There has been much discussion lately on HN regarding new models to improve recruiting.

We are officially throwing our hat into the ring with Betacave.com and would love your feedback.

We are still pre-launch so currently gauging interest (which has been great so far).

After showing it to a few developers last week, this is what one had to say:

Dan! You're my new man crush! This is such a great idea! I THINK IT EVEN DESERVES SOME ALL-CAPS ACTION. YEAH, IT'S THAT GOOD!

Let us know if you agree/disagree. We hope to become a valuable asset to your long term career goals and the platform of choice for companies to hire the right talent. We have also begun talking to great companies who want to be a part of this. If you work for one, get in contact with us asap to become a launch partner.

Our quick pitch: Recruiting sucks on both sides. Betacave.com is a new, private way for talented professionals to connect with amazing companies. Sign up for free at http://betacave.com to get in pre-launch either as a talented professional or an amazing company.

I posted more details on my blog: http://dannydo.es/betacave if you want to read more.


hey, I entered my email, I try to press 'get invited' and nothing happens.

firebug log: http://dpaste.com/806325/


hmm. its working for me. sometimes it takes a second to respond which I need to improve but should go to a new page. can you use the contact us form on page and let me know your setup?

Edit: thanks for sharing debug. looks like geoplugin didn't load for you. will investigate.


no problem. setup: ff15@debian


i will try to implement a workaround if that script doesn't load, but seems to be loading for me everytime. Let me know if still an issue after refresh or if anyone else experiences similar.


still nothing http://dpaste.com/806347/ you can drop me an email if you need more feedback, so we don't pollute this thread
