Cool new way of looking at hiring

1 points by fifa8a ↗ HN
Who here on hacker news doesn't need something like this in their life? What are they doing, I don't know! But I'm super excited about it.

This sounds like it's perfect for the startup that needs to hire talent or entrepreneur that get's leads all the time.

Funny "This Sounds" implies you stumbled across the site rather than being the creator (or creators mate). :-)

I don't get this. Is the point of it to recommend friends to a stranger?

When I recommend my friend for a job, it's to an employer that I know personally. I use email. It happens a few times a year, so I don't care to automate it. I can't imagine any other scenario in which I would recommend my friend for a job (partly because I'm not famous).

Also: you obviously created this. Just be genuine and tell us about it. Don't give us a bullshit ad.

I think the idea is if say you know John and Paul, who don't know each other. John is hiring, Paul is looking you can bring them together.

However I can't see it taking off for the reason than yes you can just email your friends. I mean if you know someone who is hiring and someone who is looking you are going to just phone or email them both if you are a nice friend anyway :-)
