Update: I scraped 5.3 million jobs with ChatGPT

This free tool uses AI to cut through the noise of ghost job postings.

Deep Dive

A developer, frustrated by ghost jobs and offshore agencies on LinkedIn and Indeed, discovered most companies post directly on their sites. Using ChatGPT's API, they built a system to scrape and structure raw job descriptions into JSON data. They've now processed 5.3 million jobs, including 273k remote roles, into a free public tool called Hiring.Cafe with powerful filters for titles, experience, and industry. The underlying prompt has been open-sourced.

Why It Matters

It provides a free, AI-powered alternative to contaminated job boards, giving job seekers direct access to real company postings.
