Dear Disgruntled Yahoos, Microsoft Is Hiring!
Microsoft took out a full-page ad in the San Jose Mercury News today, in an attempt to highlight its recruiting efforts in Silicon Valley.
Of course, BoomTown is not sure the crack engineers that Microsoft is seeking actually read newspapers, but we like the software giant’s spunk at a little creative Google-smacking and Yahoo-employee-baiting.
With the headline: “Microsoft Has Search Jobs in the Valley,” the ad goes on to tout Microsoft’s commitment to search and online advertising in a come-on to join the company’s 2,000 other employees in Mountain View, Calif.
