February 7th – Business Idea #7
Idea #7 Cross between yelp! and ratemyprofessor.com to rate how good your employer is for job seekers
As a job seeker, sometimes it's difficult to know what kind of employer a given company is. Is it a modern sweatshop for workaholics, a lousy organization who's happy being average, or an awesome place that offers work balance and great benefits? Usually you find the answers to these questions after you've started working for that employer, and sometimes you find out many months later. Here the idea is to have a website similar to rate my professor, but for businesses. There would be some criteria, for instance wages, benefits, work life balance, management, etc. and employees would get to vote on a scale. That website should host and fetch job postings for different companies in order to give a full picture to the job seeker. Money could be made with the many job postings and premium accounts for job seekers. A platform to enable discussion between current employees and would-be employees such as a forum would definitely be a big help as well. There could be some control over who gets to rate a company based on their email address, so if you have a company email you get to rate the company you work for (that would be defined by the person who first adds the company to the website). All ratings would however been kept anonymous in a way that the link between comments/ratings and the people cannot be made.
