"Jobfox has a way of matching us with candidates we couldn't find through
other sites," said Chris Drakeford, a recruiter for Time Warner Cable Inc.
"Jobfox captures candidates who are working and not aggressively looking.
We've been amazed at how well Jobfox matches us with qualified people."
Drakeford is one of more than 6,000 corporate recruiters saving time and money
by using Jobfox to more efficiently fill positions with highly qualified
professionals. For example, Time Warner Cable recently used Jobfox to hire
sales and information technology professionals. Drakeford said Jobfox was
twice as fast in getting her to the right candidates versus using myriad
traditional job boards such as CareerBuilder and Monster.
Other companies recently added and benefiting from Jobfox's precision matching
and personal introductions include Aflac Incorporated, Bank of America
Corporation, Brigham and Women's Hospital, The Cheesecake Factory
Incorporated, Choice Hotels International, Coinstar Inc., Edmunds.com Inc.,
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Ernst & Young LLP, Foot Locker Inc., Mitsubishi Motors
North America Inc., Mortgage Bankers Association, New York Life Insurance
Company, Skechers USA Inc., TomTom NV, Verizon Communications Inc. and Whole
Foods Market.
Jobfox created the Internet's first precision job-fit matching service with
its Jobfox Mutual Suitability System(TM), enabling employers to pinpoint
information-rich candidate profiles. Jobfox Intros services extend the
benefits of Jobfox's scientific matching by enabling employers to immediately
connect to and network with top-matching candidates. The millions of job
seekers who visit Jobfox each month can also make introduction requests with
best-fit employers.

agencies and staffing firms."
