Not to detract from how great a resource this would be for someone looking for a new GIS role, but it'd be nice if this site had a bit of a re-vamp, style/security wise.

Site loads really quick (from AU), which is actually a plus. I miss these older style sites without all the cruft. :(

My colleague has built something similar: http://www.digital-geography.com/jobs-digital-geoscientists It is using the Indeed API, which might get blocked by your adblocker.

It wants my location, is throwing an alert error regarding an object file, and the companies page breaks. Also, grumble grumble information architecture in the "Hire a GISPro" page.

Neat idea. Part of the look-and-feel is that, if you're going to make a site shiny and new, it needs to meet the usability and polish of its visually similar competitors. A (perhaps accidental) benefit of the other site is that the average visitor isn't likely to compare it, too deeply, with other leading jobs sites.

for digital-geography.com we thought it would be a benefit to zoom to your current location so you might see new jobs around your area easier. The only earror I can see in the console is this "TypeError: sidebaroffset is undefined" which is not "problematic". Do you get the "cannot access JSONP file" error? This is caused by your firewall, not the site as some jobs we show on digital-geography.com are stored in a google spreadsheet.

But thank you for the valuable insight!

Certainly -- but I reckon you could improve the style without too much of an overhead.

Agreed. Even some basic sorting/filtering on the jobs table would be great. Also, is it just me or do pages of 15 results seem quite short nowadays?
