I understand that this is your MVP and you are simply gauging the developer interest at the moment, but I would love to see what you are pitching to the employers. No, this is not about me not trusting you, I am just curious why would the other side use this (or how you will convince them to use it). Since you are building a marketplace, I would like to see how you are attracting both ends of the transaction

Great question. The biggest value employers get is significantly higher response rate from developers. Compare it with linkedin inmails where most of the interview offers are considered spam because developers don't see the incremental monetary value in offers.

Well ofcourse there ARE benefits to them, but I would just like to see you present it to them as awesomely as you presented to us devs

What's in it for the companies? I presume easier and better candidates to interview. Many companies have to wade through a sea of rubbish applicants, interview some and get no-where. If they can make it easier for the companies to get people, that's what's in it for them.

companies will be able to get better candidates (who aren't usually applying for jobs actively) if they are willing to pay. Just like a free market.
