eBay & PayPal Jobs site (www.ebayjobsireland.com) is the second Irish Employers recruitment web site (that I have found so far). The fact that there is a web site is very good for eBay & PayPal, but the web site itself is… everything that a jobs site should not be. It is absolutely amazing that a eBay and PayPal both 100% Web 2.0 companies managed to have a jobs site of so low standard.
Just a few main points what is wrong with the eBay and PayPal jobs in Ireland web site:
1. ebayjobsireland.com domain name as opposed the Irish domain ebayjobsireland.ie – this will definitely impact the search engine ranking, and help in hiding the site from the Irish job seekers
2. A home page is just a pure branding message. Where are the jobs?
3. Where exactly are the jobs?
Click on Careers in eBay. A new page opens. Are the jobs there? No.
Click Search eBay Vacancies? A new page opens. Are the jobs there? No.
Click on Search openings link. Are the jobs there? No.
But there is a Search form. Fill the form
Click search, and VOILA! Here are the jobs.
In just 7 clicks and you are reading a job description!
From a usability point of view – that is a failure.
By looking a bit deeper into the structure of the page itself, one can see that the jobs are actually not on the ebayjobsireland.com, but the page is actually showing a Brassring.com page in a window frame. The effect of that is that no search engine will ever find a single job advertised on the ebayjobsireland.com page.
From the search engine optimisation point of view – that is a failure.
Compared to the Microsoft Recruitment site in Ireland that has even the RSS feeds,
eBay and PayPal Irish career website
wins the
2nd Best Irish Recruitment Site Award for 2008.
I also need to mention that eBay is one of the 10 Best Companies to Work for in Ireland.

Hy all! I am just looking just to find at least a high-quality collage to learn about international affairs. The university will ideally be somewhere in the United States. Anyone also told me that actualy the Elliott College of International Affairs should be one from the verybest found in our whole entire United States of America. Does anyone know if the information about the academy is undoubtedly realistic? It will be really great if any person would have various helping answers due to me.
