I created a site to collect jobs posted at Hacker News.

hackernewsjobs.com

I am kind of not in love with this idea. HN job posts right now attract people who actually read HN. This job site attracts everyone, including recruiters. How do I keep my postings from landing on sites like this?

You could simply ask applications for their HN username.

Or would many of your applicants be hesitant to share this information with a potential employer?

I could do a lot of things, but it looks like only have to do this thing because my job postings will be repurposed for someone's side project.

It's not a side project, it's a business project.

The so-called hackernewsjobs website is built on the JobBoardsHQ platform. The email address shabda@agiliq.com reveals that the poster works at Agiliq, which develops JobBoardsHQ (as a business, not a side project).

Wait, seriously? You seriously just exposed my email for easier spam harvesting?

You took my email address, which I wrote as joseph at metaoptimize dot com, and then you converted it into something that spammers can much more easily grep for and harvest? http://www.hackernewsjobs.com/apply/contractor-at-metaoptimi...

This is not a good way to get the community on board.

p.s. You also spelled the name of my company wrong, but I appreciate the Britishism.

He's also got listings from my company from back in February.

Also, where did "Equity Available: YES" come from?

And, seriously: NO. You you may NOT interpose a form for applying to Matasano jobs in front of potential applicants.

Not cool.

I have removed the listing.

I hate to have to be "that guy", but Please remove all the listings from the Site. ;(

You're violating people's trust, and making them less likely to post to HN in the future.

It would be best to keep the job board, but re-target it.

I removed the listing. Sorry, the emails were using a mailhide filter, which broke without me noticing.

I think you mean you used http://www.jobboardshq.com/ to create a site that collects jobs.

We created that site as well. :)

http://www.linkup.com - scrapes corporate boards and gets direct feeds from companies. (if you guys are looking for other sources of job info)

I also run http://www.startupshiring.com which scrapes jobs directly from startup job pages (not job boards).

Or just subscribe to the RSS feed of all the jobs from any Y Combinator company: http://www.linkup.com/rss/?feed_id=chfx2co1yjrzl7now3papp2w

It is good to see many HN meta services started like Heacker Monthly, Newsletter, Hackerslide etc. It kind of speaks for popularity and value of HN. I am feel really good to be a part of such community.

How did you collect these jobs? Automatic screen scraping or manually?

Nice. Adding a location filter wouls make it even nicer.

Definitely needs a location filter and/or location displayed in the list view (like 37signals job board does). Sometimes you just can't use a filter – for example, being in Europe I would be willing to relocate to London or Berlin, but Seattle is more unlikely (because of distance and paperwork involved) – exact filter would be less helpful than an additional column in the list.

Thanks, Ill see about adding a location filter. Here is something in the meanwhile.

Search needs tweaking:

http://www.hackernewsjobs.com/search/?q=raleigh

None of those pages include the query.

1. Removed tptacek's listing

2. Removed bravura's (Metaoptimize) listings.

3. Emails were supposed used Mailhide, its a Django filter, which broke, and which renders things in plaintext on failing. :(

4. I wrote I created as it uses jobboardshq.com, which is another site we created. (thenayr's comment.)

(Sorry guys, I was sleeping or I would have responded earlier.)

> Emails were supposed used Mailhide, its a Django filter, which broke, and which renders things in plaintext on failing.

People shouldn't be angry at you for "exposing [their] email addresses" if you can parse "A at B dot com."

jobs, unless you meant Steve Jobs.

Edited. Collecting Jobs would be cooler though!

You can add new ones obviously, or if you want to edit any listing I have done for you, email me at <hnusername>@agiliq.com

Don't you mean shabda@agiliq.com ?

Why would you put my email address in a spam-harvestable form on your website (http://www.hackernewsjobs.com/apply/contractor-at-metaoptimi...) if you won't do the same with your email address?

I think its cool :P Cool!

Why the downvote? Fact is this guy made something that, even if he didn't take into account all the spam controls, tried to better something. Cut him some slack...?
