I'm doing market research for a local start up company. Basic question is ... would you pay for a site that provides targeted job leads in that area based upon your resume/skills/interests? If so, how much would you pay?
Thanks!

It sounds like a great service but I would not want to pay for it. Keep in mind that many people who may need this service may not be able to pay for it.

One of the reasons I became a librarian was so that I would have the skills necessary so that I would never need to pay for information. Might appeal to some, but there are other sites out there that do more or less the same thing that are free. Readersadvisor makes an excellent point that the target audience for such a site are the ones least likely to have income to pay for it.

Many free websites and professionals already offer this for free. No, I would not pay nor would I recommend others pay.

Ditto what Brian said. Even if I were looking at non-professional jobs, I would not pay for information available elsewhere for free. It would have to bundle other services for it to merit a subsciption--as in something even better than Craiglist.
