I was doing some work this past summer trying to extract good feature sets from job ads so users could train a neural network to help filter through ads.
I see there are a lot of sites that to do something for employers but its good to see someone else thinking of job seekers. Not much out there for us and I think an opportunity exists for someone that can optimize and organize the process with us in mind.
I have(/had) a project in this area as well, and I kept stumbling over the monetization problem-- job seekers are a population that has a strong disincentive to parting with their money.
NotchUp has an interesting play on this problem, though hard to say if they're getting any traction.
Obviously the employers and recruiters are the ones holding the money, so most solutions tend to cater to their dealflow needs.
Any other stakeholders with money that are part of this ecosystem? Or other monetization ideas?
Are there any affliate players in the job space? E.g. capitalizing on bounties/etc for successful hires/interviews?
There are several Job Alchemy above being one of them.
There's one in the UK (who's name I can't remember right now) which specializes in "referal" hiring, taking advantage of the fact many large employers give employee's significant bonuses for referred hires to essentially create a secondary market for recruitment based upon referal bonus payments.
