I love the idea of this. I'm trying to find a new job right now and it's a pain trying to stay somewhat anonymous while searching.

What I don't like about your approach is the fact that the entire experience of applying/signing up to be poached feels half-assed.

You guys didn't make your own form and the embedded version doesn't really match the rest of the site and looks just thrown together.

There's horrible design inconsistencies (serif fonts mixed in with sans-serif fonts on the same line, and no.. it's not design).

This feels like a badly done DeveloperAuction/Hired clone with an anonymous aspect.

Why make prospective employers apply? It feels like a better experience for both parties would just be a listing of candidates, their skills, their location, etc with the ability to start up a conversation (via email or private message or something). If the guy gets hired, he can remove his posting.

Thanks for the great feedback. We're working really hard to make the site beautiful and useful to our users. We're currently bootstrapping and working as fast as we can. We want to make sure candidates get to work for great companies and employers get to hire great talent. All employers and companies are vetted to ensure this. This is why we require companies to apply. Also to make sure candidate info is not seen by their current employer. Thanks again so much for your feedback.

So what's different from you guys and Hired/Developer auction other than the 'anonymous' aspect?
