Ok, thanks! Let's stop.

Thank you for all your feedback again! You were not harsh at all and I can't help but agree with you. We'll try to improve it on the front end and back end and if we make enough money, we'll hire a professional designer.

I agree with you. There are many problems with staffing agencies and this is one of them.

In most places $140K is about the ceiling. In NYC it's not. Plus finances pay bonuses. Furthermore, what does it mean to be good? If you're smarter than your interviewer or know more, they'll reject you. In general, I would s

Do you get actual offers or do you get asked to interview with them? There's a difference. Yeah, a lot of my co-workers including myself don't like it because we're helping the rich get richer plus associated consequences.

Thank you for your feedback! My partner has exactly the same thoughts. The market is indeed extremely saturated and there's huge money in it. However, I haven't seen good websites (in my opinion, that is) without all that clutter

Why do you want to move out of academia? Get a tenure and you'll be doing your research plus you'll secure a job for the rest of your life.

Sorry to disappoint you and thank you for an upvote! By creating this thread, we were raising awareness among job seekers _and_ recruiters/direct employers (not just job seekers) but right now it's too early to judge. A couple of

Here's what I find amazing. Nobody seems to like staffing agencies. Yet there are plenty of them, they have lots of jobs and employees. Mystery.

by programmer01 11y ago
Will do. By the way, we all can help each other if we tell our employers about this site (yeah, I know I need it more than you). Yesterday a couple of direct employers signed so hopefully we'll have more jobs but don't expect a lo

Still, financial industry has lots of high paying jobs as well as bonuses to neglect it. Would you resist making 140K on a base full-time? Keep in mind benefits and bonuses too.
19.
by programmer01 11y ago
Agreed. By creating this thread, we were trying to attract both job seekers and recruiters/direct employers.

Sorry, didn't mean any offense. I meant it as an old-fashioned way of saying "good friend", etc.

That's the problem. Most recruiters stuff every keyword they're aware of into their job ads and raise salaries to get resumes but 180K in NYC is definitely not the limit. I know that man, though he never placed me. He has jobs in

As well, you may get "false hits" (note the quotes) because recruiters stuff every keyword they're aware of into their job ads. Even if it has nothing to do with the job itself, :-(. We just don't highlight them (yet).

Unfortunately I don't know how to help you. If you're in academia, maybe you should check various colleges and universities' websites?

by programmer01 11y ago
We heard you. We'll try to attract direct employers and come up with a feature to eliminate staffing agencies from the results while keeping the interface as simple as possible. We're still an early stage start-up and there are ju

Gents, it's in the subject. We're a new site and to be honest, it is difficult to attract and satisfy both job seekers and recruiters. We'll do our best to attract direct employers!

Michael, we'll do our best to attract direct employers to our site. To be honest, it is difficult to attract (and satisfy) both job seekers and employers. We're still an early stage start-up.

I understand you very well. We're from NYC and most jobs here are in the financial industry. They pay really well but it's hard to go through all those staffing firms and, later, interviews. My co-worker says "there's li

I wonder how fast it'll be when (hopefully) we have more jobs in the database. Just curious to know. And a great catch! The search is not perfect yet. False hits are returned if a city name occurs within a job description itself. For e

mrmondo, you've got a perfectly valid point! The website was developed by C++ developers. We can write CSS but modern web UI isn't our strength, :-(. And thank you for your input too!

What is it called? We chose to use full state names rather than the abbreviations, i.e. "New Jersey" rather than "NJ." That's why "District of Columbia" rather than "DC." Right now at least one k
