Thanks for the grammar feedback, the site just launched 2 weeks ago, hope to make everything better. The matching is currently based on LinkedIn connections of yours. So, we hope Jobrupt to be used within some circles inside LinkedIn. If you have a match, we notify you through your email registered in your LinkedIn account. We don't particularly contact your selections, or connections.

If you have a match, we notify you through your email registered in your LinkedIn account. That's the part I'm struggling to understand. How will I ever get a match? Say I select Director A as someone I would be interested in being interviewed by. How would Director A ever find out? Surely Director A would need an "employer" account where they can select Potential Employee A as someone they would willingly interview?

  That's part of the 'Robin_Message's points here on this thread and it is a valid concern. We want to focus on small circles inside employment network, where your Director and you end up being there independently. Yes, the chances appear to be low, but we don't have a time limit. Just think you are running a Scala or Ruby development team, and regularly meet a lot of developers in conferences. You are a small group, and you are connected to each other. However you don't want to offer jobs explicitly. In such cases Jobrupt may help. It's our hope, and it is still an experiment.

    No. I'm afraid you are missing the point entirely. Let's use your example as context. I am running a Scala or Ruby development team and regularly meet a lot of developers in conferences. I meet an amazing Scala developer at a conference but he seems happy in his current job and I don't want to plead with him to join our company. Lets assume this amazing Scala developer subsequently signs up to your site and selects me as someone he would like to be interviewed by. I will never, ever find out that he's interested. Why? Using your current model, I, the hiring manager, would also have to select him as someone I want to be interviewed by. The chances of this happening aren't slim, they are literally zero. Hence my question on why you don't have a SEPARATE sign in for employers so that they can list people they would willingly interview. You have potentially created an amazing tool but it's only 50% complete.

      I finally got your point. It s a great idea indeed. Actually it was already part of the growth plan to target people with hiring powers. We were thinking of various ways to target people in hiring positions and get them here. Our options now include separate employer signups, thanks for the idea.
