Why is job search such a hot topic with start-ups these days? Maybe I'm just not creative, but I don't see what urgent need should be there.
In general you just need a blackboard with contact data and short descriptions. Improvements are not needing to send your CV because the employers can just see it in your profile (feature is already there, at least in some). then searching, filtering and notifications are nice, so that you don't have to manually scan all offers. We also have that. Actual job matching is not possible, because descriptions aren't that detailed, CVs aren't that detailed and both job and applicant change in the timeframe of a usual hire too much. But we also have that, manual through head hunters and probably also automatic.
So, I can't find an urgent need. The market is more than full with job boards. And actually even big companies don't like to pay for these services if it's not about a key position.
