Yahoo Expands Job Postings Search

Yahoo Inc. is expanding its job postings with a search feature that scours the Web to find listings from other sites.

The program, which Yahoo said was being tested and would be added to its HotJobs website, displays job listings from company, university and government sites. HotJobs previously included only purchased ads.

The technology may help Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo step up a challenge to Monster Worldwide Inc., which operates the most-used website for employment advertising, and Microsoft Corp.'s MSN job search engine.
