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!

[...] Chris Morrison wrote an article for VentureBeat a few weeks ago in which he shared some insight about how big the job market is. This may be an indication of why there are 40,000+ job boards and what seems like a monthly parade of new ones. Chris indicated in his article that Eric Yoon from JobThread conveyed to him that [...]

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.
