A latest feature in recruitment - paid job interviews
by Lenka Filipova


Yes, it is exactly as it written. We can all forget tireless begging for a job interview. Instead, you will be paid for being interviewed and in addition to this, you will set the price. NotchUp.com has conceived a novel idea. It has proposed the way of luring the most appropriate, talented, experienced and satisfied applicants. Consequently, if the applicants become employed they are afterwards called "passive job seekers." According to Jim Ambras and Rob Ellis, the founders of NotchUp.com, this excellent method will fill in all the monetary gaps that are common results of a new hire's salary charged by recruiters and those who accumulate all probable resumes. Thus, the company saves time and money, the applicant gets paid, so everybody wins. What more can be expected than this happy-ending? Now, how to get your own price? It is quite simple and easy to do. You write down all information like the industry, job, pay, experience, etc. (setting up a profile is really easy), and you put it into calculator on the NotchUp web site. NotchUp gives advice to set a range between $200 and $ 500. Afterwards, you just submit your profile and you are ready to go! The companies which follow this method are Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. and Facebook. NotchUp started its DEMO startup on Monday in Palm Desert. Since that, the amount of responses of possible seekers is significantly high. In spite of being password-protected, it begun from 445 and ended in 10,500 members in 5 days till Friday. As Ambras said, "In every job I've had, I've had to, under time pressure, build a team of engineers. I learned years ago that the best people you want to hire are the people who aren't in the job market."
