#12charging before you have mass adoption is a recipe for disaster...you should wait until you have mass adoption then make a premium listing and charge for that. As it stands now, you'll have a dozen or so jobs, interest will fade, and employers will stop posting when they get few resumes
That's a really interesting point. Our concern with free listings was a flood of poor content, which would hide the good ones.

#13Love the design and the idea.
Agreed, the design is gorgeous.
As said above though, the pricing might be a bit high for a brand new site without a large userbase.

#14Really nice site. Any chance of EU-based jobs on there in the future, or is it strictly USA?
We'll look into it. I believe our job posting editor and credit card info form may prevent it right now.
Good feature request. Thanks!

Great feature request. We're on it.

#16as someone said in a previous "who is hiring" thread, there's a reason why people post their job opportunities on hacker news and not on the dozens of job board websites (hint: it's not because they don't want to pay $75).

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. If the market will bear it, you can charge for a service before "mass adoption"
not when the service suffers from a chicken and egg problem.
Why would someone pay money to list their job on a site with no traffic?
Why would someone go to a site like that if you only have a dozen jobs?
This can be something good...but they are shooting it in the leg by being greedy

#18Site looks nice. Right now there aren't a lot of jobs, so a good feature to attract seekers is some way to track jobs as they come in - email/sms/mobile updates, or even a simple RSS feed of jobs. This works well for other infrequent job sites like Top Ruby Jobs.

We're all over adding RSS.
It's also why we're offering free coupon codes to the first few people who email me (see below).

that's a good problem to have...that means you are actually popular enough for people to exploit....then you can introduce the paid pricing.
for now you can easily moderate postings yourself.
