Telework is becoming an important aspect of our social life, and it is raising many new problems for us to solve, such as how to match the most appropriate teleworkers to the most appropriate employer. The objective in this pa per is to propose a concept of a web-based and agent-based support system for job matchmaking carried out in a huge telework community, and to develop a prototypical system based on the concept. A model of job matchmaking in telework community is formalized, and current problems in web-based job matchmaking are pointed out. Next, we proposed a concept of agent-based support system for job matchmaking that consists of an agent-based job match making process and a elaborating process of the result by collaborative agents. The domain-specific heuristics used in the agent-based support process are formalized, and each agent in two process is designed. Finally, a prototypical system based on the design is developed.
