Show HN: Queby, your personalized job stream.
que.byWe’ve just opened up our public beta, and while we’re very much still early in our process, I am excited to show it to everyone, get comments, and hopefully get people using it.
How does this work? Are you scraping job listings directly from companies job pages and updating it in real time or what? What filtering options are available?
I dislike that I have to sign up to get any info about how the product works.
We’ve tried to give users examples on the studies page to give an idea of how it works. You can see those here: http://www.que.by/studies
I had previously also put together a quick youtube video showing some of it as well, you can see that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6tkUa9OtlI
A summary here is that our main tool available right now allows the user to use a bookmarklet (we’re also working on browser extensions) to scrape the page being viewed and send it to our systems for parsing and saving. This means that any posting you find can be saved without relying on sessions, cookies, etc to keep track of it. And once it is in your saved list you have control over when it is removed, so that even if the job expires on the originating site you still have a record of it.
You can keep your positions private, or publish them to a public feed which others can then subscribe to thus getting a feed of positions you’ve found. Say you are interested in helping to support the Ruby on Rails community and you’d like to keep a list of good Rails jobs that is sharable with others. Anything you save to this queue is published to the feed and anyone can subscribe to it.
That's the quick-ish intro, we have more coming, but this is the start, and we’re hoping to get feedback and people using it.
