Thanks for all the feedback.

@Steve: Monster probably has the most job postings and resumes, but we're not competing with Monster.

Monster has to beat out everyone for number of job postings and resumes.

The website really looks good! Congrats! Interesting to see how you jump on the bandwagon that is going more to employer branding in stead of just posting vacancies.

Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated. And for the hint re: a JavaScript error ... we're still working out the kinks!

Head's up about a JavaScript Error:

sIFR.replace(soj_font, {
selector: '#pagetop h2',
css: ['.sIFR-root { color: #ffffff; font-size: 34px; margin: 0; padding: 0;}'
'a {color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;}',
'a:hover {color: #f05c27;}'
],
wmode: 'transparent',
offsetTop: '-5'
});

Missing a comma after padding: 0;}'

Well done, Ben! Revenue is a great milestone in a company's life. I remember the first time I asked a customer for money and I said to him, "How about $25 per user per month?" He immediately replied "sure." Later on the way walking out of the building he put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Son [he was in his 60s], you're charging too little for your product." I spent the next 2 years slowing increasing the price until finally I got more "nos" than "yeses." If I were doing that over again, I'd start high and go down as opposed what I did.

Anyway, best of luck!
