    This looks almost identical to YorZ.com - and gets funding. I think I'll take a drupal install, head on to old blog posts and start something.

    Well, as Matt noted in that old blog post that I linked to, a lot of companies in the space sound pretty similar ...

    I am seeking a career opportunity and it is pretty amazing on how short sighted the entire search process has become today. The key point to note is this site is more focused on enabling communication versus a resume swap.

    In our world of technology we have lost sight of the importance of basic conversation. Those people who are in search of quality people must make and take the time to have a basic conversation to find the right people for their organizations.

    I have met with employees from both Bountyjobs and TalentHire. I remember the first time I chatted on the trade show floor with Boutyjobs in NY at Kennedy before they launched to compete with Talenthire. When I chat with the TalentHire team at industry events I just felt that they seem to be much more sincere and honest. I personally have questioned a few of the messages from the Bountyjob group at times. I have also heard many questions regarding mixed messages from recruiters that have dealt with them for over a year. Good Luck to them though. I hope that they use the money in a proper manner.

    Thomas, I agree with your comment. I recall meeting with a Scott from TH and he was very sincere. I'd also met with Jeremy from BJ and he seemed kind of sketchy. My reads could be wrong, but I've heard some not so positive things from folks that have used BJ. I like they don't charge an upfront fee, but 25% is stiff. TH on the other hand...it's a shame they are charging a subscription fee....there are simply not that many jobs on their site, so not worth it.

    We recently launched ActiveVendors.com (www.activevendors.com). While our business model is similar, our fees are much more rewarding to the recruiters. Come check us out. Right now, we are only accepting registrations from employers and the recruiters that they bring on and/or recommend. In a couple of months we will open up to all recruiting firms.
