I started JobBoardSearch about four years ago as a simple directory of niche job boards (A static HTML file with a dozen job boards)
One particular think I'm proud of: I didn't scrape these niche job boards and add them to a dabatabase. The 800+ job boards currently listed were submitted organically by their ownres.
Lots of their job boards provide a job feed (API, XML or RSS), I fetch those feeds and use the data in serveral different ways.
Each job board has its own page in JBS, where I show jobs from that board. I call this the "meta" part of the site.
The same feed powers a few other things I built:
- A subreddit bot that automatically post jobs every hour to the /r/jobboardsearch subreddit, which has grown to 26k memebers.
- A free telegram bot that sends personalized job alerts based on custom settings: keywords, locations, industry, candence, etc. The Telegram community passed 6k members.
- The main job search itself.
The interesting part is that the same data creates several distribution channels (Including AI citations that keeps growing).
Over time, I turned it into much more than a simple directory. I've add
