I created qChirp.com, a new job board for Tech Professionals. Not very original, but I think design, fair price, and simple search can help modify a cluttered industry - I'm an IT recruiter btw.

I have a few initial recruiters who have posted. However I feel that a job board must present several hundred jobs before gaining exponential traction - the traditional "chicken and egg problem".

There's several postings explaining how to buy/attract initial users. However I'd be hugely appreciative if someone has advice in regards to attracting recruiters. How does a job board reach critical max?

Advertising on Google Adwords? StumbleUpon? Strategic partnerships? Blogging?

Also if you want to visit QCHIRP.COM and rip it to shreds on quality, I'd love it. All criticism is helpful :)

Thx!!

It's a niche job board for SAP Consultants. I know the design isn't quite up-to-par and there can be additional features, but is it a viable MVP?

Any feedback is appreciated.

I finally built my first product with the help of a few friends. It's a classifieds network primarily for students and professionals in NYC. The goal isn't to make money, but to actually generate a spam free community - I don't run advertising and I don't plan on charging members. Paul Graham says to scratch your own itch... this is my attempt to do so.

Anyways I'm having a difficult time getting traction with the site. It's been up for a while and all the posts that are listed are from friends who did me a favor. I tried contacting recruiters about posting open positions, but nobody seems interested...

Is my site too derivative to Craigslist? Is there a function that should be included? I appreciate any and all feedback you guys have.
