We had a lot of luck sourcing candidates at career fairs from local universities, actually. They usually will head to the campus career center prior to contacting recruiting companies, but you can get hundreds of candidates (including double-digit good ones) for less than $500-1000. The signal-to-noise ratio we saw was also much, much better than you normally get from online services.

This doesn't scale well for middleware like the parent product, but it's a decent option for companies who are trying to attract talent.

Oh yes, that's one of our techniques for finding graduates.

I was just wondering about how this job board was going to do it, as "who will see this" is the key question for someone considering posting a job on it.
