In January 2002, Yahoo! acquired New York-based, HotJobs.com for $436 million. HotJobs gained popularity by having a $1.6 million TV advertisement run on Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999. HotJobs’ revenue at the time was only $2.5 million. HotJobs was started by Richard Johnson. Today, the service is known as Yahoo! HotJobs. Matt Martone runs the Job Search Marketing blog as a Manager of the Media Sales Strategy group for Yahoo! HotJobs in New York.
I briefly added the Application to see what it was about. After I added the application, Yahoo! HotJobs asked me to vote for and tag one of my friends who is “Most likely to quit the corporate world and move to Tibet to become a monk?” Yahoo!’s Elaine Lee is the lead overall with 5 votes as of right now. The application also asks what are the top 3 companies that you would love to work for? I put that I want a McJob at McDonald’s, Circus Circus in Las Vegas, and then Enron. Since I don’t really have any other friends that added the Application, the See your friends’ “Top 3″ list did not display anything.
