jobfox interjects on your behalf

Jobfox has introduced a new recruiting tool called Intros, a personal introduction service designed for candidates with a 5-star rating on the job site.

JobFox’s Intros Team will personally e-mail or text companies on behalf of the candidate. Job seeker ratings are based on JobFox’s Mutual Suitability System, a matching system that connects employers to candidates.

“Jobfox is doing what no other job board has done before - establishing one-to-one relationships and connections between candidates and employers,” JobFox CEO Rob McGovern said. “Our precision job-fit system knows when professionals are 5-Star matches for positions. This enables Jobfox to quickly move these candidates into the networking ‘A’ list of compatible employers.”

It’s great that so many job boards are willing to do the work for candidates nowadays, but there’s still something to be said about a job seeker who aggressively goes after the company and the jobs he wants with little help from anyone. What would speak more volumes to a company - another email from a job board in their Inbox, or a carefully-crafted cover letter with the company’s best interests at heart?

If a candidate sincerely covets a certain position, they’ll most likely rather that the CEO feel the grip of their handshake, not vexation at having to deal with another marketing campaign.

    Jobfox has a team of people who are going to introduce candidates to the staffing solutions firm rep who has paid to post a job? How very revolutionary!

    If I live in Washington, DC and a CEO in Seattle wants to shake my hand, will Rob fly me there, too?

    Its def cool to see jobfox taking this step.

    I wonder if they’d ever be willing to get it another step further and offer their technology to employers on a pay-per-hire model.

    How is the technology that allows firefox to determine 5 star candidates any different from that of Trovix? Is it too worth 72 million?
