is only one other site on the net that I'm aware of that uses the GSA with a custom radius search function.
Personally, I'm extremely proud as to how this project turned out. I have working with this new hardware for just under 6 months and it's amazing how far we have progressed. Being able to implement search expansion using a user-defined radius was challenging, and oddly exciting. :)
Job Snippets
This new feature is used in combination with our nationally distributed publication EmploymentGuide. How does it work? Simply put... a job seeker finds a unique number specific to a job found in the publication. From there they simply enter the number into our website for additional information. They may also find similar jobs in their area in order to help with their search.
Employment Videos
Located on the homepage of the site, users can view informational videos that shed light on potentially new and exciting career opportunities.
