JobVent.Com Job Review Site No Longer Up - Anyone Have Recommendations For Others?

JobVent.Com Not What It Used to Be

I know this channel is typically about making money online, doing your own thing, and not working for the man or being part of the machine. That said it's often a necessity to hold down a 9 to 5 when your first getting things rolling working for yourself.

Years ago there was a great site called JobVent.Com. It was essentially a Yelp but for employees to rank the companies they work for in terms of whether they liked the job functions, the company atmosphere and attitude, and their managers. It was helpful as oftentimes working for the same company may be a totally different experience whether you work in the San Francisco office as opposed to say working in the Chicago office. This site was a wonderful way to get some inside help at deciding whether you want to take a job at a particular company.

Several years ago however Job Vent, was purchased or taken over by GlassDoor. Not sure if they were worried about getting sued or what but all the sudden this site JobVent, which honest reviews about what people didn't like about certain companies, those great and honest reviews were deleted and it seems all that's allowed to remain up there is positive posts, we don't seem to get both sides of the coin in terms of honest reviews.

I myself am self employed, however my girlfriend is currently looking for a job. I try to get her to get her own hustle going, I've offered to coach her and help her get started but unfortunately she doesn't have that entreprenurial grind within her. Nothing wrong with that it's just not her cup of tea.

Anyhow, as I've been assisting her with her job search I've found a true lack of a site which has honest reviews of potential employers.

If anyone is looking for a project to take on or an idea for a site to rollout, I think a site which honestly reviews companies and what it's like to work for them is definately needed in the marketplace, and not just some cookie cutter site that says every place is rainbows and sunshine, an place where people can be brutally honest about what they like and do not like about their employer.

Anyone up for the challenge? If anyone sets out to create something like this please revisit this post and leave a comment below showing us what you've put together.
