Thanks for the feedback! The overall goal of the platform is to connect talents with interesting companies. Especially for huge companies it is often hard to find suitable candidates. If you wouldn't register they couldn't reach out to you at a later point.
You are right about facebook! That's exactly why we choose to implemenent the mannual signup option without facebook. But we do respect the privacy of our users very much! We never post on any walls or something. In our the privacy settings you can furthermore control the visibility of every single field on your profile.
would it not be possible to leave an email address without registering for an account? It's more the password side that's a pain really.
Also in response to your edit, I do trust that you guys are honest but I'm aware of a lot of sites which use Facebook Connect to get permissions to someone's wall and just start spamming them heavily. By emphasising Facebook Connect you may get tarred with the same brush.
