10 Dimensions of a Good Job Fit
Market10 understands that no two people, jobs or companies are the same. We also understand that each of these is multi-dimensional; none of which can be satisfied by any single aspect, element, factor or component. Through exhaustive research and state of the art technology Rob McGovern, founder and CEO of Market10, author of Bring Your ‘A’ Game: The Top 10 Secrets of a High Achiever and founder and former CEO of CareerBuilder, and his team were not only able to identify The 10 Dimensions of a Good Job Fit (sm), but developed the technology to bring these dimensions together to intelligently match the best candidates, with the best jobs at the best companies.
