My DEMO 08 Presentation for Standout Jobs

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…

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.

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.

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 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!

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.
