Well, after I spent more than 1 hour to build my profile, I applied for a job and discovered that you have to make a subscription starting from $19/month to apply for jobs. Nowhere is written in the homepage. Bad move.

@mrdobelina Sorry that part is not more clear. I'm sure you saw, but if you book work the monthly subscription is waived. This is currently how we monetize, but I appreciate the feedback and will certainly keep it in mind as we iterate moving forward.

@nickmacario yea I'm not questioning the fee itself (somehow you have to monetize) but just the fact that is not written anywhere till the moment you finally want to apply for a job.

@mrdobelina woah, are you kidding? Who's going to pay $20 a month for a profile? NO thanks

@nickmacario The hunter said he spent an hour to build his profile. Could you elaborate on that? True or false?

@adamrsweet Think there's a misunderstanding here. Creating a profile is free, along with everything else on the site, outside of applying to jobs(if you do not book work).

@mirmayne The hunter was Kevin. Some people spend 5 minutes, others more depending on content, customization, etc.

@mrdobelina @nickmacario @adamrsweet I mean, if the user can fill a profile for free and could anytime decide to be a paying customer or remain free. There's nothing bad with that. The only way it could be bad is if after filling the profile you are asked to pay and you lost everything. That will be terrible. Nonetheless, communicating clearly about the pack… See more

@nickmacario at first glance it seems to me the opposite would make more sense, i.e. pay fee if you book work, but I'm sure you guys thought it through...
