    • Solid looking application! Pretty clever to auto-filter the jobs when filling out the 'subscribe'-bar, as i thought it was the 'search'-bar ;)

    • The amount of jobs comparable to the other whoishiring aggregator isn't very good but the ability to subscribe is an incredible addition. Good job!

    • What an ace site! Nice one! But... we are hiring too, but our company doesn't show up! What gives?

    • I like it! For Tanium, it looks like your salary filter is hiccuping a bit: "$80-170k+, bonuses, equity (RSUs)" became "$80-170k+, , Equity ()" which is not wrong, but definitely…

Requests

  • Filter for product manager and intern roles

    From 3 comments
    • Great work. Question, Product Managers don't naturally fit in your 3 pre-determined job types. How do I get notified about them?

  • Merge location variants and fix spelling of San Francisco

    From 2 comments
    • You might consider merging "NYC" and "New York City" and "New York, NY", or returning the superset of those three whenever one of those terms is entered for the location.

    • Am I crazy or is the default city of San Francisco spelled incorrectly?
