Neekanee is a job search engine I began developing when I became a stay-at-home dad. The motivation being I could eventually use it myself once I decide to reenter the workforce. It collects jobs directly from company websites (so no recruiter spam), and will index jobs even if they are PDFs or MS Word documents (via Tika). It also has a few features I've wished other job search engines had such as the ability to filter by company size, top-level-domain, etc. Would be interested to hear any feedback.

Great job! Can you add "telecommuting okay" filter?

mtoddh3• 14 years ago

Yep, I'll add that for companies. I might make the jobs themselves taggable as well...

Just a had quick look. I really like that way it shows the jobs directly from the company, no headhunter BS to deal with!

Any plans to bring in jobs that are relevant to other countries?

Yep, I'm planning on indexing more jobs from countries outside the US. Right now there are jobs from about 50 countries (http://www.neekanee.com/jobs_by_location/), it's just that the majority of them are concentrated within the US.
