The site was inspired by iwannaworkatinstagram.com. I want to build a recruiting tool that makes it easier for people to get hired by companies that they're really passionate about working for. Check the blog at <a href="http://www.hustlebee.posterous.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.hustlebee.posterous.com</a> for more on my journey and where I'd like to go with this.
To be brutally honest, your product makes no sense to me and I have reservations about the problem it is solving actually being a problem.<p>It's defining hook, that people using it must accept any job offer, is outlandish. On further inspection I can use Hustlebee to submit applications to multiple companies. Doesn't that make the promise of more dedicated employee leads empty? Why doesn't it at least check the email address to allow only one submission?<p>If you decide to go back to the drawing board you need to re-examine your views of the job market. There are many more potential employees than there are employers, that is why people apply for multiple jobs at the same time. It really isn't that big of a deal to a company when they extend and offer and it is turned down. Essentially, you are solving the wrong side of the problem here.
I'd love to hear more about the trials and tribulations of mvp'ing your product as a non-technical founder... and it would be cool to see some background as just how non-technical you are :)<p>One small suggestion: You have a required field that's only has one checkbox option. This is weird to me from a UX point of view. It's also a weird question. I think what you're trying to do is find out if the user is serious about their application or not...
Have you talked with anyone of the companies on your site about whether the problem your site solves is in fact a problem for them?<p>If not, and you are still committed to finding product-market fit, perhaps their feedback would be helpful as you refocus on a different problem.
So what happens if this takes off and you get 10 / 100 / 1000 seekers for a job at X?<p>Is it on Hustlebee to pre-qualify? Are you now a technical recruiter taking some % of the annual salary for the first 6/12 months?<p>Why is hustlebee better than applying directly?<p>You only place designers/engineers? Even if the company has other openings?<p>Can you have a page that shows all the opening from that drop-down of companies in one place?
