Newish recruitment site in Australia JobX who promote their site is “all about giving you control and enabling you to promote yourself and network with others” is having a bit of an identity crisis. It seems they are not sure if they want to be a job board or a dating site!
How do I know this?
Check out http://perfectdate.jobx.com.au, the JOBX Dating Site.

Well, maybe they know more about dating than they do about online employment, which wouldn’t be too difficult.

Ah that’s not a real dating site!

@Jobx NZ well no of course it isn’t but a weird marking approach, what about http://50things.jobx.com.au?

Those guys at JobX always have had a warped sense of humour.
It certainly got a laugh in our office - was that the intended reaction or were we somehome supposed to tie that into a job search?
I notice the page defaults to (I am a) Man (seeking) Men …
If you follow the link at the bottom of the page (Designed & Developed by Daemon Group) it just gets more confusing.

I cant see how this is good for their business?
As an advertiser would you want to be connected with a business that is advertising in dating or porn? HR departments may need to evaluate their social responsibility by advertising through jobx
Daemon Group are their marketing consultants.

I think we’re are a bit too quick to pass judgement.
Delve a little further, you will find it’s just a joke site, presumably intended to draw attention to JobX. (although given some of the comments so far this might be backfiring).
Try a search and see what happens

Kevin - very fair point although for some people time is money so I guess don’t spend much time trying to understand.
