I think the main issue here is that Cletus is in Australia. Assuming things haven't changed since January, Australia accounts for only 3% of the traffic to Stack Overflow[1]. It's hard to expect a critical mass of employers less than a month after the employer beta started[2], especially given how few potential candidates are in the area. Jeff has already floated the idea of offering a coupon[3] to interested employers, demonstrating that he's aware of and working to correct the issue.
Besides, it's way too early to say that Careers has "jumped the shark", considering that the public wasn't even aware of its existence two months ago.
Offtopic: I went clicking through your profile then your Careers CV and see that you did the modos rep tracker. I'm addicted to that thing, so thank you very much. It would be interesting if you added # of visits by user ID then told me that I was visiting way too often because I was a top X% user of the tracker :) Great tool, it has a permanent spot on my bookmarks bar. Thanks again.
Thanks! Sorry it's been broken for the past day or two, the profile page had some major markup changes. As soon as I get some time I'll get it working again (hopefully today) and I'll incorporate a little stat that tells you how many times you've hit the tracker in the past day/week/month/lifetime. And, um, if you know anyone that's hiring, feel free to pass on the link to my CV. Thanks. :-)
OK, I think I fixed it - let me know on Meta or via email if there are any more problems. I also added a counter at the bottom so you can see how many times you've checked it today (EST), this week, this month, and all time.
