Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciate you checking out the site. Offers are non-binding, and employers are not obligated to hire candidates. After employers make an offer to a candidate, they receive the candidate's full profile. Poachbox delivers employers a pool of vetted candidates, employed at venture-funded companies, with a unique set of skills. We believe companies will recognize the value.

As an employer, why would I want to limit my pool of candidates to those employed at venture-backed companies? What is that vetting for?

Venture-backed startups tend to hire lots of people, quicky, and there's limited diversity in roles. In my experience, that doesn't always produce great candidates, at least from the perspective of an employer looking to hire truly well-rounded candidates who don't believe they're entitled to $200,000/year because they worked on a spammy iOS app for a company that isn't likely to be in business in 2 years.
