Jiibe is a new job-match service that is based on user-generated content

What company is offering:
Jiibe is a new job-match service that is based on user-generated content. That means reviews and feedback are aggregated and incorporated into a single profile for a particular company.
How It Works:

At Jiibe’s website, you’ll be invited to take a personality quiz. This is for getting to know your company, but it gets to know you as well. There are two sliders on the quiz, which lets you indicate the actual situation for each quiz question, as well as your ideal. Once you’ve completed the quiz, you can create a profile. Indicate the name of the company at which you work, and this data is added into the system for the creation of a company profile.

If you’re looking for a job, Jiibe will show you other companies that are a good match for you, based on these company profiles as well as your ideals. Filter results by the name of the company, industry, size, and the compatibility scale. If you read a company profile, you’ll see the description that Jiibe has laid out based on the quizzes of people that work there.
What's Different Features:
It looks like outside reviews of the company are pulled into the buzz section as well. This is a good addition, as it incorporates some third party premium and/or editorial content to a site that is completely based on UGC. It helps balance things out a bit.

For each company profile, employees (that are Jiibe users) are listed, and there’s also a bulletin board where Jiibe users can ask and answer questions regarding the company. Jiibe’s recommendation system will show you similar companies in relation to the one you’re currently viewing. Yo can check out user profiles as well, which will show a tag cloud of their ideals, their company, their friends, and the buzz going on around their company.
