Having started a job board before (orangeslyce.com), one recommendation I have is to pre-seed the board with jobs to help get over the chicken/egg problem. You can hustle analog and get some posts or even copy quality postings off other sites. Sure they won't be paying customers, but it's kindling for the fire and gives the appearance of social proof.

But it's a private job board - so developers can't see any job offers until they are signed up :) Anyway - it's really a problem - until know - there is only one job offer - from the launch (around two weeks).

37signals lets people browse jobs, but not see contact information, until they sign up/pay. A similar workflow might be a possibility here.

Seems good, Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check into that!
