Search Startup Jobs - final few hours - Gratitude Launch Day update

@robert_sutton1 Hey Paul! Thans for the question. So my day job, I have 8+ years of JOb board experience, Partnership/Sales etc. So, I had a challenge kind of chicken nd egg. I wont get seekers w/o jobs and companies wont pay me for 0 applicants. The EASYYYY way if this was a targeted niche board would be to get Indeed, Talroo, talent.com publisher accounts and get paid for backill jobs to get candidates and build that way. me being the nut case I am - I knew that wouldnt work I only want startups/ companies who were and are 8 years in and funded tech. INdeed has no filter. So to get proof of concept I have been manually adding Companies/Employers and their jobs. I have used my sales experience to prospect into a beneficial company for the demographic and I contorl the accounts for now. I am working on backfilling with scrapes to help me...but For now i want to build a relationship between candidate and mostly founders doing this hiring. Once I get a lead...directly to me no click traffic away just yet, or to a email i could find onlnie I hand delivery via email intro with the applicant profile...It will be 6-8 months before i have someone WANT to pay me, but thats fine If i cand eliver high quality Founding member, VP and developer applicants and 1 gets hired boom, then its hard not to include me/us in the recruiting pie. I am working ont he side to autmoate this all, but I wanted to share with you and this lovely community how all in I am as a non-tech founder to do the unscaleable things to build this beautiful community of Startup companies and candidates.

@dgmay310 Thank you for the explanation! I am currently facing a chicken and egg/cold start problem and was wondering how you overcame yours. Very impressive!

@robert_sutton1 I would be so happy to help if I can. Me as a sales and GTM strategy expert I knew I would need to get my hands dirty and pound the pavement. Smile and dial..well in this case smile and manually add to my database...for most technical founders I can see my strngth as their weakness and vice versa, so most may try to code or dev their way out of it...but from 12+ years of relationship building it wont matter how pretty for either side in the marketplace if you cant tell your story and connect with people it will be a struggle..I most definitely would love to help if/where I can

@dgmay310 Thank you! You definitely have valuable experience coming from sales and marketing. I am building a platform called RealNurse that lets nurses rate their hospitals and submit compensation data. I am trying to figure out how to get a sufficient number of nurses to review their hospital up front so it becomes attractive enough for other nurses to visit the website. Let me know if you have any thoughts, and thank you in advance!

@upen946 thank you so much. after yesterday the love, feedback and support has stoke the fire to build more. Happy to have you along for the Journey
