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.

Just stumbled across another useful site, JobReferrals.in which is dedicated to Employee Referrals. So how does this work

Job Holders

• Post internal vacancies in your teams , organization
• Chose the best candidates from the job seeking members database
• Collect resumes from employee profiles and refer them to your organization
• Help your organization recruit best people and get rewarded with referral bonus!

Job Seekers

• Browse job vacancies in organizations of your choice
• Browse through the profiles of site members of the organization of your choice
• Send them your resumes and get referred internally
• Read reviews of the organizations , and make an informed decision regarding a career move
• Read domain reviews, and find out what people have to say about a particular career stream they have been in.

Organizations

• Organizations can advertise for open positions & they will be indicated as a featured item in the vacancies section. As a premium member posting, it will carry more credibility and visibility than the user submitted vacancies.

What I don’t like:

1. Usability
2. Google Advertisements which interupt healthy browsing
3. PR / Marketing – I hope my post helps

JobReferrals might not directly monetize you directly like how frontFoot & NDTVJobs, but you surely can earn you referral Bonus from your employer…
