This is awesome. Seriously. I never go through the regular "Who is Hiring?" thread because I don't have time to comb through a humongous list of unfiltered text posts, 90% of which aren't relevant to me. There have been other attempts to format the thing, but this is the best I've seen so far.
One minor bug: I'm seeing a listing titled "---" that starts with "I am a Junior Front End Developer. I eventually want to go into...". Seems to have picked up a comment by accident and interpreted it as a job posting.
- delecti 11y agoIt's easy enough to just Ctrl+f for your location name, my biggest complaint is all the entries that don't say what their company does. It's all well and good that you're in my city and I'm familiar with the tools you use, but if you can't be arsed to include a single sentence description of why your company exists, I'm much less likely to care. Bonus points if your description isn't buzzword laden nonsense.
- christop 11y agoDescriptions would be great, but without regex support and a list of every town in your area, Ctrl+F doesn't really help. A map is a much nicer alternative to trying "San Francisco", "Bay Area", "SF", "Oakland", "Berkeley", "Silicon Valley", "Palo Alto", "Menlo Park" etc..
- delecti 11y agoAh, I imagine that problem is worse for that area. "Seattle" is pretty much just "Seattle".
- Symbiote 11y agoIt's not just there. I was searching for London, Reading, Cambridge, Guildford etc, then also for any major city in western Europe. United Kingdom, England, Britain... The map is loads better :-)
- ownagefool 11y agoI happen to live in Guildford. Are you local?

- bobbles 11y agoThis has become far more annoying now that many descriptions include something like "We have offices in xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx" etc. but are only offering a position in one location.
- pyre 11y agoDepending on your locality you can use some simple keyword searches to find stuff. E.g. I can search for things like: "CA", "Canada", "Toronto", etc and get most of the relevant results. It might not work as well if you're in the Bay Area / Valley though.
- teirce 11y agoYou mentioned filtering attempts, one that someone posted earlier I've found works well, even if I only browse out of curiousity: http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me/ http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me/
- cddotdotslash 11y agoI've never understood why a single-page list of unfiltered, free-form text is the go-to method of doing hiring threads on HN. A Google Form with defined fields would at least keep things ordered more instead of the hundred different varieties of the same info we have now.
