This board is only for job postings … not resumes.  (When someone produces a great niche board for resume mining, give me a call.  That would be really something.)

So far, Joel’s on the right track … He wants to keep the quality of employers high.  I’m not sure if he’s going about it the right way (we’ll see) but he’s charging a job posting fee (which most boards do anyway), requiring all postings to reveal the first party employer’s name (which doesn’t necessarily keep 3rd party recruiters away), and incorporating your company’s answer to the Joel Test into the job posting.  (Hmmm … do you think corporate recruiters actually know the answer to those questions?!) ;-)

The best part is the 90 days, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee:

If you don't find anyone, you can have your money back. If you find someone but they quit to join the Bolshoi you can have your money back. If you get a bunch of lousy resumes, you can have your money back.

Nothing to lose!  If you’re a hiring manager eager for additional candidate flow, head on over to Joel’s board and give it a go.  And jobseekers, I wonder if the jobs there are any different than the ones you find via vertical search engines like indeed, simplyhired, or jobster.  Let us know what you think!
