Create any sort of functionality and usability for someone who is going to start a small business and wants to look for potential hires
In the account creation process, put some sort of way of viewing how far along the user is in finishing the process, such as step numbers or a progress bar.
Create a divergence in the account creation process - ask if user is looking to be hired, or is looking to hire.
This will determine and greatly differentiate the rest of the account creation process.
Stop focusing so much on the social media aspect of the website.
People are here to complete their goals, and, while it can be important to connect with others, the implementation of this connection seems to want to imitate sites like Facebook, but does not help in the way it should.
When first entering the homepage, don't overwhelm the user with all of the visual noise.
There is no need for a new user to see the messaging sidebar, so it should be closed.
There should be only one or two items that stand out very prominently on the page to indicate that this is where a user should start.
There are many inconsistencies within the site between users.
It seems like the order of some of the pages in the account creation process, or the look of the home and profile pages, and several other things are different for different users.
I cannot place why this would be, but it either has something to do with the account details that the user specified, or it is completely random.
