Well gentle readers, I was going to write a review of the new website NotchUp for a kickass blog post, but they totally and harshly rejected me. Except, you know, in a really polite way:
Hi A.J.,
Thank you for your application to NotchUp, the premier recruiting website.
Our network of HR professionals has reviewed your application. While we found your credentials impressive, we unfortunately are unable to offer you membership in NotchUp at this time.
Please feel free to apply again in the future when you have more gained more experience and/or additional skills.
Best regards,
The NotchUp Team
For those of you who aren’t obsessively glued to career-development RSS feeds like me, here’s the rundown.
NotchUp is a site that seeks to replace headhunters and corporate recruiters. Rather than pay a headhunter’s fee, NotchUp allows companies to pay NotchUp members $200-$1000+ for an interview. The NotchUp member is under no obligation to take the job, only to treat the interview seriously. Applicants to NotchUp must either submit an electronic resume or a link to their LinkedIn account.
In a way, I think it’s probably a good thing that NotchUp rejected my application. After all, I’m not even a full year out of college yet. I’m not (yet) the kind of employee companies would go to headhunters to find.
But give me time.
