If you’ve ever compared job fairs to speed-dating, that comparison just got more interesting.<\/p>\n

\"speed-dating\"<\/a><\/p>\n

eHarmony<\/a>, the company known for using personality profiling to create the perfect match for those looking for a personal relationship, recently announced they are getting into the job search and recruiting business. And I’m all for it.<\/p>\n

Those of you who have paid attention to this blog at all know that I am a huge proponent of finding a good fit between employer and employee. The search and interview process must be a two-way street. The prospective employee should be asking just as many deep, probing questions as the hiring company.<\/p>\n

Matching an employee’s personal style to the culture of an organization is a critical component of long term satisfaction and success for both the employee and the company.<\/p>\n

I am hopeful for what the eHarmony approach can bring to this field. I am equally excited about other job-matching services paying attention to this and possibly adding more personality and culture-matching algorithms to their search engines.<\/p>\n

In the end, we all benefit. Because Work Should Be Fun!<\/em><\/p>\n

PS – If you are an employer who can’t wait for the eHarmony product launch, consider the services of someone such as my friend, Michael Spremulli<\/a>. His company provides pre-employment assessments<\/a> that will help you match the right person to the right job.<\/p>\n
