Forgive the defensive attitude here but 2 in 1000 venture backed startups will ever achieve $100-million or more in valuation. is a pretty poor example of "success". If my start-up made a difference to peoples lives and generated enough r

Is this common knowledge? Sounds like incredibly poor practice to sniff emails & address books without prior permission or at the very least, transparency.

Then your argument about hiring the right talent is moot. You went with what you could afford and were fortunate with the result however paying $50 for a logo on eLance isn't great advice for other startups.

Seriously? I worked for two different recruitment companies during my time as a recruiter. One had an operating revenue of just under $4billion dollars and the other over $6billion. That's 2 companies and they aren't even the largest. A qui

The question is why we should be expected to put up with it. You shouldn't and I'll never say otherwise. My original point is that moaning about it is pointless. This is one of the most innovative communities I'm aware of and despite the

Correct. I'm also one of the co-organisers of HN London, an event I attended religiously as a recruiter (mainly because of the free beer & pizza). I address the networking V cold calling approach in another comment above.

by Peroni 14y ago
Bottom line: Recruiters will piss of a lot of people in the process of cold-calling but the absolute reality is that they will place more candidates in 1 month of cold-calling than they would in 6 months of networking. Unfortunately, it r

by Peroni 14y ago
Absolutely right however that process takes forever. I gained most of my clients through those methods but some potential clients aren't always available through those methods.

A huge chunk of their revenue comes from selling access to the candidate database to recruiters specifically.

Yep. Valid point. Our site is 100% free for now and the topic of monetisation is one we are hammering to death on a daily basis. We have multiple concepts of what we feel might work and we're edging closer to a system that will make us an o

Thanks! I'd think candidates would be more willing to go to a site where they knew recruiters weren't posting We completely agree (obviously) and our analytics tend to confirm our theory. So far so good. As we roll out more features it wi

Manually. It's pretty obvious if you read our blog posts but occasionally a recruiter will slip in a listing. We get emailed every time there is a new post and if it's a recruiter post we manually remove them ASAP. The longest a recruiter j

If you're not going to show me qualified applicants without me signing a contract then you can't. Thats the point. A perfectly valid point. If it helps (it probably doesn't) the reasoning for this is generally straightforward: 1. Every re

Job listings are the MVP. Take a look at any of the major job boards. They are used by millions daily and turn over a very real profit. Problem the majority of them have is that they primarily cater to recruiters. We're taking a slightly di

Certainly a useful alternative but I can't imagine it will make a dent on the industry. Ultimately there are a huge number of companies that require average developers and can't be bothered to invest their own time into finding them so inst

Short answer: it's not viable. There are laws and liabilities to consider. Also, recruiters are essentially sales people. They need to have a degree of sales ability. You need to be able to sell the benefits of a job to a candidate and the

Here we go again with the recruiter bashing. I'm a former tech recruiter. A few of you know that already. I hear these recruiter rants more than most. Most of it is justified however it's all noise and no feasible solutions. That great litt

I have no experience with your target market so by all means take my feedback with a grain of salt. * I don't like the site. Visually it's far too basic and dated. * Your USP isn't immediately obvious. You need to be screaming from the roof

Usually I would agree 100%. This stuff reeks of scaremongering however given the source you would have to assume that the Complex Systems Institute wouldn't allow themselves to be susceptible to overfitting.
