I left an incomplete section in the post body, then went shopping.

So here it is:

---

Some observations when looking at the matches pair up right now:

- individuals looking for jobs have extremely general postings

- companies looking to hire have extremely specific postings

- generally, match scores are very low (<50%) because of this mismatch

- individuals don't typically mention domain knowledge in any specific way

- individuals don't typically mention prior work history beyond time-in-industry (this makes sense on a public forum)

- individuals typically list technologies used

I don't have any conclusions to make right now, no advice for job posters or job seekers. It'll take two or three more of these before I've seen enough to start gelling the domain problems in my head.

I don't understand - there's years of historical data to look at?
