- In the main job list, clicking anywhere in the cell should bring you to the job (since it does highlight the cell), not just clicking on the job title.

- Maybe this is a decimal vs space vs coma thing, but one just has a salary of "42.000" EUR while the other is "EUR 45000". The system should be able to make this consistent. Does the currency come before or after? And, FWIW, I read the first one as paying $42.

- As a foreigner, it's always nice to know any language expectation (I assume english, but that isn't always the case), as well as if they assist with relocation. I realize that's up to them to put in the description, but some hand holding would be nice.

- Qubit's salary of "£50k + bonus + shares + insurance + free food + the rest!" is lame..it expands the UI unecessarily. I'd put a lenght limit (and again, structure salary better overall)

- RSS? Most boards have it (or, I find a better structured json feed much better)

Not sure I agree with you on this one mate but I'll keep it in mind.

Salaries are entered in a freetext box currently. That will change down the line. Just trying to get a feel for what works at the moment.

As above

RSS

Really high on the priority list.

Re RSS, please let people create their own custom RSS feeds. Eg, I might only want to see opportunities within 50 miles of Nottingham above 30 grand:

Most of the listed jobs will end up being in London and there are a lot of developers (like me) who don't want to work there.
