NEW YORK, NY and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 26, 2006 -- Dice Inc., the leading provider of job boards and job fairs for technology, engineering and security-cleared professionals, and Endeca, a next-generation information access company, today announced a host of new job search capabilities on Dice.com. The new job search experience, built on the Endeca Information Access Platform (IAP), is designed to help technology and engineering professionals more easily find and evaluate desirable career opportunities. Dice.com users can now take advantage of a variety of new features and functionality to speed the job search process and help them compare and contrast employment options more efficiently.
The Endeca IAP, a new type of information access technology, combines intuitive capabilities like search, navigation, visualization and analysis to help users quickly find, analyze and understand information. The new Dice.com job search experience was developed from the Endeca for Directories solution and then customized for technology and engineering occupations.
Dice.com's new interface includes:
"Technology and engineering professionals often use industry-specific criteria and keywords when searching for jobs, and typically how a candidate defines and prioritizes that criteria changes on a case-by-case basis," said Scot Melland, President and CEO of Dice Inc. "Endeca has helped us create a personalized user experience where we can account for the various ways people find relevant job postings and enable them to compare options in a way that best meets their unique needs."
"Dice is the definitive technology job board on the Web. Our goal in working with them was to uncover and take advantage of their rich data assets in order to make better use of the data that differentiates Dice from general job boards," said Jason Lewis, SVP of worldwide marketing for Endeca. "By arming candidates with the multiple tools and the context needed to more easily discover the best job opportunities, Dice can offer an experience that would have been impossible with traditional keyword search and database approaches."
