A news bulletin today mentions that there are 50 new jobs being created by the online business directory WhatsWhat (www.whatswhat.ie). WhatsWhat are similar to the goldenpages (even looks a little like it), in that they list companies contact details, phone/address etc. They are unique in the fact that they offer website design and SEO consultancy to these business listings. Currently they have over 60,000 companies listed, and claim to have 4,000 visitors per day. WhatsWhat was founded in 2002 by Barbara Gordon, a Wicklow based business woman, who wanted to get Irish companies online. Their directory offers 3 levels of listing, from €200 /year- €100 /year to free listings.

Update 15/02/2009 : Via Damien apparently these jobs are more commission based jobs, as apposed to full time positions.
It’s all hype, it’s just self employed work from home and the people there work on a commission base, depending on sales. It’s not really 50 new jobs at the company.
Yea positive attitude Steve, yea dope!
