Where to find old Yahoos?

Posted on January 11, 2009 by KathelineJeanPierre

While reading Ex-Yahoo Ryan Kuder’s Blog,  I discovered that he was no longer at Yahoo!.  As he was the Senior Global Marketing Manager at Yahoo! Answers,  (more specifically working on community products like Yahoo! Answers) I briefly met him in one of my trips to California.  

Via his blog, I also discovered this interesting website for Ex-Yahoos who were laid off, the  PurplePeoplecollective.com . Some ex-Yahoos looking for gigs or jobs and available for hire have user profiles posted.  If you are hiring, it is good to know where to find them.

    Thanks for the post, Katheline! Ex yahoos make awesome hires. Hopefully we can help hook some of them up. But even for non-ex-yahoos, Purple People Collective is for anyone who has been laid off or is looking for work. Maybe we can get some listings for Canadian companies who are hiring? I know the team at Yahoo CA is/was all kinds of awesome.

    There is always Monster.com and Workopolis.com if you look at the tech sections.
