Unless you’re looking to supplement your Bobst book shelving income with some light prostitution, Craigslist is rarely much help for student seeking legit jobs. The real leads are far outnumbered by jobs unsuitable, age-inappropriate or requiring a worrisome absence of clothing. This fact coupled with a crippling fear of post-college unemployment lead to the creation of Jatched.com, an NYU student-founded site with a ridiculous name but a decent concept behind it.

The idea is this: students and employers are matched up for one time and part time jobs via a dating site-style compatibility algorithm based on students’ self-professed proficiency at tasks from dog walking to C++ computer programming. The site’s currently in beta and sign up is fairly easy, though it does require handing over your address and phone number, which brings out my inner paranoid a little.

The four NYU students who started  the site based on a class project have yet to turn it into an actual money making business, but co-founder and CEO (ha) Robyn Fukumoto says they eventually plan to “offer a premium service with a pay per post model along with a service for large scale events that would require multiple students for an event.” Last month, only 27 students were matched with one time jobs, so the site’s not really in a place to collect much yet. But if they can actually turn Jatched into legitimate job matching source for NYU students, they deserve anything they can get.

For now, sign up for a profile, hope the mysterious algorithm recommends you for a job and enjoy the endless laughter/vomit potential offered by perhaps the most embarrassing entertaining “about” page ever.
