I had no idea this kind of functionality existed on simplyHired!
Notice the bottom left corner button that reads “in Who do I know?”. It allows me to check out if I know someone at that company and can help me out with the job. [ but the problem is that post people DO NOT like being approached for such needs - if I already knew the person then it's ok of course - which then encourages me toconnect with everyone - not necessarily people I know, which cancels out LinkedIn's primary drive to encourage users to connect only if we know who we are connecting to. ]
Just an observation.

I’ve just signed up for Jambo.
Naina’s DiscoverMe Page is where you can read my Jambo profile.
At the outset it seems geared more towards social networking – but could work for business networking too. But I’m not sure how it helps in the flood of already existing similar technologies. Sure it works with Wireless – but I’m in India – how’s wireless going to help my case? But then most software/technologies are not designed for developing countries anyway 
I’ve created my profile and now I have to look for and add friends – then Jambo will seek them out if they are close to me and send me some kind of message so that I can then get in touch with them. One scenario I can think of – and I maybe wrong – I’m sitting in the waiting lounge of the airport and working on my laptop, Jambo is on – suddenly it pings me that someone I know from LinkedIn or openBC is in the vicinity – it will tell me who it is and then I could probably stand up on my chair and holler out their name if I don’t know what they look like 
 Or I could send them a message on Jambo and tell them where I am…
