Msen Inc. (Ann Arbor) and the Online Career Center are building job-brokering tools with more diversity than Usenet's systems-oriented misc.jobs.offered newsgroup. As a start, they've got several msen.jobs.* newsgroups and a series of msen.occ.* forums with occupational information. Special tools for human-resource departments will be added later.
