chat with climber.com ceo mike o’brien
October 31st, 2007
Among the new breed of job sites hoping to eHarmonize the recruiting industry and make connecting the perfect candidate to the perfect employer more a matter of technology than old school resume sifting, Climber has been impressive.
Don’t just take my word for it. Nielson says they’re already a Top Ten job site in terms of traffic. Granted, they’ve gone national - while the immediate competition has mostly chosen to grow in market-to-market fashion - but for such a young site the accomplishments to date are nothing to ignore.
Additionally, they haven’t been afraid to spend money and brand themselves and their animated, pink-haired vixen intelligently, as you’ll learn more about from my recent interview with CEO Mike O’Brien:

I was excited to see this because I just heard someone else talking about Climber. however, my experience just trying to set up an account was not great. I kept getting responses that made no sense - like:
2 errors prohibited this account from being created
* Salt has already been taken
* User can’t be blank
I didn’t see a filed called User (perhaps i need glasses more quickly than I thought). Also, I don’t understand the first bullet - and, it appeared multiple times. Salt was not the password I was trying establish????
Also, why do you need to know my gender?
I’ll try again when not on the road on a mac perhaps??

You appear to be trying to create a Climber user account. We capture gender to understand the demographics of our site.
If you are a recruiter you can create a recruiter account at www.climber.com/corporate.
Cheers,
Mike
