#22I went on an interview like this already, some of the recruiters in NYC are already doing this. I found it pretty impersonal and not very effective.
Can you think of any improvements to what you experienced? Or do you think the whole proposition is flawed?

#23Site seems to be in progress still - the "companies attending" list is empty ( http://hirelite.com/companies ) and so is the blog ( http://blog.hirelite.com/ ). Interesting concept though, looking forward to seeing which companies will be attending. Will you be updating the blog as new companies are added?
For now, who shows up on the "companies attending" list is manually populated (when a company signs up, they send me a job post that I put on that page). I'm in the process of getting job descriptions from the attendees. The blog is currently empty because I haven't written anything :). I plan to get some content up there this weekend.

How many attendees have you received commitments from?
