McLean, Va. (April 14, 2008) - Jobfox, one of the fastest-growing career-connection sites on the Internet, is a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, honoring the most innovative private technology companies based in North America.

"Market enthusiasm continues to grow for Jobfox and its unique set of online services that empowers working professionals and connects them intuitively - based on the specific matching algorithms of skills and job requirements - to employers," said Jobfox CEO Rob McGovern.
