Techmare

TechMare, a vertical search engine focused on tech jobs, was founded in October 2008. It is similar to other job oriented search engines like Indeed, but focuses on engineering jobs in Information Technology, or IT.




Functionality

Techmare's interface provides customized search options that allow users to refine their search query. For example, after conducting a basic search for "Network Engineer", users may further refine their search results by clicking a link for "CCIE", "Start up" or "security". This results in the user being shown just networking jobs that match the additionally selected criteria.

Comparison to Job Boards and Search Engines
TechMare is not a job board and does not actually contain any job listings of it's own. Instead, it simply aggregates jobs from other sources including job boards and career sections of various IT firms such as IBM, Cisco and Nokia on it's search engine results page or SERP.

While general search engines typically index as much of the internet as possible, Techmare only indexes sites that contain IT related job listings. Obviously this system reduces the amount of actual results found by any particular query.

For example, searching for Cisco's "CCIE" certification on Google or Yahoo would produce a number of results containing that key word including schools, books, and courses. While the same search conducted on TechMare produces primarily job search related results.

Name and Logo
The meaning for the first part of TechMare's name is obviously derived from the word Technology. The second part, Mare, is derived from Latin and means sea. The company's logo is comprised of the word "TechMare" with the trident of Neptune located on the stem of the letter "h" .


Languages and Countries
Currently TechMare provides search services only for Japan based job search.
