Cybercoders, Kforce, Randstad - all bottom feeder headhunters.

Actually, that's my #1 want in a job search site - the ability to filter out all ads that don't explicitly include the company name, the real client, not a headhunter.

We heard you. We'll try to attract direct employers and come up with a feature to eliminate staffing agencies from the results while keeping the interface as simple as possible.

We're still an early stage start-up and there are just to few jobs in our database.

That's the #1 hard part about a new job search website.

If you have no jobs, why would the candidates search there?

If you have no candidates, why would anyone post their jobs?

Surprisingly, I only get decent interviews from Craigslist. I tried a couple of others with zero conversion rate.

Agreed. By creating this thread, we were trying to attract both job seekers and recruiters/direct employers.
