The recent startup of NotchUp has raised questions among experienced internet users and comments are popping up all over about the credibility of the site. NotchUp marketing strategy is to leverage a platform that connects employers and potential employees.

The difference in their concept and traditional job search sites is that they actually get employers to pay you to interview.

Some people aren’t enamored with the new process and are questioning the ethics and viability of the site. According to recent postings on Valleywag.com, some users are irate about the mail pouring into their inboxes.

One entry reads, “Seriously, this thing is ridiculous. I received about 10 invitations in the last week or so. Something tells me that this thing is about as exclusive and unique as the resume postings on Craigslist. Especially if they’re inviting a chump like me.” His comments raise questions about the site’s job search strategies and privacy protection, and it puts NotchUp in a “wait and see” mode for many.

Check out NotchUp today and formulate your own opinions. But don’t be surprised if you’re the next person screaming, “Notchup, stop spamming me!”
