Good question -- we're basically trying to fulfill the role of your recruiter, but at-scale. Auctions only last 14 days, so the turn around is really quick. After that, your profile is yanked from the site. We're only approving candidates who intend to switch jobs in the near future.

We offer a cash-back on our fee (which your recruiter probably doesn't) and we'll present you to a much wider pool of vetted, venture-funded companies than a single recruiter will. And because it's a competitive bidding environment, the offers you get should be the same or higher than you would get through the other process.
