site to make personal introductions between employers and job candidates,
today announced that its employer customer base has more than doubled over
the first eight months of 2008. Jobfox now has more than 2,000 nationwide

"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.
Other Jobfox services for employers include:
-- Human-assistance with introductions. The Jobfox Intros team monitors all
5-Star matches and assists in the coordination of introductions.
-- Ongoing networking with candidates. With My Jobfox Connections(TM),
employers maintain a dynamic talent-pool network that is continuously

-- Auto-posting. With Jobfox AutoPost, employers automatically import jobs
from applicant tracking systems and from company Web sites.
"Jobfox continues to distance itself as a leader of online recruiting
innovations," said Jobfox CEO Rob McGovern. "In addition, the Jobfox team
provides a personal touch that employers only find with top-dollar
employment agencies and staffing firms."
Candidates are also turning to Jobfox for an improved career management
experience. Jobfox's candidate traffic has tripled over a 12-month period,
August 2007 through August 2008.
