Well, competition is inevitable. Although, since these guys are launching so soon after NotchUp’s big splash, I would guess they’ve been brewing this up for awhile now.

I think Notchup is trying to solve a bog problem in recruiting industry and thats about reaching out to passive job seekers “faster” usually employers waste significant amount of precisous time in reaching out to right candidates by trying to use job boards and otehr obvious sources of hiring. When they fail to get right profiles they go to professional hiring researcher and head hunters. Now headhunters will definately charge you significantly more (aroun 10-25%) of annual base package. If Notchup can get you some passive job seekers who fit in your position and can help you save significant time and money it makes a big sense. But…..how will they ensure that the recruiter who is using their wesite does not head hunt the candidate directly

My company, Leapways.com (http://www.leapways.com), is also focusing on Job and career market. The main difference we have from others is that it is 100% free of charge for both employers and job seekers.

We will be soon launching an Interview Service which is aimed at the hiring managers across corporate America. The idea is to take some pressure out of the hiring manager (who’s real job is not hiring). We will take the ownership of the filtering the candidates. In other words, our representatives will take the interview and certify a candidate.

Also, a candidate can take an interview in a technology area and get certified in advance. Those candidates will be listed as “Certified” in their profile.

Our interviews are real world technical architects, working in IT field for fore than 10 years. That makes a huge difference. “We will help you hire the RIGHT candidate” – That is our motto.

Rani

I have been looking to switch positions. I have a resume on all the websites and all I get is constant spam from recruiters even though I have checked direct employers only. Time will tell if NotchUp is any better or if it will be more of the same. Just like an employer wants to interview serious candidates, I like the model of employers paying a potential candidate to interview. It means they are serious about hiring and not just interviewing people and wasting your time. It is easy to show up with your “A” game when you are getting paid to interview.

TalentSpring (my company), JobFox, and ItzBig are three companies working on making hiring more efficient. Now NotchUp is also doing some interesting things in this space.

The first three are working on advanced ways to job seekers to their ideal job opening. And employers to their ideal job candidate.

TalentSpring goes beyond that to rank resumes within an industry. We do this to benefit Job Seekers by getting the attention of employees. Job seekers rank well in areas they are passionate about and where they have invested in their work experience and education.

Since job seekers will rank well in areas they are interested in, we can bring large numbers of employers back to that job seeker. Specifically, we email a wide range of employers of job types that the job seeker considers ideal. This way the job seeker wins because they have their ideal types of employers actively listening to them. (Ranking resumes gives us the power to accomplish this)

I tried 10 times to import my data from LinkedIn. The button seems to be gone now.

I agree – not letting people know in the first place is a bad idea, especially considering that this is one of their most highly-touted features. Of course, that’s not all that unusual these days, sadly.

I sent the following to Notchup’s tech support:
===================================
I’m a registered member and I’ve been trying more then a few times to import my profile (and contacts) from linkedin.
It always fail, and I receive the following error:

* We could not sign in to Linkedin with the below email and password
* Please check both fields and try again

I know that the login details are correct because I’m using them to enter Linkedin successfully.
Is there a problem with the import feature?
Can you please assist?
Thanks
==============================
The auto-reply I got from notchup
==============================
We appreciate your support of our beta program. If your message is
about the LinkedIn import profile/contacts features not working,
please know that we are working on it and plan to release a new
version soon. Thank you for your patience.

If your message is about a different subject, we will respond to you
as soon as possible.

Regards,
NotchUp Customer Support

===============================
Thinking out loud: why did notchup waste my time
letting me try over and over again to import my Linkedin
details, knowing it does not work? A simple note on their
web site will do. This dishonesty right at the beginning is
not a good sign. They of all should know that people’s
time is valuable.

Hold on a second, I thought you had to be hired before you get paid! In anycase they didn’t pay for a website design. I can’t believe they stole the design straight off of Grandcentral.com
