Nice UI, but you lost my focus after filling out the initial questions with the:

"I have read the terms and conditions of membership and the privacy policy and agree with the content."

I clicked on one of the embedded links, such as the terms and I lost the page I was looking at. Pressing back then reset everything. However, if I click the logo it looks like its restored. I'd say open in new window or have a dialog.

I'm able to choose my location once I type it in, but when I click it just goes back to the loading... message. I can't get it to load and it won't let me continue otherwise.

Oh, I just noticed that it was listed a second time in the drop-down and when I choose the lower one it worked. Yay, now I get to explore the website!

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…

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 v…

I'd add Mozilla Persona, it's very easy to do.
