Hi everybody,
in addition to the recent 123people design changes we eventually also adopted our blog’s design. Much cleaner, simpler and we think – more beautiful 
.
Let us know if what you are missing or if you simply don’t like it.

Lifehacker had this to say about 123people. ‘123people is a strong people-search engine, but one of the best pieces of functionality available to 123people searchers is its email notification feature which sends out an email alert whenever the results of a specific search changes.’
Your vote counts, please vote for 123people- your favorite people search

Between current economic conditions and the technological evolution of the Internet, the traditional approach most job seekers have taken in the past is no longer viable.
The new approach is far different. It boils down to the fact that there are fewer jobs available, more competition for those jobs and more touch points for recruiters and seekers to interact.
Social networks are starting to become part of the criteria that both hiring managers and college admissions officers are using to weed out applicants. One in Five hiring managers conduct background checks using social networks (primarily Facebook), while one in ten college admissions officers do the same.
It’s time for you to be open-minded and think differently about how you’re going to get your next job and keep it. Conduct a People Search instead of a Job Search using 123people. You can target your search to company execs and hiring managers of companies you want to work for, track current employees and find out more about what else they do. With the contact details such as; email address, facebook, linkedIn and twitter profiles provided you can reach out and network connecting on a personal level.
Many studies have noted that 80% of jobs are taken through networking, but few have sought to use the web to search and locate people they would actually enjoy working for at companies that they get excited about.

The New Year is here and the people at 123 people are making some resolutions for 2009.
Russell CEO of 123people ‘in 2009 we are going to continue our strong growth in Europe and the United States and push forward with bringing people search closer to home with more local partners, faster searches, and more local languages. More than 2 million people visited our site since our launch in October 2008 and we are expecting more than 10 million by the summer of 2009. Against the trend of charging for people searches, 123people will stay free and advertising supported.’
