Spanish jobs portal infojobs.net has just joined the ranks of mobile app providers with the release of InfoJobs for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

The portal says this free app offers job seekers similar functionality to its website, giving them access to nearly 90,000 listings. Job seekers can apply for positions via the app and check the status of their applications.

infojobs.net adds that future versions will offer the ability manage job alerts and CVs, and to access more company information.

In its most recent financial results statement, infojobs.net parent company Schibsted claimed the jobs portal was maintaining a clear market lead.

One day after Indeed added 24 new countries to its list, Simply Hired has followed with the release of job search engines for South Africa and Argentina.

Simply Hired says this brings the number of countries it covers to a total of 21 across six continents.

“Argentinean job seekers will have access to over 25,000 local job listings, and South African job seekers will have access to over 50,000 listings,” the search engine states.

Both these new search engines will make use of Simply Hired’s LinkedIn integration, which allows job seekers to view their LinkedIn connections alongside job search results.

Simpy Hired’s most recent expansion was the addition of Korea in early April.

US-based technology and engineering jobs website dice.com has unveiled its new Talent Network just as parent company Dice Holdings reports an 11 percent increase in revenue.

The features of the new dice.com Talent Network are similar to those added to clearancejobs.com – another Dice portal – in late June.

dice.com explains that the network will allow companies to communicate with technology professionals via real-time chat or instant message, and to release network-wide announcements about new positions or opportunities.

The new network will also offer companies an enhanced profile, which dice.com says will enable them to offer “a more personal and introspective look at the company and its culture.”

Technology professionals who are interested in particular companies can also choose to follow their updates and establish connections with hiring managers and recruiters. The use of social tools such as Facebook and Twitter to enhance job seekers’ online profiles is also being encouraged.

“Today, 75 percent of HR managers and recruiters have at least one hard-to-fill technology position,” says Tom Silver, senior vice president for Dice North America.

“By building and nurturing a talent pool within the Dice site, the Dice Talent Network offers companies a unique chance to identify talent with critical skill-sets early in the search process, while reinforcing their corporate brand.”

Meanwhile, dice.com parent company Dice Holdings has reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2010, with an 11 percent increase in revenue year-on-year to US$29 million.

The company’s net income grew 33 percent to $3.7 million, resulting in earnings per diluted share of $0.05.

“In the second quarter, our sales growth at both dice.com and eFinancialCareers was outstanding,” said Scot Melland, Dice’s chairman, president and CEO.

“These results underscore our view that the long-term global opportunity for our business is unchanged as customers continue to strongly value our specialised approach.”

naukri.com parent company Info Edge has announced Q1 profits after tax of 173 million INR compared to 133 million INR in the first quarter of 2009 – an increase of 30 percent.

This increase follows on from a 6.2 percent rise in profits recorded for the last quarter of 2009. The company’s total income for Q1 was 724 million INR, which is up 17 percent compared last year’s corresponding quarter.

“The business environment especially for hiring and real estate continues to improve, leading to a spike in the top line,” explained Ambarish Raghuvanshi, the company’s CFO and director. “The lead indicators e.g. business confidence, GDP, Naukri Job Speak Index are all up which augurs well for our businesses.”

As The Economic Times reports, there has been a reshuffle in Info Edge’s top management positions. The board has moved current COO Hitesh Oberoi to the managing director and CEO roles, in place of Sanjeev Bikhchandani.

Bikhchandani will now work as executive vice chairman of the company. Raghuvanshi’s role will also change to that of group president of finance as well as CFO.

twitjobsearch.com has just released a new “tweet this job” button inspired by the “retweet” button that has become familiar across the web.

twitjobsearch.com, a Twitter-based job search engine, says the button can be placed on job boards, recruitment consultancy websites, or company career websites. Once added, the “tweet this job” button acts as a distribution channel, reaching jobseeker followers along with search engines.

“We’re going through the popular Twitter tools one-by-one to build specialised versions for recruitment,” twitjobsearch.com co-founder Bill Fischer told recruitingtools.com.

twitjobsearch.com explains that a click of the button creates a customisable tweet that utilises best-practices for job tweets, builds a tiny URL that links directly to the job, and uses Twitter OAuth to securely and quickly facilitate tweeting.

The release of the “tweet this job” button follows twitjobsearch.com’s Skype integration, launched in May.

An audit of number two Australian jobs portal careerone.com.au has revealed calendar year losses of AUD$17.5 million and raised doubts about its future.

careerone.com.au, which completed its transfer to the Monster platform in March this year, “has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to meet its operating expenses and has primarily financed its operations through cash contributions from its stockholders,” according to an independent auditors’ report published by Monster.

The report states that careerone.com.au is in need of $5.6 million from its shareholders this year, but that “no formal arrangements have been reached” to provide this additional funding.

“Accordingly, Management believes that given the current economic environment and careerone.com.au’s reliance on their stockholders to continue to fund operations, there is substantial doubt about careerone.com.au’s ability to continue as a going concern,” the report continues.

Despite the report’s conclusions, careerone.com.au CEO Michael Harvey is still optimistic, telling smh.com.au that “Having a period of investment was always part of careerone.com.au’s strategy.”

“Clearly the [global financial crisis] has affected this year’s revenues, as it did the entire jobs industry, but News Ltd and Monster are more committed than ever to bringing real competition to the Australian market,” Harvey told the news website.

According to the audit report, careerone.com.au says its future is dependent on more funding from stockholders, continuing to use the Monster platform, sales and marketing support from parent company News Ltd, and its ability to contain operating expenses.

“There can be no assurance that careerone.com.au will be successful in achieving its long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable careerone.com.au to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term as a going concern,” the report states.
