#32Really awesome tool - I'm not sure how (or if) it handles multiple locations, but the listing for TrueCar gets plotted at "Santa Monica Way, SF" rather than Santa Monica and SF.

#33Fusionbox (Denver Colorado) is displayed in a Dutch Themepark. On top of the rollercoaster 'The Python', because their location is 'Python'. http://whoishiring.it/#!/search/Europe/51.6468119/5.05352849... http://rcdb.com/897.htm
L.A. is also mapped to Augsburg, Germany: http://whoishiring.it/#!/search/Europe/48.3251666937866/10.8...
There is also one instance where it got mapped just outside Shreveport, Louisiana: http://whoishiring.it/#!/search/Europe/32.45273455061945/-93...

#34This pretty much sums up the state of the UK job market : https://imgur.com/qLzxV7U
it's not just quantity, either. In the UK developers make like £25k (which is $39K). I'm not even joking - http://www.payscale.com/research/UK/Job=Front_End_Developer_... That's £25k for someone with both front-end and PHP back-end skills. Less than 10% of these jobs reach $54K - according to that, if you're earning $54K in the UK you're in the top 10% of developers. That £25k median isn't all that much more valuable…
Anecdotally those figures are a load of BS. Devs in the UK are badly underpaid in comparison to the US but not that badly. Well I think that's the case anyway.

#36Can you allow users to submit location corrections please. You've got a job that's in Canberra smack in the middle of Australia.

We do have the NHS though.

#38Ha! There's a small town in southern Ontario called Ajax and it seems to have placed a job there with AJAX in the description. This is a reasonable error though I think. Very cool overall :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9816153
Also, there are four jobs with the text "Amazon" in the listing being shown on the map in Amazon, Montana...
And a Scala job has been placed in a town called Scala in Italy, not far from Naples.

It may correct itself as you zoom in. It seems to group geographic areas together in somewhat centralized locations to avoid having too many bubbles at a particular zoom level.
If you zoom in on the east coast of the US, for instance, jobs are grouped between NYC and Boston and the location of the bubble doesn't make much sense until you zoom in further and see them separated.
