    Thank you for all your feedback again! You were not harsh at all and I can't help but agree with you. We'll try to improve it on the front end and back end and if we make enough mo…

    I agree with you. There are many problems with staffing agencies and this is one of them.

    In most places $140K is about the ceiling. In NYC it's not. Plus finances pay bonuses. Furthermore, what does it mean to be good? If you're smarter than your interviewer or know mo…

    Do you get actual offers or do you get asked to interview with them? There's a difference. Yeah, a lot of my co-workers including myself don't like it because we're helping the ric…

    Thank you for your feedback! My partner has exactly the same thoughts. The market is indeed extremely saturated and there's huge money in it. However, I haven't seen good websites …

    Why do you want to move out of academia? Get a tenure and you'll be doing your research plus you'll secure a job for the rest of your life.

    Here's what I find amazing. Nobody seems to like staffing agencies. Yet there are plenty of them, they have lots of jobs and employees. Mystery.

    Will do. By the way, we all can help each other if we tell our employers about this site (yeah, I know I need it more than you). Yesterday a couple of direct employers signed so ho…

    Still, financial industry has lots of high paying jobs as well as bonuses to neglect it. Would you resist making 140K on a base full-time? Keep in mind benefits and bonuses too.

    Agreed. By creating this thread, we were trying to attract both job seekers and recruiters/direct employers.

    Sorry, didn't mean any offense. I meant it as an old-fashioned way of saying "good friend", etc.

    That's the problem. Most recruiters stuff every keyword they're aware of into their job ads and raise salaries to get resumes but 180K in NYC is definitely not the limit. I know th…

    Unfortunately I don't know how to help you. If you're in academia, maybe you should check various colleges and universities' websites?

    We heard you. We'll try to attract direct employers and come up with a feature to eliminate staffing agencies from the results while keeping the interface as simple as possible. We…

    Gents, it's in the subject. We're a new site and to be honest, it is difficult to attract and satisfy both job seekers and recruiters. We'll do our best to attract direct employers…
