Category: Marketing, Product Management 7 People got Jobs through Okdork. Are you next?
I love helping people find new jobs/careers/opportunities. Why? I think the idea that one opportunity can do so much for a person is extremely rewarding. The idea that a new position can change a person’s life. Over the course of my life I have helped 7 people get jobs. That is one of my proudest achievements.
I posted a few weeks ago about my good friends at Saynow.com offering $10,000 smackeroos for a referral of a programmer. Matt Rubens of Jamglue and bad ass site Sketchfu sent me his buddy Ross. Guess who is now working at Saynow? Ross. Woot!
Guess who owes me a burrito?
Action Items:
- There is now a Okdork Jobs tab at the top of the site. If you are hiring someone for product management or marketing feel free to send me your hiring description to jobs@okdork.com. There is no fee and it lasts 15 days or until the job is filled.
- Check out the latest listing from Yahoo for a product manager on their search team.
- If you are looking for a job I can posts resumes as well.
You should check out my Okdork Virgin Guide to get started.

What about funding? Can you have a section for people to post their elevator pitches and then if Angels/VCs are interested, they could contact them? Some people might be a bit apprehensive, but if you believe in it are confident, then you should not be worried about someone ripping you off.
Just a thought………..

One thing at a time Will. I was thinking about designer jobs but there are many places for them.
I know Mochi Media is hiring right now. Also, Mint is looking for a flash programmer for some contract work if anyone knows somebody.

Will,
You think I have a long term plan. Ha;) Mostly spur of the moment ideas. I get a lot of people asking me if I know a person for jobs and I thought it would be more scalable and easier to just post them online.

You are a god. Maybe you can install that plugin and manage the jobs now that we are working together;)

You should have a success story portion where I can send in a happy picture of me in a Loopt shirt with a blurb about how okdork changed my professional life

Wendy,
Great idea. We aren’t giving out any more Mint beta access right now…

I like the investor idea. We need more money, but I am not sure where to start.

Noah,
Come on, I know you have a long term plan floating around in there somewhere ;-).
Seriously, I like it! Are you just posting Bay area jobs, or will you post other areas as well?

Jason,
I can provide introductions and such if the ideas are good. The challenge investors face now is with too many bad ideas blocking out the good ones.
Will,
I will post jobs from anywhere if they are good and related to product/marketing.

honestly, how much of the bounty do you get?
i’m sure it’s more than A burrito.

Reading this just makes me hate the fact that I’ll have to sign a document saying I won’t even think about getting a paid job in the US before being anywhere near a such.
I’ve been reading this blog for a while, and I gotta ask - does everybody here know each other, or does Noah just get really well along with anybody?

Martin,
Most people don’t like me. I am like wine which takes awhile to get used to:)
I do like/appreciate all the readers/commenters and maybe that is why we get along so well. Glad to have your first comment!

V,
I have made a fair amount off some referrals and nothing off others. At least with the latest one I get burritos. Victory is mine!

It’s funny how these niche job boards are popping up. 37signals. TechCrunch. etc…. Who uses Monster anymore?

What’s Monster?
=)
I didn’t really want to create a job board but I get a fair amount of job requests so I thought it would be easier to just post them on my site for everyone.

Monster who? Exactly!
Go Noah!
