Nice looking site and congratulations on your launch!
The only problem I can see is that nobody will pay to join a job site until there are lots of jobs available, yet companies won't go out of their way to post jobs on your site until you have a large pool of candidates who will apply for the work they post. Consequently, I'm worried that, by charging people right away, you're going to end up stifling your site's growth.
What if you adopted a model whereby everybody gets a basic profile and can apply for x jobs a month? Subscribers get better profiles and can apply for unlimited jobs. I know it sounds a lot like other incumbents in the space, but I think that model works for sites like this.
- anovikov 13y agoNope, it is a Very Good idea to charge to join a job site. That allows to avoid sinking in a flood of spam applications from people from ugg... 'low-cost destinations' which kills most job sites. I'd even charge more, when the customer will see a site where they don't have to look through endless and endless pages of outright spam, they will flock in. After all, there is too much free stuff on the internet now. With current bandwidth and server costs, a few bucks can go a long way, and if that makes a huge added value by itself, why not?
