Awesome—thanks for joining! We’re still early in our development, so you might run into a few bugs. If you do, you can let me know directly (karj@smashlab.com), or by using the Intercom link in the bottom left corner. We have a long list of issues to address, and things to improve. That said, we’ve already fixed a lot in the first couple of months of testing. Another note: traffic is still pretty low on the site, as we’re so new. I’m working on fixing this, by starting to promote the service a little. That said, in the interim, it’s good to promote your sessions actively, as that’s where you’ll likely receive the most interest. I wrote more about this, here: http://blog.officehours.io/how-to-promote-your-officehours/ http://blog.officehours.io/how-to-promote-your-officehours/

  First and foremost: Good luck at your new (ad)venture! I wish you wholeheartedly success and prosperity! Out of pure cat-level curiosity, is there a business model behind this idea?

    Thanks! We’re sure excited about this one. There are only two of us, and we’re bootstrapped, so we don’t need a whole lot of money. This is good, as it allows us some freedom to just build the service and concentrate on making it good. That said, we think there are a few ways to make monkey from it. The very first is to start selling job postings. These can be segmented by category. Plus, the same recruiters can use Officehours to do preliminary interviews, or talk about the opportunity, with prospective candidates. After that, we’ll start to build out a batch of other added features that will be sold as premium services. But, for now, I think we just need to concentrate on making sure that sessions are as successful as possible.
