Show HN: JobPatrol – Monitor if a website you are visiting has jobs open
- duiker101 8y agoI recently started looking for jobs again and I often like to see if the websites I visit have any open positions but I get annoying having to find the link to the career pages. So I made an extremely simple browser extension to make the process faster. That's all.
- duxup 8y agoCareer pages are the worst. I was applying for a job at one site... you had to watch several minutes of videos, and answer a questions about the videos before you could submit your application. It was like they put their high level "welcome to the company" videos in front of people applying. Brutal.
- newsbinator 8y agoIt's an HR hack for attracting desperate candidates.
- duiker101 8y agoWow that's the polar opposite of the experience I had. The last 2 jobs I had I applied via those pages and I always felt like it was a more direct way to get in touch with the team rather than going through a recruiter.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoYou shouldn't wait for a job listing to appear. If it's somewhere you would like to work approach them straight away and get to the front of the queue.
- duxup 8y agoI'm trying to add the chrome extension but when I choose add I get the error: "Could not decode image: 'icon.png'" Not sure if this is more me or the extension.
- duiker101 8y agoI'll check it as soon as possible, thanks for letting me know
- eapartridge 8y agoHey! Looks very interesting. Unfortunately, the link on the Readme.MD appears to be broken for Firefox.
