jobirn: chat in real time w/ recruiters and managers

Jobirn is a new online referral network that allows candidates to chat and interview in real time with recruiters and hiring managers that are profiled on the site.

The interface is fairly simple and intuitive. As soon as you enter the site, a brief demo is displayed that shows you how to navigate the different features. Job applicants can create a file with their resume and other personal data.

To chat in real time with a recruiter, right-click on any of the users listed under the employers/recruiters header. This enables the job seeker to view the profile and job listings associated with the recruiter’s user name.

The platform is currently in beta and is free to both recruiters and and job seekers. Employers can also search listings by colleges to view applicants from certain educational backgrounds or institutions.

The only thing I found distracting was that the home page loads continuously and is constantly flashing. Other than that, it sounds like an interesting idea, especially considering the ability to IM and interview candidates instantly if the recruiter so chooses.
