Interesting niche concept, but why did you choose to charge the individuals seeking jobs, rather than charging the business advertising the job?
The business model of most recruiting sites are that the customers are the guys with the jobs, seeking qualified candidates.
The business model of this site appears to be "selling the dream of adventure" to individuals. It's not really about selling job advertisements, or even jobs. It's about selling the dream, "even you can be an astronaut". To be able to sell the dream, you have to establish credibility that you can deliver. That's missing from the site as it is now.
Your thoughts?
- stronglikedan 12y agoIt seems to be a nominal fee to prevent dormant accounts from taking up resources, and ensure a pool of committed candidates. I'm sure they are charging job posters much more money, and those posters would have the confidence that their offers are reaching committed individuals. (mostly - aside from the 30 day trial users)
- wheresclark 12y agoYou're bang on the money. This was a very very very early stage test to see what people thought of the idea and if they valued it enough to pay $5. Round two of development will involve more work on the business model and adding the examples of job posts and credibility factor. Thanks for much for the feedback. It's invaluable.
