Climber.com
Climber is primarily a job search site for “passive” job seekers (Climber’s proprietary algorithms match you with companies that would be of mutual interest, even if you are not actively looking for a job). You can create your personal profile on the site, by answering simple questions via an easy Web2.0 interface and some text entry, aided by a could-have-been-animated picture of a female assistant, although one that is better looking than the Microsoft Office’s “helper dog” J. At the end of the signup session, Climber creates a holistic summary of your desired career along dimensions such as Work environment, Social aspects, Leadership, Compensation etc of your ideal company. Your profile is then matched up with jobs/companies aligned to your career values, and presented to you (and the companies too, I guess).
The niche site is a useful tool for those looking for a job on the side, to see if anything interesting comes up. It is like having a job search agent on some of the other job-search sites, but with more variables taken into consideration to find your ideal job. You can also actively search for jobs using their Search box (though it took me a bit longer than expected to figure out where to do an active search, but I guess the primary intent of the site is for Climber to connect job seekers and companies). You can apparently rate companies too (though I couldn’t find the link to do so). A desirable feature on the site would be to be able to turn off your public profile for a while, maybe when you are not even passively looking for a job. The site has some networking features too (similar to LinkedIn), such as ‘Ask your network a question’ and ‘Get endorsed’. As usual, the success of such a job marketplace also depends on getting a critical mass of users and/or employers.
Climber’s CEO, Mike O’Brien, is a serial entrepreneur, having co-founded financialaid.com, and started CampusDirt.com, RateYourCampus.com and CampusClix.com earlier. Climber.com currently has 100,000 users and is adding 500 - 3,000 users a day.
