Show HN: Searchable Who is Hiring?

12 points by ianbishop ↗ HN
My friend Angus (angusiguess) & I became annoyed trying to parse through the wonderful 'Who is Hiring?' threads looking for internships this summer, so we made a searchable version.

It's just the first roll out, we have some other stuff planned. It's important to note that this was all done programatically, so there is no possibility for 100% accuracy with most fields.

We would love to hear your feedback! If you have any more personal issues (ie, want your post removed), contact info is available in our profiles.

Great job! I would change the cursor to a pointer when I hover over jobs so that I know each job is 'clickable'.

EDIT: The filter doesn't work :(

Hey, in what case is the filter not working?

I typed in 'django' under technology. None of the links I clicked contained that word.

Thanks, I've tracked it down and we'll get a fix in shortly. Sorry about that!

I was in the process of building something just like this, for the very same reason. :)

Great job! Looks very useful. One comment: it isn't immediately obvious that clicking the table row opens the link. Maybe make it more obvious by using the mouse-over-link cursor change?

angusiguess
Mouse overs should be better now, thanks.

Clicked on "remote" then clicked the submit button and got "Mongo::OperationFailure in Posts#index "

Very useful, thanks. It would be quicker (and a bit less jarring) if instead of going to a new page with the listing details, the row you clicked on just expanded with the details inline.
