Everyone hates NotchUp's spammy invitations. So much so that they can't stop talking about their loathing for the pay-per-interview online job board. Proving that there's no such thing as bad publicity, the obnoxious startup is getting all kinds of attention from Sand Hill Road, founder Jim Ambras told BusinessWeek.

TechCrunch calls Los Altos-based job board NotchUp "a stealth startup." Wrong. There's nothing stealth about NotchUp's spammy membership drive. I've got five emails in my personal inbox to prove it. Each email explains how NotchUp works (headhunters pay you!) and that NotchUp remains in a private beta. That way the riffraff stay out. So, hey, riffraff. Want to see a copy of that email, private beta username and password included?
