First, a recent rave for the 37signals job board: In “Sometimes you really do get what you pay for”, Dark Liquid talks about its search for a Rails Developer…
I must say I am really impressed with the 37signals job board. After only 3 days, we’ve already had 4-5 applicants to our ad for a Junior Rails Developer. We’ve posted on pretty much every free ruby-related job board around and got nothing back at all, so in this case, it seems you really do get what you pay for.
And now on to some recent postings on the board:

on 27 Mar 07Opposite to our experience. We got zero responses from our posting. Zero. We were disappointed with the results…especially when the same type of posting brought many applicants from Yahoo Hotjobs and Craigslist.
We had the highest hopes for the 37signals job board and the poorest results.

Have you thought about posting at jobs.joelonsoftware.com. Joel is well respected within the community and co-founder of FogCreek.
The JoelOnSoftware job-board offers a money back guarantee if not satified.

on 27 Mar 07Sorry to hear that Neal. It definitely can happen like that. We’ve heard from people on all sides—some people get great responses, some people don’t get any responses. It can depend on what the jobs is, the timing, the way the ad is written, etc.
We hope you have better luck next time around.

on 28 Mar 07I think you should pay more attention to the ad content. I saw ad without contact info even in “How to apply” field Jason.
