This Week in Startups #20 with Joe Essenfeld

Jason's guest today is Joe Essenfeld, CEO of LocalBacon, one of the finalists from TechCrunch50 2009.  LocalBacon is a job posting site that turns the traditional model on its head - instead of charging companies for posting, it charges job seekers to apply (a nominal $1 fee).  The goal is to weed out the "blast" emails that people send to any job they see posted and help the most qualified candidates rise to the top.  There's also mandatory feedback, so applicants can see what the hiring company thought of them to help tailor their future applications better. Check out the entire episode to see how Joe came up with the idea (and which fellow TWiST fan helped him build  it).
