Thank you for clarifying it. I agree everything hasn't been fully thought out, and there's lots of questions that needs to be answered. This is why we welcome any feedback people may have as it will help us clarify things.

Thank you for your feedback!

Recruitly is a community that helps its members code better. It does this by helping managers to pair with other developers and by having members rate each other.

Given your confusion, how would you rephrase the headline "Evaluate Code To Get Paid" to reflect this?

Thanks

As for "generic looking, templated landing page with no product to actually see." We actually built the landing page from the ground up. but we recognize there's room for improvement.

In our landing page, at the bottom right there is a little widget called "feedback" if you click on it you can not only comment but draw specific areas you have concerns with, or leave your specific concerns here, whichever is easier.

Any feedback is of tremendous value.

Thanks for your comment.

I would be more than happy to share with you my mail chimp mailing list, but out of respect and privacy for the user I will not. I am not trying to sell, and quite frankly i have little to gain in selling "this idea" to anybody.

There's lots to be learned here today, and we are ready to adjust because as you know this startup world is all about learning. When we do have the product up and running, i'll make sure that our server are ready to accommodate an unexpected, and large amount of traffic.

However, before even getting to that stage we have learned that we need to communicate better, and will use many comments here to refine our idea, our approach, and the way we convey it to the public.

Hi Elliot,

Thanks for your comment.

Receiving honest and brutal feedback is the only way we're going to move this thing forward.

I made this post long before many of those comments and as a response to the significant amount of people who kindly decided to join our mailing list, resulting in our site shutting down multiple time due to an unprecedented level of traffic.

Please try the blog post link again. If not try it later tonight or tomorrow. We will evaluate later on today what's the best step to take as a team, and this after taking all of the comments into consideration.

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to address them.

Best, Jonathan Etienne

CEO of Recruitly.co

I'm sorry. I should have known better or/and taking the time to read the rules.

However, like delinka says this is an invitation to a private beta, where our beta MVP is sent out to a select users we screen. Hence, the landing page will remain until we open our MVP to the public. In any case, many who signup to the mailing list now will gain access to an early version real soon.

Listen, I am terrible marketer so like Thomas Edison it will be probably take 10,000 iteration before I get it right.

Kindly have another look at it, and provide any feedback you may have because communication is my weakness.
