A personal tool for scraping jobs from various tech-centered job sites, applying to them, and tracking those applications.
JobBard is a simple and ongoing tool geared toward finding users a software engingeering job. It works by scraping various tech-centered companies from across the web for job postings. While still a work in progress, JobBard aims to not only give software developers a list of up-to-date jobs but give them a simple web interface to track their application progress with multiple companies at once.
No- better. Why? Job boards focus on keeping you on their site to view and apply to jobs. JobBard finds and links to jobs on every site including Stackoverflow, Github, and Google careers to name a few.
Standard job boards also have a key problem. The application tracking system isn't built for the user. JobBard gives the user a system to track application statuses for jobs (again, from every source). This included changing application status (phone interview, on-site, etc), taking down notes, seting up interview times, etc.
The chrome extension further augments applying and tracking applications. It will automatically fill out fields for things such as name, education, race & gender information, etc. All of this user information is stored with your JobBard user account. In addition clicking the submit button automatically begins tracking the application.
1. Find 10+ job sites that may have jobs relevant to your abilities.
2. Search all sites individually.
3. Find jobs you like.
4. Take time filling out each application individually.
5. Copy information about jobs you've applied to into an excel spreadsheet to track your status.
6. Take time syncing excel spreadsheet with your interview status, contacts, and future applied jobs
1. JobBard scrapes jobs from multiple sources and links you to them.
2. Clicking a link to a job will auto-fill the application form for you.
3. When you click the submit button, the job is automatically being tracked in your job applications.
4. Job applications can be quickly accessed to see relevant information, schedule interviews, change status, take notes, and more.
