Job site With a Social Networking Mix

Skillda all set to release its beta in june is a concept where Social Networking and Job browsing gets integrated you many of the social networking features and aslo a Job search engine mixed to give an intresting new concept.

The social networking features like profile has been converted to give a job oriented touch. Here you dont have a profile you have a Resume. There are comunities but most are again related to jobs or thing that has to do with jobs. You can add a vedio to your resume, which is infact a new idea for the jobseeker.

You can set your intrest level in new jobs from not intrested to only terrific offers. You can also set the location of intrest and who can view your resume.

You can send messages to your friends , ask questions or forward job refferals.

A good venture still in its Infancy lets wait to see what it turns out to be.

Positives:-
  • Good concept
  • Clean and easy Interface
  • Good implementation of ajax that doesnt overwhelm you

Negatives(Still in Infancy so there is room to change):-

  • Not all social networking features available, so this can replace your current social networking account.
  • Search is not optimised and is not giving proper results
  • Does not show when you have invited some one as a friend
  • Beta is not realeased even though the site says beta release in June(They have made it July)
  • At current state one wouldnt need more than 30 mins to get bored with the site, this is because of serious lack of user content.
