This is too bad. I really enjoyed the YCommonApp, and hope something fills its place.

We're going to keep the YCommonApp up for the time-being, but in the long run we think our new product will do better at matching YC (and other) companies with people who are good fits.

Are you guys sticking with the Recruitment industry or is this a completely new thing?

nicholasjbs4• 16 years ago

It's a different product, but still in the hiring space.

Wasn't there another YC company in the recruitment space that shut down a while back?

Oh, it was SnapTalent (I think they wrote about their experiences, too). Is the recruitment industry just a tough nut to crack?

Just to clarify, we're shifting focus to a new product (also in the hiring space), not shutting down.

Just to be clear, our company isn't shutting down, we're just turning off our initial product so we can focus on a new product we're working on that we think has bigger potential.

Awesome that you're pivoting instead of giving up ... best of luck!

Thanks! We're pretty excited.

Good luck guys! I liked the idea of HireHive, but it seems like execution might have been difficult. Good luck!
