How are you handling the data? I see your just asking companies to email you, but then somehow you have positions - do you pull them automatically or do you process them by hand? I ask because we just finished a job round, and it was so annoying posting our job on all the specialist job boards that apply to us. Every single one had a different enough form that I had to spend time working out how it would be displayed, what went where, dealing with the various problems (eg, we offer full time and part time and the number of sites that make you choose one was frustrating.). I would love there to be a standard data file format where I could have written up our job once, then just uploaded the same file/URL to each job site. That said, well done for starting this and I wish you luck in tackling this problem.

At the moment, what we ask is just 4 things and then, we ask the company 4 or 5 different open opportunities to include on the website. We then include those by hand, linking to the original company's job post. Agreed this is annoying for job posters and we can discuss more how we could help you on that as well

  > then, we ask the company 4 or 5 different open opportunities to include on the website. Wait, so the company might have more job positions than the few you list on the website? I didn't realise that when I browsed, that should definitely be made clear. Actually, if I can just email you a link to our own job page on our website that sounds nice and easy ... For me :-) But, if you want this project to survive long term, you really need to sort out systems so your not doing manual work like that by hand. I've seen several projects in other areas that relied on the founder doing that, and they usually stop after a year or two. Your time is more valuable and is better spent on other things, too.

    Yes the idea is to make easy for those who want to post jobs. Just a link to your job page is enough, but bear in mind your jobs descriptions not use words like tech-native, ninja, etc At the momwnt we can do manually but yes, in the long run we need to automate those job posts

Just had a quick Google - https://schema.org/JobPosting https://schema.org/JobPosting has a data format
