I haven't considered taking it over until your comment just now. I've always told myself I'd write a book and do some talks at some point in my life, but I've been heads down either trying to survive or building companies that I put it off.

Thanks for the idea.

Richard, I'll shoot you an email.

just a suggestion, but another option is to make a high-quality archive of the business - contacts, software packages used, consultants who worked with them, etc., in order to revive it efficiently if/when the day comes.

Email is in the original post: Richard@70MillionJobs.com.

Count me in to help. I have a knack for making the impossible possible. I’ve mentored EIT’s through Defy in the past.

If you need clients I expect corp to corp agreements with established recruitment agencies would be a good place to start generating revenues.

Thanks for your kind offer to help.

Definitively sounds like you have one of the bests existing opportunities to implement the 2.0 of that idea.

I am considering several blockchain approaches.

I will help you.

i'd also help! (backend swe)

If you do go through with this, you can get quite a bit of competent volunteer work, especially from potential beneficiaries and retired programmers.

Post to HN if this moves forward and you want volunteers / low paid staff - currently I dn't know how you find thsiad volunteers when you are finally ready.

Thank you.

thx!

Thanks for the offer.

Glad I could help. I know it won't be a breeze but I would hope that at the very least the job board continues. I'm sure there are plenty of people that will find it very helpful now and in the future. You've gone thru many of the difficulties associated with the situation and have risen above them. There are very few people with the experience needed to help others given the same circumstances. I wish you the best!

Hey Wheels-thanks for sharing your positive thoughts. We had 2 business lines: our job board and our staffing business. The job board is very low touch, although it does require dedicated personnel driving employer acquisition. But the tech side is easy.

By far, the bigger business is the staffing company, and it requires lots of people to land large corporate accts and service them day-to-day and drive job-seeker acquisition. People are expensive, as you know.

I think you are doing some important work. I'm pretty sure that there's a need for your services. It's just hard to keep it going with all the economic turbulence we've had these past years.

I would hope that at the very least the job board continues. It would be a big loss to have it all disappear. I wish you all the best!
