LinkMe has helped 1,000s of people get jobs, and pretty much covers it’s costs for a year with the first placement. It is also doing the industry a favor by breaking new ground in the way people are placed, and now the job boards are starting to follow and build their own resume databases, and also integrating with networking sites.

On LinkMe’s redundencies, it’s true there have been some, like many other companies while the economy is a little chilly, LinkMe has decided to focus on it’s core business. The core and senior development team is still fully in place and focused on pushing LinkMe’s Search, resume and groups functionality.

LinkMe has over 10,000 new members each month.

LinkMe is Australian based and focused, it puts the candidates first and provides much better matching than anything else on the market for recruiters.

From a recruiter’s perspective, I have placed a number of candidates sourced from LinkedMe and have paid up my subscription for 2009.

Therefore, despite your criticisms, it still does a good job.

The only other site I invest in is Seek.

They’ve just made their IT team redundant so no more investment in the thing.

Its been for sale for years anyway.

Its taken them 10 years to get 250,000 out of date CV’s together. Most recruiters have a better set up than that.

LinkedIn is much more effective at the networking bit anyway.
