Since it's Alpha you can get away with alpha explanations but as more and more ppl use it explanations might have to be "pitched around the office" and get them to "say" what JS is doing then write them down. I'm crappy at writing at the best of times but my stab would be:
FROM
JobSyndicate is our way of getting jobs
in front great candidates where they already
live online.
We can get targeted distribution for jobs
by combining our ad widget technology
with contingency recruiting “bounties.
TO
JobSyndicate is an online service that
matches the best candidate to their
geographic location.
JobSyndicate acheives targeted distribution
for jobs using a combination of our "Ad widget"
technology and "recruiting bounties".
Replace the quotes with hyperlinks (and bold typeface) for "Ad widget" and "recruiting bounties".
- LukeG 18y ago[geotargeting isn't live yet, but it's coming, btw] The idea of "putting jobs in front of candidates where they live online" is a fairly explicit pitch to HR managers & internal recruiters. HR folks are used to distinguishing between "active" and "passive" candidates. Active job seekers will, for example, apply to jobs at sites like Startuply and Craigslist (um in that order). Passive candidates - who are often the best - don't go job hunting, usually because they don't need to. JobSyndicate is for getting jobs to them without really changing their behavior; it's a premium service. For pitching around the office, I'd say that JS is kind of like an inverted job board. Employers post a job once, it syndicates everywhere, and they pay only for results. A pretty sweet startup CEO I spoke with also came up with the (very) unofficial elevator pitch analogy: it's like Adult Friend Finder for jobs.
