Create a custom interview questionnaire on our webapp, and include the link for your candidates to take that interview (w/ webcam through browser) as part of your posting on these various job boards. We aim to solve the problem of having to sort to 'thousands of the resumes of the worst type'. Save time, get a better understanding of your candidates (on video), and collaborate on judging candidates with you extended hiring team.
Sorry for the gratitude plug, but I hope it's a relevant and useful answer. Hit us up on twitter and we'll give you the HN discount :) @activeinterview
I'm basically trying to solve the problem of thousands of unqualified resumes by using a social hack, by only allowing companies which have rigorous hiring policies to advertise. Hopefully that'll put off the mediocre developers from even bothering with my site.
If anyone has suggestions for how to make a better developer job board then I'd love to hear them.
I think we're going to try the HN consultants list first, then look at the SO job board. I want to hire someone as a consultant first, to get the feel of how they work, then increase their hours / usage as needed.
It's not really glorified recruiting as it much personnel asset analysis. It goes beyond recommending job candidates to helping the company make strategic use of their capital to use a better strategy in their entire hiring strategy.
Check my profile for an email, I'll outline my suggestions for startup recruiting.
