Great job guys! I really like the layout and the clear structure of the submenus. I´m curious if you come out on top!

Thank you very much! This means a lot to us! Hehe we thought about that, but we are not participating in the company matching.. ;)

I was enthralled until you asked me to create an account - I have so many accounts online that I really don't want to have to remember yet another password (or compromise my security by reusing one). Is forcing account creation key to the core functionality?

Also, I'd be wary of signing up with Facebook for a job-search app - while I'm not actually looking for a new job, if I were that'd put me off in case you posted a notification to my wall.

Thanks for the feedback! The overall goal of the platform is to connect talents with interesting companies. Especially for huge companies it is often hard to find suitable candidates. If you wouldn't register they couldn't reach out to you at a later point.

You are right about facebook! That's exactly why we choose to implemenent the mannual signup option without facebook. But we do respect the privacy of our users very much! We never post on any walls or something. In our the privacy settings you can furthermore control the visibility of every single field on your profile.

would it not be possible to leave an email address without registering for an account? It's more the password side that's a pain really.

Also in response to your edit, I do trust that you guys are honest but I'm aware of a lot of sites which use Facebook Connect to get permissions to someone's wall and just start spamming them heavily. By emphasising Facebook Connect you may get tarred with the same brush.

In the assessment, 'help' and 'next' should be farther apart, different colors, maybe in different places, and definitely bigger.

EDIT: And I get really turned off when I have to spam my friends with requests, so thanks for giving me the option not to.

EDIT2: This assessment is painfully long.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hi! Thanks for the report! This is new to us :/ Which browser culture do you have? Does it work for you if you switch to english at the bottom of the page?

It does work (also text on the front page when choosing field of interest). I had no idea I was not on english, and I hadn't chosen Dutch - I'm not in Netherlands. I can not reset my answer though. If I choose "Back to start" followed by "Back to frontpage" and start over, I'm at step 3/7 again. Not sure if it's related, but I see the (otherwise great) introduction/tour every time I restart. Also, I can start matchin…

Only way I can reset it seems to be to delete all cookies.

Liking the questions, short and to the point. Great design and feel :)
