I don't think so - I didn't like Market10, I'm not too fond of "JobFox"; Whateva. The important thing is that its way too limited in scope to be of much value. A couple of cities, you put your info out there - it matches you up with jobs - sorta - then tells you where you do or don't match - sorta. Too limited - does notlive up to the marketing - worst thing possible. I always thought it was Under Promise - Over Deliver - maybe I got confused. Jim Better Name?

At least it you can figure out what it is, more or less, from the name. (...said the guy who named his site FRACAT) However, you're dead on with the "lost in the clutter" comment. After seeing the site, I understand why they picked it (you are the "JobFox" - you're being hunted!), but there have to be some better choices. Like (off the top of my head): CandidateHunter JobsFindU ResumeAuction CustomJob ReverseJobHunt TheHunted But, hey, it's not like they spent $150K or so to get the new name. Oh, they did?
