Show HN: College2Startup delivers startup jobs to your inbox

This is classic chicken and egg problem. As a Startup who wants to post a job ad, I've no idea if you have enough students who are looking for job on your site, and is it worth paying $100/post. If you're starting now, then keep the job posting free or very minimal, so that you'll have more jobs posted. Once you reach students mass, then you can charge more to startups.

Welcome to the recruiting space, try not to go crazy :) To get your service started, using email as the main messaging medium is smart as you want to build up your candidate-base, so offering something (in this case, information and job leads) will help you win adopters. Charging on a per job posting basis is a difficult sell as there are literally thousands of others offering very similar services. Showing job-seeker numbers can help motivate the employer to go with you as can past success stories. I'd recommend focusing on achieving those before you start charging. Think about offerings above and beyond just job postings, those are a commodity.<p>I've been running CollegeJobConnect for the past year and be happy to chat with a fellow entrepreneur who is trying to make student recruiting better. This is a really, really difficult space to be a startup in, so as much as we can all help each other the closer we will be to bringing improvement.

PricePoint is key in any service. We started a similar service for The London Silicon Roundabout called TechStartupJobs and started at about £5 (about $8) to test market within our community of 1000+ tech individuals and companies. Once you prove value price can be adjusted. Didnt mean to preach but this is 101 Pricing Services that we mentor to our Startups (<a href="http://www.techstarthub.com/startup-mentoring/" rel="nofollow">http://www.techstarthub.com/startup-mentoring/</a>) Best of luck anyway!<p>Rgds Shawn Techmeetups

Great idea! Maybe I missed it, but how many people do you have subscribed to begin with? Perhaps that number isn't as high now, but that would be valuable information to display if it was something high enough to attract startups and sponsors.

Neat idea! Caught a small typo: next to the lock image on the homepage, it says "ever" in place of what I assume was supposed to say "never".<p>"We ever misuse or sell any information you give us."

Why isn't the email submit on the front page?

How does this compare to InternMatch?

How is this not automated ageism?

It's cool, but I wish there was a way to separate what jobs you want mail for. (different types of programming, marketing, seo, product management, there is a lot of variety.)
