Sounds cool, but where else will the job seekers come from? If it's just HN then this is like an email version of "Who's Hiring"?

Either way, I've submitted our open positions. Good luck. :)

Oh I didn't actually answer your question in my last post. At first we have to get our hands dirty to get the seekers to sign up for the list. Talk to people directly, ask for feedback in developer message boards etc. But if they like the convenience of the service it hopefully spreads.

Cool. I hope it works.

One more thing. Maybe we shouldn't focus on job seekers. Who else is there to focus on? Answer: People who have a job but want to have a better job. These people don't spend their time browsing job sites because they don't desperately need a job. But they may subscribe to our service because it requires no additional time.

Ours is a different approach that has some advantages and some drawbacks. As a job seeker, all you have to do is join the list and then you will get offers automatically. It's literally no work. But we don't know if it's gonna work. Depends much on your feedback.
