More Search and Alert via Instant Messaging: Indeed.com's "Jobs by IM"

We've been posting a lot in recent months about searching directly from an IM tool. Some of the postsĀ are listed at the bottom of this one.

Recently, we learned that we've failed to mention one job metasearch service, Indeed.com.

Indeed.com IM is more an alert tool than a search engine. This page has all that you need to get it up and running. The service works with:

GTalk
AIM
Yahoo Instant Messenger (coming soon)
Microsoft Messenger

Begin by sending a "hello" message to the service and then tell them the type of job, company name, location, etc., that you're looking for. As new jobs are found that match your criteria, you'll receive an IM.

To stop receiving alerts (at any time) send a STOP message to the Indeed IM service. Again, this page has the info.

Btw, Indeed.com also powers the job search at Clusty.com. Here you're able to use Clusty's dynamic clustering capabilities to find potential jobs. The clusters can also serve as an info discovery tool, helping you identify jobs and companies that, without the dynamic clusters, you might miss.

Also I'll mention AOL and Yahoo IM Web Search options.
