In this paper, we proposed an agent-based middleware for Job Matchmaking in a teleworking community. We built an agent-based model of organizing distributed teleworkers for big projects and designed a multi-agent system that performs job matchmaking. The matchmaking agent can also carry out negotiation tasks to make a better match. The matchmaking agents use teleworkers' heuristics acquired dynamically through user interface agents to search for suitable working relationships among many participants in a teleworking community, who are also represented by agents.
