It looks to me like gettinghired is trying to be like disaboom and its not going so well. These guys make up all their stats. They have for every for every model they have tried. My guess is their management team has no clue about this space or technology. @bob what are the considerable differences?

The social networking component is worse than anything I have seen. The website looks like my 3rd grade kid designed it (nice bumblebee!). Rightmatch technology = still selling this smoke? GettingHired Advisory Council = come on really? All their jobs on their site aren't friendly to the disabled, it's every single one of their poor swindled clients' jobs or just scraped jobs.

All their jobs on their site aren’t friendly to the disabled, it’s every single one of their poor swindled clients’ jobs or just scraped jobs.

Gettinghired has 3 revenue producing business models, the latest being a national job board that works on helping people with disabilities find suitable employment by matching them to company job posting who which to hire from this community. Vanessa, since Chad is a senior level executive at a company called Direct Employers who has a partnership relatonship with disaboom, he should obviously be promoting Disaboom site,and for the right reasons, but there are some considerable difference between Gettinghired and Disaboom.

My involvement with GettingHired commenced 2 years ago. Prior to GettingHired I headed up several large public companies and obviously worked with talented and capable management teams. I am proud to be associated with the dedicated and capable GettingHired team. Don't be misled by uninformed malcontents with some hidden agenda. GettingHired.com is a wonderful initiative developed to help the 23 million working age American's living with disabilities secure sustainable employment and who, for far too long, have been overlooked.

I had no idea this site has gone through so many transitions. It certainly does sound suspicious, given the comments above. Thanks, Chad, I’d like to look into Disaboom further.

I particularly liked the website designers attention to detail and focus on the user experience - such as the ability for visitors to easily adjust font size and contrast. Great features overall and I think this is a great benefit for visitors who have sight limitations. Good luck to the entire GettingHired team!
