We put together a job board and a company database, so that people can see about the listings and have information about the company. Each listing page and company page works as a wiki, and can be edited to improve information about. Also, each page has a comment area in order to improve communication between job seekers, recruiters, and people who already work at the given company.
I'm pretty close to finish the section where people can build their resumes and list past experiences, education, and such. http://job4dev.com/my/resume
What else do we do? We have a twitter profile @job4dev (http://twitter.com/job4dev), custom RSS feeds, mailing lists. The fundamental features of this "app" you want are there.
All of this is free. The website is far from perfect, but our biggest problem right now is breaking the chicken-and-egg nature of a job site.
This is a side-project for now, the moment we get traction I can see myself jumping more into it to fix these smaller issues and bringing more features at a faster pace. For now I think all I'll be able to do is to use this monthly thread to do a shameless plug and tell of what's new. (Last month, for instance, we had no resume builder).
Let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated.
We're looking for someone full time and on site in San Francisco, CA.
Shoot me a line if you know someone who's looking. Specific skill set/languages is less important than just a kick ass software engineer. curt [at] zipzapplay.com
