WorkZoo.com yesterday launched a job search engine that combines over 40,000 new jobs daily from a range of employment Web sites across the United States. The new search engine provides users with a personalized job map showing where the jobs are in the United States that match their skill set.

WorkZoo crawls the Web several times daily, and stores jobs in its index as they appear on employment web sites. Sites indexed by WorkZoo's job search engine include the top 10 career sites in the United States and a variety of niche Web sites. WorkZoo automatically removes duplicate jobs from its search results and provides a stored version of each job in case a Web site is unavailable. The search engine includes several sorting methods and filters to help job seekers better target their search. WorkZoo also offers its users jobs via e-mail and job feeds via RSS.
