RECEPTION looks like a great product. You should also check out Catch the Best, which has a lower price point for smaller business to get going with these types of tools. It also allows teams to rate candidates and host a list of their open jobs on their own site with only one line of Javascript.

Allen,

Thanks for the review. You have a good read on the industry.

Convincing people to get out of email isn’t one of my biggest concerns, because I’ve experienced using email enough times to manage candidates and the hiring process to know how difficult it is. Basecamp’s done a good job of getting people out of email for project management, hopefully we can do the same in that regard.

Your price point suggestion is an interesting one. We’ll have to see where the target market really centers and adjust pricing from that point forward. I think there are opportunities in both directions from a price perspective.

$149/month is too much for a startup. There’s is not a unique offering and there are other products that get the job done for far less. We’ve been using http://www.simplicant.com and so far are very satisfied with their offering of managing recruitment

This industry is very crowded and dominated by large companies for years. It will be a tough sell at best especially to recruiters or HR. Keep in mind, the HR department is the worst department to innovate. Think of how long it took paper resumes to move towards online or email resumes.
