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

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.

charging 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

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. If the market will bear it, you can charge for a service before "mass adoption"

Anecdotal evidence: http://functionaljobs.com . Similar great idea, but no new posts in almost a month.
