Jobfox is a career site geared towards passive job seekers.‚ Jobfox is a company started by the original founders of Careerbuilder, and is set-up to work specifically with passive candidates by matching open job opportunities to their skill sets and predefined criteria. Job seekers come to the site and set-up a profile with very specific details, put up their resume and get presented with matched career opportunities. Job matches in the Jobfox system are ranked on a 1-10 scale, so users can see what matches up best with their criteria. Job seekers can determine who gets to see their resume with‚ confidentiality features, and determine how to move forward with job opportunities from employers.

The site is beneficial for recruiters in that the majority of users who are on Jobfox are not actively seeking employment, but are willing to look at the “right” opportunity if it matches their criteria. A large percentage of Jobfox users are not on any of the other major job boards such as Monster or Careerbuilder. In addition, if you get a candidate from Jobfox who is a 9/10 match for instance for your open position, you can be sure that the candidate is well qualified especially by skills sets, as Jobfox uses a fairly robust system.
