There are thousands more at Monster just like him. While there may have been issues in the past, Monster has changed and for the better. It's a different company with thousands of dedicated associates. The only thing that hasn't changed Joel is your stupid rhetoric and baseless accusations. It might be better if you used your site and blogs to help connect people with jobs the way Monster does. Now that would be an honorable accomplishment! At a time when hundreds of thousands of families are suffering, trying to figure out how to pay their mortgages, credit cards, medical, education, and other bills, don't you think it's time to get real?

Seems like everyone is having issues but larger firms (ie: Monster & Careerbuilder) have a little more stability - money in the bank. So does this mean that we're seeing the last of Jobster, JobFox, Bounty - etc? And if they are going down, what are Simplyhired and Indeed doing to grab more market share?

Ex-Jobfox and current Jobfox employees are out there telling people of the dire situation. Rumors about their demise have been swirling around a lot in the last few months, especially since their last layoff. Not sure what Rob could do to resurrect his company other than get another VC handout. I think that's probably the only thing that would keep Jobfox afloat.

Their marketing "guarantees me 3 times the interviews" other poor schlubs would get that don't pony up. I'm sure that was never really measured but that's what it says. I've had my resume on there for 2 years and the same 5 jobs have been "matched" to me ever since day one with no change.
