Thanks!

I think there's a real opportunity here for someone who can do this well. The current system works okay when you're just looking for a warm body with something dreary and obvious like "15 years of Java". But it's terrible for trying to match people who just f*cking love technology (and have the corresponding broad and idiosyncratic skillsets) to matching opportunities.

Oh, I think so too. For a while that was what I wanted to work on, except that I figured Whitetruffle were too good to compete with.

One critical part of a business like that is connections with the recruiting industry, because you're essentially asking employers to let you serve as their recruiter, and you need to build trust. You can't just build the site and wait for people to come. Whitetruffle got that part right: their founder is a former recruiter.
