My idea is to create a service similar to google news but regarding job offers.
There are thousands and thousands of sites dedicated to job offers.
Some of these sites are specific (e.g computer related job offers), other are more or less geographic limited.
For someone looking for a job this is a total mess.
I live in Portugal (a small country, circa 10 millions people) and is almost impossible to follow all sites with job offers.
To make things worst, some of these sites copy job offers from other places, so I end up seeing the same offer over and over.
I follow most of these sites trough RSS feeds (using google reader) and because most of them just put a summary in the RSS feed I never know if it is the same offer or not.
And because usually they don't publish RSS feeds for a specific geographic location or a specific field I have to go trough hundreds of uninteresting offers to find one that can be interesting for me.
Using plain google search is not useful: like news, the job offers loose importance after one or two weeks and the noise is so high that makes impossible to find a job offer. Any query that we put in google ends up finding hundreds and hundreds of job related sites but without any specific job offer for our search.
So, the features that I expect from such a service:
- Aggregate job offers;
- Group related job offers;
- Catalog job offers by field;
- Catalog job offers by geographic location;
- Offer search based on field and geographic location.
