Venturocket

Venturocket is a marketplace where job seekers bid on their skills to compete for job opportunities and employers cherry-pick the very best talent. The price job seekers bid reflects their true proficiency for those skills. This eliminates résumé spam by filtering out unqualified candidates. VR thus enables specifically targeted search for talent and opportunity just like AdWords does for products and services.

Venturocket uses a novel pay-per-connection system: both the “connector” and the “connectee” – e.g., employer and job seeker – pay the same fee based on the job seeker’s bids for the matching skills when a connection is made. This helps ensure that (1) the job seeker is actually qualified and (2) the employer is serious to set up an interview.
