I wrote about our just-launched CrunchBoard job site over at TechCrunch today. Lots of chatter on the blogosphere about it as well – See Rafe Needleman, Scott Beale, Brian Oberkirch, Frank Gruber, Nik Cubrilovic , Oliver Starr, PostBubble, Supr.c.ilio.us, Phil Bogle, Eric Allam, David Guillocheau and others. I appreciate all of the support from everyone.

Brilliant.
I’m glad you appreciate our support.
We’re still waiting on a snark pass to the party, though – http://supr.c.ilio.us/blog/2006/07/22/big-annoucement-from-techcrunch/
Great Idea. A no brainer.
However charging for it, right from the get go, was a gigantic strategic mistake. Job boards are classic chicken or the egg models, and therefore getting critical mass is key.
Since this job boad is not your only gig why the rush to make a buck? Let the thing grow a little, and then charge. If it was free youd have 100X the postings rigth now (my company included).
Matt – Two reasons. First, the network solves the chicken and egg problem. Second, free=massive spam.
Wouldnt the spam problem be solved by a nominal $5 fee? $200 is more expensive then most job boards. Maybe its just me but im not paying $200 til i am confident the job board is getting the kind of traffic that makes it worth it. This is why sites like Monster and Jobster can justify the price. Im sure you will eventualy get there, but im not funding the experiment to see if it does.
I have to agree with Matt…$200 for a 30 day posting on such a young site is not something that’s easily justifiable to your Accounting Department. Even Gawker charges $30 bucks for a 30 day posting.
