Great job on providing site for free for those posting jobs.

However how do you verify if the jobs or companies are legit?

The problem with companies posting jobs for free is that, it may attract companies who don't really value the developer's work, both in effort and monetary compensation. I have seen a lot of companies like that and companies that are legit and who really value developers don't really mind paying a fee to get good developers.



I don't really have a fool proof way yet. I do approve all the job postings before they go out. I think it might be hard to profile job posters because a lot of them are probably going to be first time posters.


I totally understand as you would need to somehow attract job postings to bring more developers to the site (or vice versa). I guess once the site picks up, and both companies and freelancers see the value, then you can come up with a way to verify jobs. Best of luck.
