Job sites double as match-making for a perfect fit.

As more and more people are using Internet job sites to look for jobs, it was just a matter of time before those sites start acting more like match-making sites. Just finding someone a job doesn't seems enough, it got to be a perfect fit. Several job sites now offer free of charge, the match-making feature just like dating sites match-up singles looking for love by digging deeper into the candidates personal lifestyles using proprietary algorithms. Four sites that offer the new service were used by the Wall Street Journal in a comparison study; they are: Bintro.com, Jobfox.com, Trovix.com which are all built around this new feature, and CareerBuilder.com.
The way these sites work is quite similar with all of them requiring users to register and fill out a questionnaire to determine a match with some differences in the length and the ease to answer the questions contained in the questionnaires. But one of them, Bintro goes a little further by offering free lance opportunities to entrepreneurs who like the freedom and flexibility that working on specific projects provide.
Almost all of these sites scan their own database for a match while one, Trovix, scrolls the entire web to find one.
