Hrm I think I love the tagline more than the site. I really like what OkCupid has done and would love it if someone actually built a jobs site that worked in the same way. Both sides have lists of questions which are presented to them and they answer them and/or rate how important the answers of their prospective parter are. How would this work for a job site?

Q. What's your favorite CSS preprocessor?

- sass - less - I don't write CSS

Q. Do you want to work in an office where there are dogs?

- absolutely! - that would be cool - don't really care

etc.

I think there are a LOT better ways to find good employee/employer matches than pulling in job listings and resumes. OK Cupid for jobs is a great idea, I just hope you end up building it!



Yeah, that type of job search would be hugely helpful. Some of the other questions that come to mind are:

Q. I'd like to bike to work - within 10 minutes - within 20 minutes - i don't bike to work

Q. I need health insurance - the full package - at least medical - not important

Q. I'd like catered meals - every day - occasionally - not important

We just built out a new job search as well and have been thinking about this quite a bit - https://jobfusion.co
