Bixee is the Google of Indian jobs. They are searching jobs posted at all the popular Indian job sites. During my research there, I have seen jobs from Naukri, Jobs, Jobsahead, Careerkhazana!- Javascript tag ->and Timesjobs.
I like this idea because it allows me to see all the jos without having to go to each job site individually and doing the same searches again. Bixee provides an elegant solution by allowing you to search all of those jobs from just one site. Further more, it allows you to save that search and just see the updates to the results either as an RSS feed in my newsreader or a module in My Yahoo or in my email inbox. No more wasted time reading duplicates. And I have the piece of mind that I have not missed any job.
They have also provided the largest store of interview questions that I can find on any site. This alone is a big help to someone preparing for technical interviews.
All in all, a great site, but a lot more can be done to make this fully useful to jobseekers. I should be able to search jobs by experience and by title. Also, sometimes I want to find out other details about the companies whose jobs are posted such as #employees, financial details about them, the salary in the job, whether it is a startup, what the stock option plan is, whether the position is full-time/part-time/contractorship. All this information should be on every job site.
Also, once I have done a search, I would like to order the results by all the various attributes like salary, stability of job etc. a much richer interface than a simple Google-like interface is required.
One problem I have had with other job sites is the plethora of job consultants who throw totally irrelevant jobs in the hope of making some commission. I really hope Bixee is able to avoid that fate, otherwise it will just be another waste of a brilliant idea.
