Most of the work that I've been doing in the last year has been in a vertical search type scenario. So I've had to look at other vertical search/aggregation sites, in an attempt to steal the best, and review what makes them work - for example: Sidestep.com
But the one I like the best : Indeed.com
One search, all jobs :)
They scrape, collect, and make searchable any job listing anywhere they can think of finding one including corporate sites, and all your standard job search websites.
Here's some of the cool stuff that comes off their website:
Apparently the demand for AJAX professionals are rising.
Apparently my time has passed.
Also - in terms of number of jobs available - NY, NY is 40th on the list...even Buffalo, NY tops it.
Interesting stuff... comes from Fred Wilson's blog

had stumbled upon indeed.com through businessweeks best sites of teh yr ... will be using it ... i get a hit of only .01% for phds in my field ! ...
what does vertical search refer to ... isnt it aggregation .. getting stuff from a broad range of sources ... ummm .. so horizontal ??? ... so its not a source vertical search ...
ashu
Vertical in this reference in limited by business unit.
Usually implies a deeper search than a 'horizontal' search such a google. Definitely more relevant, for example, try to find airfares from one place to another on google (um.. MSN Search) vs. SideStep.com
cool ... so its a topic vertical search ... ummmm ... so does say finding local businesses construe as a spatial "vertical" search
ashu
Well ... its topical in that it is limited by geography, and it is by definition limited to a 'business'
However, most of the results that you are getting on this page, you might get in a 'regular' search as well - such as MSN Search (or google) so its not really any deeper... but am not entirely sure where that line gets drawn.
