Exactly. With no knowledge of who my information is going to I can't agree to submit an application. Privacy is one reason; not having your time wasted if the companies aren't something you're interested in is another.
It takes, like, 2 minutes to fill out the form so you wouldn't be wasting much time on that side.
That being said, I'm assuming you'll be told what company is interested in you (if any) when/if they make contact rather than the usual recruiter nonsense ie. "A company in the financial services space" etc etc
It's the follow up communication that could waste time. I would prefer to do a little research on each company before applying to a dozen of them at once, or to see that the companies listed are known and trustworthy.
Those are great pieces of feedback. We're definitely add this.
This is version 1.0 - just wanted to see how many people would be interested in something like this.
That's sort of a non-solution. Perhaps add a field that asks "which startups would you not like to share your information with?"
This way, you keep your site single-blind (to keep people from skipping using your service) and if a company happened to be in the list, the person could still use your service (just hiding his/her info from that party).
