Don’t shoot us for the staffing agencies, please. We’re very well aware that nobody likes them. On the back-end we have everything to eliminate them from the search results. We cannot implement this functionality on the front-end yet for various reasons.
Job seekers, we are sympathetic with all of you and are committed to making your lives easier. For example, you won’t see “great” stealth mode start-ups or established companies that are too “shy” to disclose their name. We require all job posters to publish their company name. Thus, no confidential or anonymous companies; you will know who you’re sending your resume to.
As well, we realize that employers need to be educated. Eventually we’re going to fix the problem with employers not posting pay rate, posting junk ads, programming assignments, tests and insane interviews and we may go as far as outlawing third-party agencies.
At this stage we’re still in start-up mode and cannot be picky as far as job posters are concerned but our ultimate goals are above. Please, take a look at our site and apply for a job if you need one. And we would appreciate technical feedback again, especially how our site looks on tiny and huge screens.
UK and Canadian employers, we’re giving free jobs to promote our business in your countries. Please, sign up and we’ll give you as many free jobs as you want. There’s nothing to lose. Worst case - you’ll waste a bit of your time. Best case - you’ll get a couple of resumes. We have traffic from these countries.

Thank you for all your feedback again! You were not harsh at all and I can't help but agree with you. We'll try to improve it on the front end and back end and if we make enough money, we'll hire a professional designer.
In most places $140K is about the ceiling. In NYC it's not. Plus finances pay bonuses.
Furthermore, what does it mean to be good? If you're smarter than your interviewer or know more, they'll reject you. In general, I would say selling yourself has nothing to do with your programming skills.
My partner has exactly the same thoughts. The market is indeed extremely saturated and there's huge money in it. However, I haven't seen good websites (in my opinion, that is) without all that clutter and visual noise.
Our focus is more on simplicity and we don't want you to spend hours on our site. Instead, we want you to quickly find a job, send your resume and move on. When you need a job, of course.
We too discussed the problem you suggested. That, however, imposes an additional burden on job seekers. Think about it. Interviews used to be 50 minutes long with one interviewer. Now we have phone screens in addition to face-to-face interviews, tests, job seekers have to fill out forms with hundreds of fields, meet with a bunch of interviewers, post JSON objects to URLs and other "clever" things.
This is not normal and we want to change that. I wonder if anyone else has given a thought to the whole situation.
Anyway, it's not our final decision and right now we just don't have the capacity for all extra stuff.
Sorry to disappoint you and thank you for an upvote!
By creating this thread, we were raising awareness among job seekers _and_ recruiters/direct employers (not just job seekers) but right now it's too early to judge.
A couple of direct employers signed up yesterday and we all can help each other by telling our employers about this site. Yeah, I know I need it more than you.
That's the problem. Most recruiters stuff every keyword they're aware of into their job ads and raise salaries to get resumes but 180K in NYC is definitely not the limit.
I know that man, though he never placed me. He has jobs in HFT field and financial industry in general.
As well, you may get "false hits" (note the quotes) because recruiters stuff every keyword they're aware of into their job ads. Even if it has nothing to do with the job itself, :-(. We just don't highlight them (yet).
We heard you. We'll try to attract direct employers and come up with a feature to eliminate staffing agencies from the results while keeping the interface as simple as possible.
We're still an early stage start-up and there are just to few jobs in our database.
Our website is intentionally simple. Please, follow this link to learn more about us:
