This is a great idea, if it works. If you need some help, I could chip in with some testing or coding.

I work on both sides of this issue, so I have a stake in it. As a developer, I'm not interested in opportunities with no context. As a recruiter, I only want to forward candidates that have an interest in, and whose capabilities fit with, the position! Otherwise, I'm just wasting everyone's time.

Would the resource you propose also decode jobs posted on recruiter web sites with no identity provided?

Thanks and yes that's the plan.

Over time as it collects more data I will be able to identify trends, identify repeat postings, etc. And it should be able to identify various companies based off keywords. So for example some companies have foosball tables as a popular benefit listed in the ads, that would narrow down the companies, coupled with location and social help, this should be effective.
