I  query that statement, because this is a well known bug in macromedia 
flash-plugin for linux: It can not handle wmode=transparent.
Due to this bug the flash movie ignores the z-index, or does not show 
transparent parts of the movie transparent, instead transparent parts 
are white opaque. The flash movie is all the time on top and ignores 
the z-index.

To Illustrate that buggy behaviour here some screenshots:

Here is a site that I did, it shows more comprehensive that flash bug::

Sorry for the linebreak, please append the rest of the line into the 
adressbar of your browser.

This bug affects all flash capable browsers in linux.

I don't know about the other site 'Job Search', also it's not the site 
the OP mentioned.

Kind regards
