really? there are lots of job boards for remote jobs -- https://www.wfh.io , https://weworkremotely.com/ , http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ , https://jobs.github.com/ , etc.

Yes, but a lot of those are "remote - US only".

i look at those boards regularly, some jobs are US-only but not all. on https://www.wfh.io, since march we've had 19% of jobs posted that are open to those in a particular country only.

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.

I am not sure. I think I've seen leads from non-US companies before but I may be remembering wrong.

That's an interesting error message to show the user...

I think it's just a standard 5xx error on a Heroku hosted site.

It's the default production Rails 4 error message. On development it gives you a stack trace.

What is the search radius on this? Will I only get jobs for the specific location I enter? It's a great start, and I hope you can continue to develop it. Being in Dallas I end up having to actively search out opportunities when I am looking, because the recruiters rarely come to me.

What sites are you searching? I built a web scraper to help automate my job search in NOLA

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.

I'd like to signup but still errors out after submitting the form.

You have to put a location apparently.

no you shouldn't have too... the database seems to be the bootleneck. on my plan heroku limits concurrent connections to 20. just try to sign up again...again, sorry about that, i didn't carefully plan to be on the frontpage

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 with sites that actively or passively discourage scrapers?
