It would make sense for Google to acquire them to get the SimplyHired team. Also, this would make sense given Google's history - particularly in their acquisition of YouTube. Google already had Google Video, but YouTube had outdone them by a long shot, so Google acquired the YouTubers. It's the same with the job-search market - have you ever searched for a job using Google Base (link below)? Probably not. SimplyHired has far outperformed Google in this vertical and so would be a very attractive acquisition.</p><p><a href="http://www.google.com/base/search?a_n0=jobs&amp;a_y0=9&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.google.com/base/search?a_n0=jobs&amp;a_y0=9&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US">http://www.google.com/base/...</a></p><p>VS</p><p><a href="http://simplyhired.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://simplyhired.com">http://simplyhired.com</a></p>Matt JaynesFri, 04 May 2007 21:48:00 -0000
