@busmark_w_nika Thank you!
Hey Kaidoj, congrats on the launch! 👋 This is a really clever approach to uncovering hidden job opportunities by leveraging Google Maps data and scanning company sites directly. Definitely addresses a pain point beyond generic job boards.
As someone building AI tools for growth (@UNI AI), I appreciate the focus on finding those less visible opportunities. The multi-language detection and CSV export are great practical features too.
Question: How robust is the job detection on various company career page structures? Does it primarily look for specific keywords/links, or does it use more advanced parsing to identify potential roles even on non-standard pages?
Smart idea, especially for local searches. Wishing you a successful launch! 🗺️💼
