SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ERE Recruiting Conference Spring 2015 – Simply Hired, the largest independent job search engine with properties in 24 countries and 12 languages, and eHarmony today announced a strategic partnership to forge new connections between job seekers and employers. Through the partnership, Simply Hired is helping to drive the 2015 launch of the candidate experience of eHarmony’s highly anticipated Elevated Careers solution by providing full access to a supply of 10 million job listings, updated daily. The end result: candidates are empowered to discover highly rewarding jobs and career opportunities while hiring organizations are able to maximize employee happiness, increase worker productivity and lower attrition rates.

“We selected Simply Hired as our strategic partner based on its abundance of jobs, first in class search technology and shared values around helping job seekers and employers find the right fit,” said Dan Erickson, General Manager, Elevated Careers by eHarmony. “eHarmony and Simply Hired are completely aligned around helping job seekers and companies improve a broken recruiting process. This partnership is an important step to level the playing field for job seekers and change the equation used by recruiters to evaluate candidates.”

“Simply Hired has spent 10 years building a platform to aggregate, process and index job listings,” said Bill Jeffries, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Simply Hired. “Our focus has always been on quality and innovation for the benefit of both job seekers and recruiters. The partnership with eHarmony extends relevant, high-quality job listings into a new area of compatibility matching, bringing together the best of aggregation and culture and personality analysis to open up new opportunities in recruiting.”

Simply Hired’s industry-leading content aggregation and search technology platform indexes millions of job listings in every occupation from many online sources, including company career pages, job boards and niche job websites. The company has developed proprietary algorithms to determine which jobs to show to each user, optimizing for relevance and quality to ensure that the right job opportunities are presented to the right job seekers. Simply Hired has dedicated 10 years to creating this vertical search technology and continually refines its algorithms with more than 350 updates in the past year alone.

Now, through the partnership, Simply Hired will provide eHarmony with access to this index to integrate job listings with the Elevated technology. Job listings are matched with normalized company, industry and locale based culture data gathered from online surveys and registered Elevated candidates in order to create profiles that are used to generate compatibility scores between jobs and candidates.

The Elevated solution provides automatic matches to users, as well as a powerful search tool linked to a database of quality, relevant job listings for candidates fueled by Simply Hired and a database of candidates for employers. Compatibility is based on Competence (Skill Fit); Values & Culture (Culture Fit); and Personality (Personality Fit), helping candidates discover jobs and careers that they will be happy with and find rewarding while at the same time providing employers with quality talent that truly fits their culture.
