Do you feel that any business that isn’t perfect is run incompetently?

Here’s another such site from 3 days ago on HN:

Search HN for jobs referrals bounties to find many more:

It’s an idea constantly being reinvented and failing.

Google jobs referral bounty maybe also startup you could also search the wayback machine

Not sure what more needs to be said.... just look back at this post when you shut down your attempt in the future. You can then assist others who might be steering themselves into the same rocks by warning them as I have done here.

What questions do you have? Others might be interested in the answers.

If your question is “maybe our twist is new/different/better?” Answer is no.

For the love of all that is sacred please no-one decide it would be a great startup idea to create a jobs site with bounties.

You might think it’s an opportunity because you don’t see anyone else doing it. That’s because people have been doing trying and failing at this exact concept for at least 15 years.

There’s a deep and wide startup graveyard dedicated specifically to job sites with bounties/referrals.

There, I just saved you years of pointless effort. Expend your energy money time relationships and life on something else.

Unless of course you think you’ll be doing it right/better/different/with a twist/with better timing etc. in which case you must understand you should go straight to the very very large section of that startup graveyard dedicated to those who were smarter than all the others who tried, then pour your money into the next open grave.
