Comments on: Jeff Atwood of Borg-StackOverflow Careers Assimilation http://blogs.6bit.com/josh/2009/12/jeff-atwood-of-borg-stackoverflow-careers-assimilation/ The Original Sun, 23 May 2010 23:09:19 +0000 hourly 1 By: Scott http://blogs.6bit.com/josh/2009/12/jeff-atwood-of-borg-stackoverflow-careers-assimilation/comment-page-1/#comment-1186 Scott Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:12:03 +0000 http://blogs.6bit.com/josh/?p=158#comment-1186 I pretty much agree. Making it free for CV-posters would actually provide more value to the potential employers... I have some sort of student membership and I've been contacted by an employer (haven't been able to figure out how that works). My main complaint is from the point of view of a potential job-seeker. Any employer can post a job advertisement on craigslist with a interesting technology, a not-boring business, and a list of benefits that are developer friendly and probably end the week with tons of resumes. But a potential employee...sometimes it's so hard to find about companies. Dealing with recruiters sucks. Stackoverflow careers keeps the power in the employer's hands. I pretty much agree.
