"Matchmaking Jobs" is coming

Just like the highly successful online dating and matchmaking has changed how many of us meet our significant others and dates the same is coming for jobs. You knew it had to be on the way to make it easier and faster to connect with the best job and employer for the needs of both. The company listing will pay a fee and be asked a series of questions about the position that is currently available. But that listing fee will be much less than the employment agency or placement service cost. The applicant will pay only a nominal fee to be considered and be asked a long series of questions that will help the computer make a close match.

The days of waiting in a personnel agency lobby while the counselor makes calls will soon be over. You will be presented exactly the same to every employer that you match up with and not at the mercy of how the agency person presents you to them. The costs will be less for the matchmaking service so the fees will be less. This will allow more businesses to list jobs that could not afford the agency fees. It is a win win situation and should get better with time.

It is also in the works to place temporary workers and consultants at low cost to both sides. Temps can change jobs quickly and easily without making that uncomfortable personal contact. If an employer does not feel the temp is right for them they can easily have a new one the following day without "firing" anyone. Every industry is changing with technology and finding the right job or employee is no exception.
