Something to write about
August 24, 2007
Many investors are telling me that there are already existing job portals and its a saturated market. I have heard them say that when people are happy with existing ones then why build a new one. But i beg to differ on this…there are many job portals but all of them give you 10000’s of pages of irrelevant ones, they are costly for job posters, are based on simple post and get the inbox filled model.
The features I am offering is a bit different compared to the existing ones
#1] Jobs are shown to people who qualify along with the color coding of how well they are a fit for that job posting…Cold/Mild/Warm/Hot/Spicy
#2] Applicants who see these jobs can click to apply, no monkey business of spamming the inbox of the job poster.
#3] Job posters can look at the list of all the applicants and the % match. This way they can start interviewing people who have best match and move downwards in the list before they make a decision to hire.
#4] Job posters can pre-screen candidates by posting questionaire type posts, the candidates will respond to these. Then depending on this response, the posters can proceed further to interview and hire the right candidate.
#5] All job portals provide a way to post the jobs and for job seekers to post their resume and search for posted jobs. But in our model, we provide assistance beyond that in re-location, provide grocery coupons when they move to the new place, provide deals on housing etc.
#6] Provide a new Advertisement model which is beneficial for advertisers…its easy to create and one can save thousands on creative Ad agencies, it helps educate the users rather than a dumb banner or google ads. So the companies can get their worth and satisfaction. This model will be useful for small, home based business.
plus there are many more…..so after reading these do you think ours is the same model as others?
