Why even that? If an employer is interested in any individual wouldn't they just reach out and see if the interest is mutual? I think this execution is a fun o

  It definitely does not target to be a mainstream tool, but there are certain cases where you may be reserved to act. In addition to personality and cultural attitudes, your current position and your relationships with the people with whom you are interested may hinder you to make the first move. You may simply want to keep it discreet. Some example situations; you left your previous position and you want to come back, but are reserved to make the first move back to your previous boss. You are a well known programmer, and you are well connected to people, but you are reserved to make the first move. You want to hire your service provider, you want to hire your client, you want to hire a competitor etc. I accept that in majority of the cases employers and employers don't hesitate to make the first move, but I just try to contemplate some cases where Jobrupt may work. Finally this is just an experimental idea, and if it works for some people in some communities it will be worth the effort.

    Right, but in all of those scenarios the potential employer has no need to hesitate. Why wouldn't they reach out to potential hires to begin with (defeating the purpose of this site)? Again: really neat idea, and I think the execution is great too, but is it really needed?

      Mass recruiters and hiring managers wouldn't hesitate, but individuals running business units may want to keep it discreet. I believe it is needed for some situations..Time will show. Thanks for your comments.
