eBossWatch according to the site has been created to “help others about a nightmare Boss, or recommend a great Boss”. eBossWatch rates your boss on a 6 point scale on the following parameters:

• I feel like there is open and honest communication between my boss and me.
• I feel like my boss cares about me as a person.
• I feel like my boss cares about my career development.
• I trust and respect my boss.
• I like working for my boss.
• I recommend this person as a good boss to work for.

If you are a Boss, I am sure you hate this!!
The site does not openly show reviews unless you know the name or company and it will be a good read if we can openly browse and read reviews… If you are in college and still not experienced a Boss, you can rate your Professors as well at RateMyProfessors.

techTribe, an Indian Web 2.0 company has now stepped into the e-recruitment bandwagon. Today, the company did announce frontFoot, claimed to be a patent pending concept which is the first of the kind; where recruiting seasoned professionals are done purely based on professional references & professional networks.

So how does this work?

The frontFoot Proces:

• Companies post high-paying job opportunities on techTribe
• techTribe members can refer (frontFoot) other members as candidates for the posted jobs
• If the company hires a candidate that was referred, the person who made the referral is rewarded financially
• The person responsible for bringing the hired candidate into the techTribe network is also rewarded

The reward can go upto 250 $ (upto 10,000 INR) which surely does sound an interesting way to connect and encourage referrals . This concept will take some time to catch fire on, but could be a potential threat to Consulting Firms; who now headhunt through referrals / people networks. The concept will be tested by the kind of positions that get showcased and the number of talented users the network can attract.

frontFoot will surely position techTribe as a true �Career Networking Platform�. My well wishes to Rohit Agarwal for his valiant effort, thou I feel that this concept is a takeoff from Zubka!
