Built HexHire.io — a centralized feed for all Elixir jobs

Great site!
RSS feed would be nice feature.
Thank you!

Thanks! Really appreciate it

RSS is a great idea — I’ll add a feed soon.

Out of curiosity, how do you typically use RSS for job boards?
(e.g., personal reader, Slack, automation, etc.)

It helps me design it in the most useful way.

I am using https://miniflux.app/

I’ve added RSS feed: HexHire - Elixir Jobs
Let me know how it works for you!

It works, thank you!

Do you currently prune/check this list? Several postings link to dead/expired posts. I think it would be neat idea, and fairly straightforward, to implement:

1. daily checking the links and pruning broken/stale posts (could be simple as genserver with oban)
2. add a simple button for people to mark posts as stale/broken (provide immediate ui update)
3. prune posts marked as stale/broken (once verified)

As for the automated checking, you could use req and even implement a simple pre-trained ML model with bumblebee to determine whether it thinks a particular link and its response is dead or not (if for instance, you need to parse the html). Lots of different routes you could go but the result being an automated pruning system with the ability for people provide live feedback so other visitors can quickly see what post might be even worth pursuing further.

I once made a simple job posting site tailored to architects (years ago and in a small region only, no longer existant), so I appreciate anyone trying to provide improved experiences for job seekers. And imo, any new job resources website should strive to alleviate the issue of stale postings (among others), otherwise it kind of just perpetuates the same problems people encounter.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback and concrete implementation ideas — I completely agree with you.

Fighting stale postings is a core problem with job boards, and without addressing it properly an aggregator just adds more noise. I was already planning a community reporting feature, but your comment pushed me toward implementing a combined approach: automated checking plus manual verification and community feedback.

The first step will likely be automated link checks (via background jobs) to flag broken or obviously expired postings, followed by admin confirmation before pruning. From there, I plan to add a simple “mark as stale / broken” action so the community can provide immediate feedback for other visitors.

Extracting and classifying the HTML content of apply links is something I’m actively considering as well. A more advanced ML-based approach (like you suggested) is probably a later iteration, but it’s definitely on my radar once the fundamentals are solid.

Really appreciate you sharing both the ideas and your past experience building a niche job board — feedback like this is gold and helps shape Hexhire in the right direction.

Nice work @tspenov!

In the “All locations” dropdown, there is twice the “Europe” option. I took a screenshot of what I see:

Thank you for the RSS feed feature, it’s great

Thank you! Fixing shortly

Added manual report of the apply link and a job with automatic check for dead links. Still adjusting some things manually but I think it should be better.
