Hello,<p>I have decided to run with an idea and see where it goes. I'm an engineer and this year has been awful for job-seekers. To pay my bills, I'm offering a simple, informal, no-catch service to help other people in the same position. The website will explain in more detail.<p>Would absolutely love any and all feedback. :-)<p>https://neverapplyagain.com/
So you'll be an agent? I think this is a great idea. My major concern is this, " you'll pay me whatever you want when you accept an offer." There's nothing worse for a business relationship than unspecified financial terms. It will be bad for you and your clients. Pick a number, a percentage, something, and put it in writing up front.
I think that if your job search strategy begins with submitting applications -- so many applications that outsourcing that task makes sense -- you have the wrong strategy. This seems like polishing a turd, in other words.<p>A good recruiter (paid for by the employer) or agent (paid with a percentage of my gross) will have contacts and inside tracks (unadvertised positions) and reputation in the business domain or geographic area. A good recruiter or agent will bypass the "submit an application" online step altogether and get your resume/CV in front of the hiring manager and line up interviews.<p>Job seekers shouldn't have to pay to apply for jobs. I think most adults with some work experience understand that, and view any supposed agency or recruiter who does charge for applying as a scam. I'm not saying you're running a scam with neverapplyagain.com, but you're getting into a disreputable niche full of scammers.
So...you're a recruiter, except the applicant pays you instead of the company. And you're less well-connected than a company-paid recruiter. And you're not getting paid by anyone to find candidates for them.<p>Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but just trying to understand the service you're offering.
