Description:	Any Simply Hired user can search for jobs with a staggering number of key words through numerous categories. Search categories, such as “Age 50+” make Simply Hired unique by appealing to niche communities that are often overlooked by most job sites. Results are sorted by relevance or date but can be filtered as many times as needed. Users who take the time to create an account can save their searches and get updates on new jobs they might like. Simply Hired has a rating system which allows it to recommend new jobs based on jobs you rated highly. The system essentially provides a set of search results that users may then narrow down themselves.
