JOBFOX is a fraudulent job board. They prey on the unemployed. My name is Henry. I live in Los Angeles, CA. I asked jobfox to cancel my membership within 1/2 hour of receiving their "Welcome" message. They did not acknowledge the cancelation. They proceeded to charge my credit card 4 days later. I tried again repeatedly. They acknowledge my request to cancel but they still drag their feet about the refund. I still don't have a refund after 2 months of trying. No phone number to call. No real person to talk to. Their website is a scam. WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM JOBFOX. Spread this warning around so that otrhers don't fall victim to their practices.

Chris, I think this title might have worked too: "new companies offer old ways to burn up money". Trovix sold but I wouldn't read too much into that!

check out roundpegs.com -- we also match job seekers to employers but we use a ad-supported model to allow anyone to post a job / find a job.

This is an interesting idea...It is a market that still have a lot of innovation left.

That's possible and is a pretty unique idea. This does have benefits to the company doing the searching

Just to be clear, Trovix (the company) has been around for quite a while. My company was using their service to manage job postings and resume submissions over a year ago. I think its just the mass-market service that is new.
