It might sound like a dating site, but it’s not. RealMatch.com puts the hiring power back into the hands of the employer. Gosh, I love the internet!
If you’ve ever dealt with (or considered doing business with) a placement firm or online hiring website, you know how costly it can be. There’s a fee to place your opening or there’s a fee if you hire someone or there’s a fee for the fee. It’s nuts.
So it was coolio when I found out about RealMatch.com.
The deal is employers can post a job for free (nationwide or regional) and allow RealMatch’s “matching technology” to line up potential hires that are a good fit for the available position.
Employers can view the qualifications of applicants . . . for free. You read that right–for F-R-double-E!
Once an employer sees an applicant he or she wants to contact/interview, at that point the employer pays a minimal fee–like a paltry $40 to review three resumes. Schweet!
Gone are the days where employers have to follow a pay-per-post model. RealMatch.com is a stronger and better alternative to Monster.com. And once it becomes even more popular, it’ll be the clear solution for SMBs. Be an early adopter.

They should charge more then $40 considering careerbuilder and others charge $400. maybe they are keeping the barrier low for now but will raise the prices when they have a larger client base.

@David:
The whole POINT is for them NOT to be like CareerBuilder…or Monster…or Dice, etc.
There have been game changing companies launched by being disrupters in areas like business model, “doing the never” and pricing.
So, while they might increase their prices slightly, don’t be so quick to relegate them to a “conventional” model just because that’s the only model you can imagine working.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

I posted a few jobs and see the “Matches”. I’ll play with this a little, thanks for the tip.
