SalaryScout Launch Notes

I’m extremely happy and a bit nervous to announce the public beta release of SalaryScout.com. No worries, right? Actually, most web launches are dismally small. Usually a combination of excitement, adrenaline, caffeine, and large egos cause most founders to be over optimistic. “We have the next biggest, baddest, greatest product/service ever!” Don’t worry, you won’t be subject to that sort of unearned confidence here. I live and work by the philosophy, “under promise and over deliver.”

Expect bugs. Expect a limited feature set. SalaryScout was created during nights and weekends over roughly 30 days. I don’t consider myself a programmer or designer. Although I enjoy those activities, SalaryScout was started as a personal challenge just to see what could be accomplished.

Rather than continue to refine and build additional features, I felt it was time to invite the public (you) to participate. Please keep in mind and understand that the initial data set is limited. SalaryScout will only grow with your participation and support.

Initial Features:

• Ability to rate and comment on salary profiles
• Basic search by title, description, country, and region
• User customized RSS feeds based on search results
• Multiple country and region support
• Mulitple currency and currency formatting support
• Community-based quality control
