Hasselhoff-Baldwin Scandal Mashup

Google in Talks to Buy Simply Hired

The king of search is looking to buy its way into job search. Job search engine Simply Hired claims Google is in talks to buy them. Simply Hired’s appeal: superdistribution.

The job search engine most recently made news with the launch of its job-o-matic which creates widgets for bloggers to create their own job boards… Simply Hired almost seems like it was built to be acquired by Google.

Between AdSense and Simply Hired, all your jobs will belong to Google.
