Have you considered adding video profiles of applicants? There is a startup that Paul Graham interviewed that does exactly that. But I like your overall presentation more. Good luck!

Its a good thought, but right now, we're more focused on helping companies just organize their existing way of hiring (and not change their ways themselves)

I kind of need exactly the opposite of this. I'm an engineer that's on the market again and being contacted by scores of companies, etc. I need a convenient way to manage all of them.

Doesn't a CRM sort of satisfy that need? Lot of people use them for lead management.

Nice look and feel. I don't yet have the need, but I'd try it when I do. Your home page has an info-graphic and some advantages/benefits, you also have a how-it-works walk-through and you have a 4-page tour. Seems like overkill, but you probably know better than I do: 1. which of these is converting? 2. which are most prospects (not people like me who just wanted to look at the app) visiting and spending time on? 3. were any of these pages or sub-pages a direct response to customer requests (implicit or explicit)?

I'm not asking for a defense - I'm asking because the answers would really help us our with our own site!

Thanks.

Regarding the "How am I charged" information: just curious, why did you decide to go with that setup (an "piggy bank" that you fill and then are deducted from one day at a time at a set rate) instead of the more standard "We charge you $30 monthly at the beginning of the month" practice? Easier for you on your end? Or do you think the customer gains a benefit from it? Just curious (Note: I'm not someone who's thinking about buying this and held back by this practice, just a curious bystander).

The current payment system is in transition - we want to eventually move to the recurring payment model like you mentioned. The reason it stands today is that things like managing change of plans, trial periods etc is a big pain with paypal. We're exploring various (non-paypal) alternatives to this.

1) Its hard to say anything conclusively from a conversion perspective yet. 2) A lot of visitors go to the tour before signing up. That is also where they spend most time. 3) Not really. Most pages are still in a transition, and we're trying a bunch of things. Currently, the changes are based on "what we want our users to know", rather than user feedback
