There are a handful of players in this space, including JibberJobber (the first web-based product, afaik), Isabont, and a few others. I hadn't kept tabs on PerfectJob because it's not web-based (it's more like JobTabs.com). I e-mailed Joel a few times, and even met him in person at Kennedy, but never got a mention... I just figured he kept to writing about tools for boards, HR and recruiters, not job seekers. Maybe that's changing with Vanessa onboard? Thanks Steven and Paul for bringing up JibberJobber.com.

While PerfectJob has a lot of strengths, I usually talk about two main differences: We provide instant context as you work. By linking records together, you immediately see how each item fits into your job search. Looking at a Contact, see why you know them, who they know, what their relationship is to your job opportunities, etc. All other entities can be linked together as well. The benefit to you is you can immediately pick up where you left off – you won’t spend time figuring out what you were doing. PerfectJob helps you keep momentum by incorporating coaching that is integrated with the rest of the application. So instead of just reading about what you should do in a given job search situation, you can get specific action items. And those items are placed into your to-do list. With context. So you can stay productive. I hope that helps explain why you should try PerfectJob. Steve Hi, Steve Davies from PerfectJob here.

As someone who has done job search and networking seminars for 1,100+ attendees over the past five years the amount of time that is saved by using such a system is worth the cash. I am curious, has JibberJobber been written about here? I did a search for it and could not find the post. I would think Jason Alba who has been around for a couple of years, written a couple of books, and done a lot of speaking engagements would have featured at some point.

What makes this new one any better? Seems pretty similar to the well established JibberJobber to me. What makes this new one any better?
