MCLEAN, Va., May 28 /PRNewswire/ — Jobfox is rapidly winning market acceptance — from both employers and job candidates — with many advancements that make the career site a favorite over traditional job boards and social networking sites, according to a new special report from Vital Analysis, Jobfox: A Fox in the Career Board Hen House.
(Logo: )
“Jobfox’s solution is elegant and contains high-value functionality for both employers and prospects, especially for already-employed professionals,” said Brian Sommer, the author of the report and CEO of TechVentive Inc. and Vital Analysis, a technology research organization. “The market acceptance of Jobfox has been material.”
A free download of the Vital Analysis report, Jobfox: A Fox in the Career Board Hen House, is available via Jobfox at . The report takes an in-depth look at effective recruiting services for hiring already-employed professionals, the advantages of using Jobfox () over other Internet-based solutions and conclusions about the future of online recruiting.
“With advanced candidate-focused features, Jobfox enables recruiters — for the first time — to efficiently and cost-effectively tap into the huge candidate pool of more than 30 million already-employed Americans who are open to job changes,” said Rob McGovern, the CEO of Jobfox. “This population of highly skilled candidates is highly skilled and 10 times larger than the 3 million people who are actively searching for new jobs at any given time.”
Such prized professionals — part of the group called “passive” seekers within the recruiting industry — have been missing from traditional job boards such as CareerBuilder and Monster, according to the Vital Analysis report.
“In fact, gainfully employed individuals are currently punished, discouraged or professionally embarrassed when their old resumes surface on a job board during a routine recruiting search by their current employer,” according to Sommer in his report. “The greatest limiting factor for traditional recruiting solutions in attracting passive job candidates is that their solutions were never designed to do so.”
Social networking sites, such as LinkedIn and Facebook, have recently offered employers the ability to tap into their databases of users in an effort to find experienced workers, according to the report. But such “retrofitted” solutions have created a backlash of user distrust.
“When people sign up with specific social networks, they are surprised when their current employer ‘discovers’ their online presence and personae,” Sommer said. “Social network participants use these networks to stay close to peers and colleagues, and are often offended when they find their personal data is being sold or shopped to headhunters, recruiters and others without tacit approval.”
In contrast, Jobfox candidates provide approvals for when they can be contacted by recruiters, by which employers and how they’d like to be contacted. The site includes additional confidentiality controls to protect the identity of employed professionals. Other Jobfox advantages include:
— Precision Skills Matching. Based on their Jobfox profiles, candidates
receive continuous feedback on highly matched employer requirements via
an online tracking center, e-mail, instant messaging and mobile text.
Candidates do not have to re-create search strings to search through
hundreds of job postings.
— Personal Branding. A free Jobfox page is available to candidates,
giving each professional a unique “URL”
(, for example) to dynamically
showcase skills, talents, career aspirations and job-change
receptiveness.
— Top Results. Job listings and candidate profiles do not age or atrophy
as they do on job boards, where the most recent listings and records
always go on top. On Jobfox, the most relevant jobs and candidates are
always presented first.

Founded in 2004, Jobfox is the fastest-growing career site on the Internet, attracting more than a million unique monthly visits from prospective job candidates. Jobfox employer customers — 1,500 and growing — find Jobfox to be a more efficient more cost-effective source of highly skilled candidates.
Jobfox was recently named a winner of the Red Herring 100 North America award given each year to the top private companies that are driving the next wave of innovation. Earlier this year, Jobfox was recognized as an Official Honoree for the 12th Annual Webby Awards and was named a 2008 most promising startup by American Venture Magazine.
