Have you considered adding video profiles of applicants? There is a startup that Paul Graham interviewed that does exactly that. But I like your overall presentation more. Good luck!

Great work. There's so much space available helping companies managing their incoming data. This is a great start.

Though I haven't been through a hiring process in awhile, I'm surprised though that this doesn't have some kind of referral bonus/source tracking feature built into it. Seems like it'd be novel and useful.

Video profiles are a fast way to discrimination lawsuits.

Do you really have Levi in India signed up? If so that's awesome and congrats, and you should make that more prominent.

Nice work, and good luck. The recruiting market for software is a tough one.

We are using Jobvite for this which is way too expensive and a total pain in the ass.

If you are a rails app please make it so that the job page can be edited with Liquid. Also provide an API so that we could migrate.

Good luck, but man was I hoping for a way to somehow help us manage recruiters, mark spammers, etc.

I don't understand how there is "so much space available helping companies managine their incoming data". There's Resumator, JobVite, JobScore, Taleo, Brassring, OpenCATS, Healthcaresource, MaxHire, Vurv, (I can list 60 more if anyone would like.)

The point is, what need is this filling that isn't already filled? I wholly welcome better technologies to help employers - but I need to know what makes the technology better and their tour page doesn't ring any "innovative" bells for me.
