For those interested by the stack:

- RoR, twitter bootstrap and some jquery.

- The search is powered by Algolia.

- The server is on a OVH dedicated server.

- Deployment with Capistrano and Active Job is paired with sidekiq :)

Also something that is not mentioned anywhere on the website. Job posted are distributed to +- 20 US universities(USC, UCSD, Cal Tech, Standford, ...) and few French computer science schools.

And I forgot to mention, it's 100% right now.

OVH, Algolia... Is that built by French people?

Correct sir. I'm French :) However I chose Algolia because the service is spot on and I'm a long time fan of OVH. They're have a really good service and they are cheap!

+1 from me. They're hard as hell to get hold of due to businesses buying them up as soon as they become available, but if you set up a simple autorefresh extension on their product page and leave it running on a second monitor, you might get lucky.

OVH quality seems to be changing dramatically. I tested one of the new vps offers and it was totally laggy, with freezes and disconnects. But what really disappointed me was the fact that I got zero reaction from OVH support, even after three emails - seriously, no reaction. This is new to me, they have always played very well, but this was very bad.

And if you built it on Solr or Elasticsearch, you would have facets for free as well. E.g. I'd be able to see which countries have more demand for a particular skills I have.

Just a thought, not a critique as such.

Good idea and great job on the site. You've taken the good bits of Bootstrap and made it your own. If you style the pagination it'll be even better!

I really like it, it is going directly to my bookmarks, I would like to see how it grows, and also maybe one day I will find something in Houston. I'm wondering how are you getting the job posts?? Copy and paste from other websites? Sending emails to companies to let them know about your website? Maybe some API?

I'd like to see something like this for jobs that are available for Remote Workers.

It's in the pipeline sir!

I'm curious, what are you using activejob/sidekiq for?

Delayed email.
