Really impressed by how quickly you've launched and the approach is brilliant. Makes perfect sense!
Particularly happy to see two YC start-ups this week launching products so useable that they're being used on Hacker News... and with British origins too! :D
Loving it so far. I tried Google a few years back and discarded it within weeks. I would write an article critical of some programming language X and especially critical of trying to program in X without experience, and the ads would be for "Learn X in 21 days."
I dropped it quickly. Even though Google ads produced clicks and revenue, they clashed with my weblog's basic philosophies. But in the trial so far, the Snaptalent ads are for the kinds of companies that seem to fit with my weblog's direction.
Great job guys. I've been working with Sumon, Jamie and Tim and getting snaptalent setup on my site over the last 2 weeks. I like advertising jobs over the crap adsense shows.
Great idea and everything and a job well done.
But considering the fact that approx 50% of the web still use IE your website loads funky under IE but works good under firefox.
Here how it looks under IE: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2272/2330400291_26417f384f_o....
I am a freelance website developer and have this obsession with checking new updtarts for browser compatibility. :)
You guys should also create a centralized listing of all jobs on SnapTalent on your destination site so that people can browse through more than those that appear on a given blog.
I got a 404 from the site when applying to a company (they were probably overloaded). A day later the cofounder contacted me apologizing and offering to send my resume directly. Awesome site.
Any thoughts on when you'll be available for non-US jobs? I'm currently working at a start-up in Germany and would love to be able to use the service to find people here.
