Oh boy, 4 releases in one day, why? Simple – the upgrades were massive enough to introduce some bugs which we were fixing as fast as we could. Now, the app is up to v. 1.5.9 and it also got a little face lift.
It was pretty obvious from people comments that despite the note on app home page – users totally missed the fact that graphic at the bottom allowed to select alternative search engine. We changed that to button, so it’s more pronounced and more obvious.
Hire*A*Droid v. 1.5.5 adds 3-rd engine to the list. Welcome LinkUp! Please note that LinkUp currently supports only US and Canada so if you need to search in more countries switch to ether SimplyHired or Indeed.com.
How? Just click on the search engine icon or select “Engine” from the menu.
It’s been a while but v. 1.5.0 is finally out! It adds new, exciting ability to choose underlying search engine to get latest and greatest jobs. In addition to the original SimplyHired you can now select Indeed.com by simply touching “powered by” icon at the bottom of the main screen.
This release also separates widget from the app. The widget is not free but is priced at very affordable 99 cents US. It sports new, upgraded design and retains all former functionality except notifications.

A Top Job Search (a.k.a. Hire*A*Droid) according to http://cyrket.com tops the list of most downloaded “job search” applications on Android Market
Yes, the name of the Android app is now “A Top Job Search”. We got hints from our users that “Hire*A*Droid* was a little bit too nerdy and cryptic (we still like it)
On the mechanics side here are the important changes:
You may not realize it but when you add your job listing using our site it will come up at the top of related search in “A Top Job Search” Android widget. To give you an example: If you placed a job with word “mobile” in the title or listing’s description, when Android phone owner searches for keyword “mobile” using the app your listing will appear as the first entry (or one of the top entries if there are multiple job listings) in the search results giving your listing a priority over “backfilled” results
All candidates should have an interest in business software and significant graphic design experience, as well as at least one example iPhone, Android or BlackBerry application.
Hire*A*Droid v. 1.3.2 add some bug fixes, optimization and slight UI changes into search results. Lighter shade of grey is used to visually separate job description from the job header
