You shouldn't create a poll for it, because all those reasons somehow overlap.
My biggest reason is the "if I build it, they may not come".
I have plenty others like:
I really don't want a snake/VC on my back
I couldn't afford to pay employees without VC cash
I'll need to generate money before bringing someone onboard
A 1 man team takes all other factors of failure and multiplies those factors by 100/1000
- mrfusion 13y agoDo you have some good ideas that you think might be sucessful?
- phantom_oracle 13y agoIn our minds, I'm sure we'd all like to think so, but metrics, customer needs and a whole lot of other external factors (especially luck) determine success. Are you working on anything interesting?
- mrfusion 13y agoI have a lot of ideas but no real way to know if they're good or not. One idea I had a few days ago: I call "curated recruiters". Job seekers could log in and get a short list of good recruiters in their location. In exchange for getting the list they have to provide the site with the best recruiter they've ever worked with so that the information stays current. Employers could also use it to find good recruiters to work with.
- phantom_oracle 13y agoThat's not a bad idea at all. I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but it seems like recruiters exist in most countries and they definitely dominate jobs boards these days (from what I've seen). I personally don't think it would work as a service on its own, but may be better as a piece of something bigger. If you'd like, we could chat privately about ideas and getting to know each other.
