i agree with domenic_s. you can replicate the model for your teams which might be as large as a company. honestly i shared what worked for me. even if this benefits one person, i will be happy.

If you can be an accredited investor, go on angellist and you can start investing as low as $1000 in startups. Another site which is going to launch after the crowfunding law is passed in January is Wefunder which will be open for everyone.

I personally think its completely stupid to add a hiring CTA mainly because it takes away from your main CTA which is to convert the visitor into a customer. But if it doesn't hurt your funnel then there's no harm of adding it.
