Ask HN: Review Labels.io

4 points·sigquit··4 comments

Just launched the public beta of Labels.io (http://labels.io), a jobs site that approaches online recruiting from a new perspective: instead of creating lengthy CVs, professionals define themselves with key attributes which are then matched in real time with jobs posted by employers.

The first three jobs are on the house so feel free to take it for a test drive!

Looking forward to your thoughts on it.

Have been building something similar, if you're at all interested in talking:

The LinkedIn URL here has no target: http://labels.io/mediademo

As far as I can tell it is a nice way of trying to find employees by matching them. I have not tried your system yet, but if it works like that it does sound interesting.

However there is a lot of competition in that space, so unless you have a real driving force behind marketing or really good reasons for companies to use your service it will be pretty tough.

Also do you support "Web presences" like stackoverflow? I can imagine that developers want to use that as resumes, too.

Will fix the LinkedIn URL. About stackoverflow/hresume - sure, what other web presences do you think we should have there?

Looks nice, drop me a line - octavian at labels.io
