Really neat - it would be interesting if there was an ability to (some how) filter the tweets based on the occupation they are hiring for (technical, sales, retail, etc). Location based is "to do" which would really great.

Thanks, I'm working on that and contributions are welcome.

The stream filter terms in server.js are 'we are hiring, looking for interns, we are employing, vacancy!, we have job available'. How did you pick them? I've never searched Twitter for a job but I can imagine there are a lot of jobs that those terms are going to miss.

It was just an initial experiment, help improve it! Thanks.

Use ML. Gather a bunch of tweets and learn a model that classifies tweets (job listing / not job listing). Then use the model as a filter. You can use it in concert with your current implementation: if the tweet contains any of your keywords, there's no need to invoke the model. Hope that helps.
