Monday night we launched a new version of Jobster. In addition the recruiter facing features you can’t see, there are a number of new professional features, especially in Jobster Labs. (Jobster Labs lets us experiment and iterate rapidly on new ideas that aren’t quite ready for prime time.)

Jason summarizes the key new features:

[We launched] some cool new features to the www.jobster.com job search site, including:

Check out Jobster Live…this is just pure eye-candy.  view real-time job searches on a map as they are being searched by users around the country.

The number of jobs indexed by jobster was also increased by 2 to 4 fold in most regions.  To get your jobs added, register here.

We also formally launched jobster groups.  create a jobster group for your affinity group (e.g. stanford mba’s) and share jobs and referral opportunities.

We also added some new jobster labs features. (dev stuff which requires registration).

• publish a feed of jobs at companies you are connected to; customize your feed’s look and feel
• build an email signature with a live feed of jobs at your company or companies you are closely connected to
• Invite your friends and colleagues to jobster and share referral opportunities (increases jobseeker ability to gain referrals).
• create a wishlists of companies that you would like to work for

Joe writes about the job feed tool we’ve created in Jobster Labs.

If you have a web page or a blog, you can create a feed of jobs that your readers are likely to be interested in, and even help them get noticed for the position if you know them. You can also track the number of clicks and prospects resulting from your feed.

(free registration required.)

You can also include a job feed in your email signature– if your company uses Jobster, this is a great well to help promote openings in your team or company every time you send an email.
