Show HN: Pandora-like Job Finder
- lefnire 11y agoI created Jobpig as a Pandora-like (thumb up/down) to filter jobs based on preferences, increasingly personalized over usage. It works more like Pandora than other learning boards; where jobs match users via hard-coded features (a la Music Genome Project) rather than collaborative filtering. These features include: location, commitment (eg full-time), company, source (eg stackoverflow), skills (eg python), and remote. Eg I personally seek React, Python, Postgres, Remote, Part-time, Contract. That's combo's a tough ask on most boards; but Jobpig finds the closest match to my criteria, and it's working quite well for me. It scrapes these boards[1] (discuss[2]), and employers can post custom jobs. It's open source[3]. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

- fprotthetarball 11y agoNeat idea. I am getting a ton of jobs that aren't matched location-wise, though. I started with "City, State" and one language as seed tags and hoped it would limit itself to jobs near me.
- lefnire 11y agoGTK. Yeah, I think the way location is handled has something to do with this (https://github.com/lefnire/jobpig/issues/1 https://github.com/lefnire/jobpig/issues/1). I'll investigate in coming days, thanks for pointing out
