We looked at these issues. Really hard. We considered individuals or small firms doin the quick job announcement. But then we looked at the data. What it show is the vast majority of job postings are from recruiters first, the company HR departments, and individuals way last. These recruiters are already paying other sites (Coroflot, Boxes and Arrows, and others). We feel that for us to enter a paid job realm simply puts us in line with the users' expectations while also encouraging them to participate in helping all of us out. Remember, posting a job also means you're helping out your fellow IxDAer. Again, we have actually considere. This idea for quite some years (before I was on the board)--it i not a hasty decision. We hope you will check it out and see how well it works for most folks in the IxDA and how it helps put candidates and employers together.
