like the idea, although it is pretty much covered by many other job sites as they have this feature already. Where are you sourcing the jobs from? This would be perfect if it aggregated jobs from all the other job sites. Searching for remote jobs (which I am interested in) in particular is a pain - and is actually why I signed up once I saw that was an option...

yes, right now it is aggregated from job boards that i think are of high quality (github, stackoverflow, angellist, etc). but honestly, if you are living outside of tech hubs like SF, New York, Berlin etc, google is still your best bet to find jobs. its a chicken and egg problem. i was recently looking for a job myself, in a small-ish city (200k people) in germany... and the job boards mentioned above were all comple…

it would be great if the site had an about/imprint to know who's behind it

What happens if you check both "Remote only" and "include remote"?

my bad. that shouldn't be possible. check remote only, if you are just interested in jobs that allow remote work. check include remote if you are interested in both remote jobs and also jobs at your location. check none if you are only interested in jobs at your location. sorry about that...

sounds like three radios: remote, remote or office, office

You might be interested in http://workingnomads.co/ or http://letsworkshop.com/

Wow, thanks for the Workshop link. Any idea if they are US centric only? I would love to do some freelancing from Canada.

Founder here. All the leads are for remote work so you can work from anywhere. Hope that helps :)

I like the simplicity.

A few thoughts:

1. Radius. My location is Olympia, WA (about an 60-90 minutes south of Seattle). Does that include Seattle jobs? It seems like that should be on a person-by-person basis. Some people here do commute into Seattle. For me, though, Seattle jobs would just be noise.

2. Maybe another set of checkboxes for common technology stacks?

3. I didn't receive a confirmation or verification email to confirm my signup. (Maybe it hasn't come yet)

Thanks, for those of us outside the big metro areas, this could be helpful.

Haven't experienced that at all in Dallas. What skill set?

Power electronics (troubleshooting and support, but no design), systems engineering[1], real-time embedded software (radar signal processor, so "big" embedded), and NLP. My resume is linked through my website in my profile here. [1] This kind: http://www.incose.org/practice/fellowsconsensus.aspx

This is a good skill set for San Jose or Austin, not so great for Dallas unless you want to work for one or two of the local telecom companies that are still investing in engineering here.

I'm not limiting myself to Dallas. My original comment was more about the propensity of recruiters to not look outside the local area of the job they are trying to fill. If you aren't already in the area the recruiters are not beating your door down.

I've already got jobs for software developers delivered to my inbox from the copious amount of recruiters emailing me... So incredibly annoying! I swear, they just spam every potential candidate for every job. The WORST!

How many of those are CyberCoders? I've heard that their software is setup so that every time a recruiter there does a search, it e-mails every single matching candidate in their database. A single search results in roughly 5000 e-mails. As a result, they dwarf the e-mail volume of every other recruiter out there.

What sites are you searching? I built a web scraper to help automate my job search in NOLA http://nolatechjobs.leesome.com/ I'd be happy to share the code with you and you could switch out the sites I'm scraping with the ones you look at. The whole thing runs on a cronjob that just re-generates the HTML every hour.

Right now when I look I usually use Indeed and StackOverflow. I gave up on the big boys (Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice) because the sites are so polluted by recruiters and the filtering tools are so poor. I'd love to try your scraper. I've thought about doing something like that before, particularly since I have started doing lots of web scraping for work and I am much more comfortable with it. Do you have any issues…

Nope, haven't run into any issues. I scrape Craigslist from RSS and the others from the HTML. I only hit the sites once an hour, and leave a unique browser string so they can filter me out of their analytics.

My e-mail is in my profile and I'll be happy to send over the code.
