Yes, it is seductive-sounding. And yes, we switched to a very different idea shortly after YC started. I still think "OkCupid for jobs" has merit, but it has some serious problems, too, not least of which are that it only gets really valuable after lots of companies and people are using it (and we didn't have a good way to bootstrap, at least from the job-seeker end). Another issue is that matching isn't the really hard part of hiring -- the hard part is finding good people.
