Came here to mention Tika. I just set up a small POC with the 'full' tika docker container - default OCR bundled (with... 5 languages? English, Spanish, etc). I parsed a PDF and when looking at the output, I noticed 'united

Some users want 'all the jobs'. Many other users would prefer access to job listings/postings with a bit more integrity behind the them. Submit something, get an acknowledgment, perhaps limit number of applications to reaso
