StartupAgents.com - Job Network for Startups
Working for an Internet startup requires a different skill set and mindset than employment at a large or established company does. StartupAgents.
com is a new job network that aims to connect startups with quality employees who can help their startup take off. The site focuses on the software, hardware, life sciences, nanotechnology, and green/clean technology sectors. Both companies and ‘agents’ (job seekers) can register detailed profiles on the site, and at the moment, companies can contact agents, but not the other way around. Registration is free, but companies pay a monthly subscription fee to contact agents. However, during the current beta testing period, the monthly subscription fee is waived. The startups are generally private companies less than five years old, have less than 100 employees, and offer employees equity as compensation. Agents pay nothing to use StartupAgents.com, and can even communicate with other agents to learn about potential employers or ask questions any other topic.
Startupagents.com/ In their own words
"StartupAgents is a matching service dedicated to helping startup companies worldwide find the talent they need to build next generation products and services… Our mission is to help startup companies change the world by connecting teams and talent."
Why Startupagents.com/ might be a killer
Larger job sites like Monster, CareerBuilder, or even Craigslist can be so big and general that it is hard for employers and job seekers to connect. Startup companies and the type of worker who seeks employment at one could both benefit from the focus of this niche job site. Since it is free for ‘agents,’ they really have no reason not to register, and for a company, finding a quality, qualified employee would certainly be worth the small monthly subscription fee.
Some questions about Startupagents.com/
Since startups tend to have fairly few employees, will many companies bother to maintain a subscription to StartupAgents over time, or will they simply sign up for a month or two while they are looking to hire, then cancel their subscription as soon as they’ve filled the openings? If this occurs much, and if the site stays ad-free, will StartupAgents generate enough income to really take off?
