Paidinterviews is transforming the traditional recruiting model. Using PaidInterviews, candidates are better able to market themselves by building digital career profiles complete with videos, pictures and work samples. They can also network with other candidates and search the “Watercooler” to find employer ratings created by previous employees. Jobs are uniquely matched to candidates based on the way their ideal job is outlined. Once hired, a candidate is paid their “ask fee” as a success bonus.
We talked with PaidInterviews CEO Jim Weaver, about his business, business model, and the potential to disrupt the traditional recruiting model.
On the Calliflower Conference Call: Jim Weaver, Gillian Brouse, Bill Volk, Phil Wolff, Sheryl Breuker, Frank Abrams, Quinn Askeland, Greg McQuay, Sergio Meinardi, and Dan Rockwell.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
