I can understand your interest in leveraging-(monetarising) your successful blogs, but I wonder if we really need another attach your resume and mail it to the recruiter job board, they are so 1997.
I would have hoped for some more innovative from bloggers that have their pulse on Web 2.0.

Converting that to INR, a post will cost 90,000 (which is almost equal to Monster’s 3-month subscription fee, for umlimited posts!!)

Anywyas, Hereis a comparison of Techcrunch/GigaOm and Problogger job boards.

Michael Arrington’s idea makes some sense to me. Now all I see are two prominent bloggers with $200/pop job boards and little differentiation.

What is going to stop someone else from coming in with $150/pop or $100/pop job board?

More importantly, how long will either you or Arrington resist the temptation to drop your price and start a (ruinous) price war?

Sites like careerbuilder.com are so full of spam and scams. And a resume has such personal info in it, you really want to trust the website holding it.

I see lots of passion and ideas on the comments and a good number of readers seem to be VC/angel types. Instead of a fixed fee, maybe you could collect a finder’s percentage.

Even more useful would be a customized RSS feed, say “category=technical + keywords=mysql,php,linux,ruby”

It’s a good idea,

Neither of us will be successful unless we work together. And the community loses, too, because there are too many places to post jobs. I posted my thoughts here: http://www.crunchnotes.com/?p=263

Rob,
My 0.02 cents, this blog is by & for the “specialists”. Guys who have the fire, passion and who can’t sleep without tracking the latest happenings will peek at those jobs and companies want such developers :-)

keep up the good work(job) ;-)

They will go to TechCrunch. Should of listed them at $50/each instead. Good luck.
