Show HN: Remote job opportunities from scouring FB (jobscout.co)

Hey Hacker News,

Yesterday I made https://JobScout.co

It’s a remote job board that takes job opportunities out of Facebook.

Why make yet another remote job board? The market seems saturated at this point.

Here are some considerations on why I decided to make this product a reality:

I feel everybody is either copying Pieter Levels who owns remoteok.com, or using his API. This results in 100s of job boards promoting the same jobs, which then results in more applicants for the employer, but more competition for applicants.

With JobScout, I wanted to exploit a different source, Facebook, in order to get different kinds of jobs, which usually don’t get as much love and that you wouldn’t find on other remote job boards.

Feedback welcome

how do u scrape FB?

Thanks, go it. You can delete now
Typing php found two roles. Typing react found three a few of which overlapped with the php result. How many jobs do you have listed?
So far, we have 500+
Let’s make that 1,000+ now
