ZDNet India’s Job Search Engine Powered By Recruit.net; And Why Naukri Had Sued Bixee…

ZDNet India is launching a technology jobs search engine. The site isn’t linked to yet from the main page, but is live, here.

The jobs search has been powered by Hong Kong based job search engine Recruit.net, which had launched its India search engine late last year. It aggregates jobs both from company websites and job portals (including market leader Naukri, and others like careerage), and has incorporated both email alerts and RSS feeds for specific search queries. I don’t think this bodes well for Cybermedia’s tech job portal - Cybermedia Dice. It also features sponsored jobs, much like Recruit.net. The site has advertisements and links to ZDNet India content.

Readers will remember that Naukri had taken job search engine Bixee (which was later acquired by MIH India) to court. I had asked Naukri CEO Sanjeev Bikhchandani about that case; he said that Bixee was initially aggregating content without Naukri’s knowledge, and had not responded to initial emails. So Naukri sent them a court order by email, after which Bixee contacted them. The only issue for Naukri was that they should know who is aggregating the content and there should be an agreement between the two companies. Bikhchandani had said that there’s no revenue sharing deal with Bixee.

"The only issue for Naukri was that they should know who is aggregating the content and there should be an agreement between the two companies. "

Bullshit .... . i am amazed by Sanjeev's capacity of self deception . this Bixee thing is not first time naukri has killed a competition by unfair mean . this is only for the first time that it has come out in public .

most of you will nnot know about a two bit little company in bangalore called Green Hire . it was a garage venture and it was fairly an Altruistic one . free software to enable bulk resume down load in Background so that recruiter don't have to save every resume manually . Naukri Blocked it on some flimsy ground . even at the cost of irritating some of customers .
this strange company stores resume in .MSW format [not in .doc ,not in ,rtf, not in .pdf ] just .msw . why ?? so that indexing ad parsing engine can't work on them and Resume can't be feeded in to some other work flow software .

it is suffocating . having naukri with you is like dating a possesive girl . she will not let you look at other girl . no matter whether she is 6 or 60 . but since they are doing well financially it doesen't matter
