As a competitor, getting alerts about roles another company is hiring for can be very interesting. Combine it with trends of postings over time…
The company data was gathered online for a long time until I found https://www.thecompaniesapi.com/ (which now is the source for much of that data)
I would love a map of job postings to see where it might make sense to move to in the future. If there's 10 jobs within 50 miles... that might be a good place to buy a house.
Additionally, if I filter by 'north america' I still get jobs from canada and india because they're remote only. I would LOVE to be able to filter out those positions. Also I would love to be able to AND 'remote' and 'north america'. I would like to work remotely, but only for US companies
love your site <3
So the inclusive vs exclusive filtering is something that I struggle to perfect here. I'm tempted to throw both in the UI (since its ready to go on the backend) but its hard to explain to users. One thing you can do that is not so obvious is add a tag for "Canada" but click on the tag again which will put a line through Canada and exclude that location from your filter (still need to have helpers to show users how to do that). The 'remote' tag is probably the toughest one to parse of a job listing because it might appear anywhere within the text, so there is some inaccuracies for sure but its improving I hope!
Ah I could probably add filters for company locations specifically too (so you can filter US companies), that's an interesting use case too.
Thanks for the compliment too, it has been really fun to build
* Job listings for "Quality Assurance" and "QA" are split into different listings in Job Search.
* I really like the green highlight for Salary range! Personally, I would sort by jobs that list salary first, then by location (or relevance, or whatever).
* The filter was a little confusing to use. I see you talked about it with other users in here. It needs some love, but it's getting there. :)
* If you are going to target job searchers, it would be very helpful too see metrics based on the results. Here's a few examples I came up with
Example 1: I select Help Desk -> Chicago
I see a short-term graph showing whether demand has gone: up, down, or stayed the same - included is a red/green/yellow arrow giving me an idea at a glance. This helps me understand how many Help Desk postings are in Chicago
Example 2: I select Cybersecurity -> I also select Information Security -> NYC
I see a short-term graph showing demand for Cyber vs IS in NYC. This helps me understand if which job has more postings in NYC.
Example 3: I select Python Developer -> Boston & Dallas.
I see a medium-term graph showing demand for each location for Python Developer. This helps me decide whether demand is more consistent in Boston or Dallas.
Example 4: I select Asia & Canada -> Advertising (Under Industry)
I see a long-term graph showing the overall trend for that industry in each of those countries. This helps me track whether jobs are being outsourced, what I should expect in the coming years, and/or which country is the most competitive in that industry.
Hope that helps! Good luck. :)
Yea there is a much better version of the search bar soon-to-deploy (which accounts for aliases like QA -> Quality Assurance) and it will match by word rather than the entire phrase (currently "software engineer" will not query "software test engineer"). Appreciate the callout here
You can find a toggle switch for "has salary" under the "other" filters which will show only those w salary, but good call perhaps that should be part of a sort feature (beyond just date)
The filters do need more love for sure. I like your examples for various metrics displayed in the UI. I did think it would be cool to have a Github-like array of squares that represent units of time with colors that show how it has been changing over time, would have to figure out how heavy of calculations those would be in real-time but I really like your idea here. Or a line chart might be better.
Many thanks for all the input!
1.) Imitating a good design can take a lot of developer hours. Many landing pages have fancy css effects and support many screen sizes and it can take quite some time to build.
2.) Finding a good designer is not easy. I have tried hiring on most freelancer sites with very poor results. The applicant pool is typically of low quality.
So I am wondering if others have found efficient/effective ways of going about #1 or #2, either by using certain tools or templates or by having a more clever hiring method.
In any case, I suggest looking into frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind. Of course, there are also high-level solutions that don't require as much coding, e.g. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc. WordPress plugins can make it very easy to apply fancy CSS effects without writing any CSS.
As for finding freelancers, I agree that's also a difficult task. I don't have any magic bullet there, other than to prioritize people with good, timely communication skills, and to avoid people on the low end of the price range since they will usually be less experienced.

Otherwise its just React
Scraper of job listings directly from company websites. I found my last day job by using a scraper that visits company websites in search of job listings. Now I've turned it into an app for others to use and access jobs that are posted on company websites (rather than paid employer ads on Indeed or wherever). This gives the job searcher an advantage to find jobs not listed on job search sites and show the company you have taken time/interest to visit their site.
