#347Why are sites that should be self sufficient shut down? It's a place where people can post jobs and find jobs. Why must it end? As long as the server bill is paid. I am sure [money bag types] even on this forum would pay this if the bill was published. If not can you give permission to scape and re-release it?
the job board is not the issue. it's a tiny part of our business. our staffing company is where we had lots of success, and it is enormously labor-intensive

#348I am usually very cynical when I hear about companies with good intentions. This however touched every string of my heart. You do not have to be so humble as you've done an amazing and honorable job.

To you - thanks and praise for what you'v…

Staffing agencies, from a super cynical point of view, take a slice of money that would otherwise go to the people actually working. I think in the more nuanced view staffing agencies allow people with irregular rhythms to still have a job. And of course helping people actually get a foot in the door! But if you're going to work full time anyways, and there's more open-ness to you being hired, why go through a staffi…
At least, the staffing agency can negotiate a better deal than you could find and secure for yourself.
Maybe, but maybe not - and maybe that negotiated difference leads to the profit slice or a higher profit slice.
Why would a person make $14.50/hour when they could make $15/hour applying directly to places?
The issue may be that so few people are looking for work right now that it's easier for convicted felons to be hired, perhaps not worrying about or taking on whatever vetting process that may or may not happen through an agency for people with a criminal record.
