My DEMO 08 Presentation for Standout Jobs

January 31, 2008

So here it is in all its glory. I must admit watching myself borders on Chinese water torture, but we got a lot of great feedback.

It’s just around 5:36 … well under the 6 minute limit. I rushed a few parts, but generally the pace was good and there were no “oops” moments. I’m very pleased with the way it went, and with the whole DEMO experience. More on that later…

    Awesome pitch Ben! Congrats on the funding as well.
  • Impressive presentation! Very well done. The product looks very interesting to employers!

    As Rob says, congratulations to the funding too!
  • Awesome job Ben!

    You look/sound great. Clear message. Well spoken. Great delivery.

    All the best to you, the team and all.

    Stand out performance ;)
  • Great presentation! If any presentations i do (which I will be in a month or so!) go that smoothly I will be a very happy man!
  • Excellent presentation. I don't know how you managed to say so much, so calmly, in five and a half minutes.

    You need to show more of those features in your "Reception tour" at StandoutJobs.com - the video clips there don't do the service justice.

    Most important features that I've seen so far? The "broadcasting" feature, the metrics, and the candidate searching/bookmarklet stuff. Of all that, only the broadcasting is shown on your site.
  • Nice job Ben!

    Hey, great job dude.

    Looks like it could not have gone any better.

    The site looks great. One of the biggest things that stood out to me, and something that I'm always a stickler about it, was the ease of use or navigation of the site.

    Great job, and I wish you all the best.

    Hurray! You made an excellent, informative, and remarkably calm presentation. Great job!
  • Standout presentation! I now better understand what Reception is about, which is not as clear at first sight on this page that I had visited previously:
    http://standoutjobs.com/tour
    I think you should add your presentation to this page to give an overall view of the product before explaining the different parts.

    I'm passing the info to the HR people I know! Best success!
  • Great demo man. Great speech. Fred's little wave was pretty smooth too :).
  • Congratulations Ben! Hope everything went well with standout jobs' launch!

    Ben,
    I was in Dallas all week but I was thinking about you. Very well done, you've always been a professional standout. Best of luck., Lets get together via phone.
  • Congratulations Ben. Very well presented and the technical presentation was awesome too. Wish I had been there in person.
  • Way to go, Ben! I think you did a great job and you should be really proud of yourself! :)
  • Great presentation, Ben! I love the show of features. Perhaps next time tone down the hand gestures a little. I found them distracting. I hope you have some great success with Standout Jobs!
  • Nice job on the video.
  • Ben .. what a great presentation and great product! I'm so proud that it's Canadian. Really well done!
  • Thank you to all the comments - I really appreciate it.

    Some great suggestions as well, we're taking them all into account. So stay tuned for lots of changes at Standout Jobs!

    Great platform Ben! I can see you give it a lot of thought.
    You should post stories in your blog about how companies using your service have succeeded finding talented people.
  • Great presentation! I hope it all went as smooth as shown in the clip :)
  • @lior: As soon as we have success stories, trust me, we'll post them!

    @Mieszkania: Thanks. It took a ton of practice. But in the end it did go smoothly and felt great.
  • Way to go, Ben! I think you did a great job and you should be really proud of yourself..
