Would you interview me for $200?

A new job site, NotchUp is trying to disrupt the pay for performance players in the recruitment advertising space. TechCrunch has a great overview of NotchUp. 

Here are some quick points

• Job site focused on passive candidates
• Job seekers get paid to interview
• Employers pay job seekers a fee set by the seeker
• The site suggests fees based on the seekers experience
• Setting up profile is easy. I did it in a few minutes. It accepted my LinkedIn url as my resume. This is good because I truly am passive and I don't have an update my resume.
• I think its a good idea. Not everyone gets it.

What I like about this is that it's pushing the pay for performance model a step further.

Job boards in large part offer pay per posting. Search engines offer pay per click. Jobster is offering pay per candidate and now NotchUp is offering pay per interview. Pretty cool. I guess we're one step closer to exactly where employers want us...where 3rd party recruiters have been all along...pay per hire.

The site's calculator suggested that an employer should pay $200 to interview me. How about you?

Log into the site using the following login information. Comment below with what the site says an interview with you is worth.

Thanks to Chuck Taylor for the heads up on this and invite to NotchUp.

Update 2/20/08: I just noticed that JobFox is a pay for performance model. They charge per resume. So I guess thats after post and click but stopping short of pay per applicant. JobFox pricing.

If you want to interview me, it's gonna cost you $380.

With 2 years of internet sales experience it recommended that I get paid $380 for an interview. If a phone interview is considered a payable interview, I would love to get paid $380 an hour. Who needs a job when you can just interview?!

TalentSpring (my company), JobFox, and ItzBig are three companies working on making hiring more efficient. Now NotchUp is also doing some interesting things in this space.

The first three are working on advanced ways to job seekers to their ideal job opening. And employers to their ideal job candidate.

TalentSpring goes beyond that to rank resumes within an industry. We do this to benefit Job Seekers by getting the attention of employees. Job seekers rank well in areas they are passionate about and where they have invested in their work experience and education.

Since job seekers will rank well in areas they are interested in, we can bring large numbers of employers back to that job seeker. Specifically, we email a wide range of employers of job types that the job seeker considers ideal. This way the job seeker wins because they have their ideal types of employers actively listening to them. (Ranking resumes gives us the power to accomplish this)

This doesn't seem like a good idea considering most employers are paying the cost of their time in the interview, now they have to pay just to interview someone.
Why does everything have to cost anyway, my site www.YouInterviewMe.com is 100% free to use and to contact jobseekers, we even have Video Resume posting service and linking to YouTube.
