To be clear, greed certainly isn't our intent. As Dave (djbrowning) wrote, we're concerned about the quality of the content on the site. We're also giving away coupon codes right now (see my post below) to drive job posters to the site.
What about manual approval until the site has momentum?
Really nice site. Any chance of EU-based jobs on there in the future, or is it strictly USA?
Site 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.
RSS feed is now added, thanks for the suggestion!
Down? I'd love to check it out, but I'm getting a "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message every time.
Our sluggified SEO friendly job posting URLs choked on a more interesting job post.
Love 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.
His charges look pretty modest if he has even a minimal success rate.

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.
for now you can easily moderate postings yourself. I would suggest using Turk or finding another resource that can do the manual moderating, you need to be expanding the core tech and business. Getting bogged down in these kind of tasks can kill your momentum.
If they don't see who's posting and what's being posted, how can they know if they're doing a good job. How can they spot the opportunity and pivot?
I know you don't mean it this way, but in a way you are saying hide from the customers and carry on coding.
Manually checking every post could be an excellent way of figuring out who's using the site and what the common frustrations are.
If they were getting 100 listings a day it would be a different matter, but I doubt they will be getting that many.

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
