The most promising career opportunities are those in which you have an inside connection that can help you get your foot in the door (or get your resume to the top of the stack). CareerSonar makes it easy to discover these opportunities in your social and professional networks, without having to manually cross check hundreds of job listings against your contact lists (not to mention your 2nd connections). Those who are employed use CareerSonar to keep on top of the best opportunities out there for them (because everyone is curious). Our ranking algorithm is patent pending, and we like to think that it gives results that are much more relevant than anything else out there.

We just entered private beta and would love to get some feedback. Thanks!

As someone who was a job seeker for months, I found most success using LinkedIn. So to have a site that takes the fundamentals behind optimizing your network one step further seems really appealing. The only thing people may have trouble with is mixing business with personal.

That's great feedback Chelsea - we're not mixing really since your activity is 100% confidential (no one sees it) - we're just giving you the tools to see which jobs your social connections can help you get (your friends and family are even more likely to recommend you than a random contact).

By the way, we also let you connect with LinkedIn so you can add that layer as well - and we fill the gap between Facebook and LinkedIn - you may be connected to a friend on Facebook that's connected to a potential reference on LinkedIn - we bridge networks to let you uncover those.
