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 completely useless. small companies in small cities don't post jobs in those job boards. its not worth it for them. posting a job at stackoverflow is something like 600 dollars.

i dont have an definite answer yet, all i know is, there must be a better way for finding jobs then google... right now i think i can offer this service, by just manually filling the system with high quality jobs matching all of my users critereas... someday i think this can be automated...

so this is more or less an mvp to see if people find value in the idea. the idea grew out of my own frustration of how much job boards suck. if you are not living in SF finding a job as a software developer is far from a solved problem...

It isn't as hard in all areas - while I was in DC, I was getting ~3 emails a day from recruiters. I was able to score in person interviews in hours, even unsolicited at meetups. Granted, in smaller places, getting a job in software engineering can be challenging, but it isn't too bad in many metropolitan locales, assuming you do the standard things software engineers should do to improve.

What do you mean by "assuming you do the standard things software engineers should do to improve"?

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!

Good for you. Forward some to me. I get three in a good month. Recruiters seem to forget Dallas exists.
