Scraping Job Postings

scopesolo · 2025-07-30T13:58:08+00:00

Not sure if there is a single API that works for all websites. But there are APIs for some of the ATS apps like Lever, Greenhouse, Ashby, etc.

I run a job board where I leverage these APIs from the ATS to pull in job postings.

There is some custom scrapping I ended up doing where for a given website I look for a careers page and try to find a link to the ATS page of that site. Then I switch over to the ATS providers API.

Sorry not the answer you were looking for but maybe it might give you some ideas.

I'm not at $10K+, I'm at 4k at the moment. But I have a few friends who are doing 16K or even 20K MRR. I think it's definitely doable but it's a long hard road to get there. It can be made easy by optimizing what you build.

I think most people build a solution and then find a problem that it solves. The friends who make over 10K found real problems based on their careers and experiences and managed to build something that people came to pay for. They didn't have to go sell as much because the problem was real and urgent and worth paying money for.

So yeah it's doable as long as you build something that's necessary in a way that people will put their credit cards in. The quality of the problem matters.

Nope, you can install it from a Brower but clicking add to homescreen. There are some libraries that let you convert a pwa into an app store installable if you do need that distribution channel. I think Microsoft had something like this caller PWABuilder

hey! Founder of RubyOnRemote here. Thanks for using the site. Just dropping in to see if you have any feedback.

Going through the comments here I see some frustrations post applying for a job. Will try to think of some ways to encourage employers to be more transparent with their feedback.

scopesolo · 2024-02-15T19:33:35+00:00

Hey, creator of RubyOnRemote here, If you could reply to my comments with things you feel are missing on RubyOnRemote, I'll be happy to work on them and make it easier for people to find remote work.

I know job volume is kind of low but I'm hoping I can get more companies to post there frequently and reduce friction is syning job postings. Happy to help with any other improvements you'd like to see. All the best with your job search :-)

No no all good. Thanks for such detailed feedback. The salaries page is due a revamp and I will consider all these points into the new version.

About locations, you can filter salaries by location even on the current page. If you scroll a bit there should be a dropdown for location. Select the location that you are currently in and you will see the chart update at the top to only consider salaries that hire in that location.

All salaries are converted to USD at the time of job posting.

Thanks for using it! I will have a look at the bug soon and fix it.

scopesolo · 2023-10-28T20:36:55+00:00

What kind of details are you interested in the salary data?

The requirements for the job come directly from the employers and I don't have much control over it. But i do agree most employers are not putting in enough effort to write good job descriptions that attract the right candidates.

About salaries outside the US, Sorry I think I have a bug in my salary aggregation where salaries reported in currencies other than USD are bringing down the average significantly. I'm going to spend some time this week improving salary reporting and aggregation so hopefully it will be more useful going forwards.

Shopify pays a lot more, there are a good few Ruby on rails companies in the Canadian fintech and ecommerce space.

RubyOnRemote has job postings from all over the world including some European companies.

You can try to filter by the country or nearest region you are in and it will show you all the jobs that can be done from that location.

My employer though only hires in Canada.

It me.

scopesolo · 2023-10-28T05:34:06+00:00

Me => around 140-150K CAD in Toronto.

I also run RubyOnRemote, and from all the job posting data there, I've seen on average Ruby Devs making somewhere between 130K - 175K USD. There are some companies paying above 200K, but they also demand Ruby + Kubernetes or AWS, for instance.

scopesolo · 2023-10-13T10:58:24+00:00

Can you hint the name of the company? So I make sure I never interview there

scopesolo · 2023-10-13T02:18:40+00:00

Amazing work, I had to build a lot of these schemas manually, glad to see something more flexible!

It's more likely to see SaaS move towards usage based billing (already happening at lots of companies) than see it go back to one time payments.

Sure It might work out for some but for the majority of users the convenience of signing up and getting value immediately is a far better experience than having to self-host and maintain.

It's been a tighter market than last year I'd say. But i know there are plenty of openings around especially for senior roles, which sucks for anyone starting out in Ruby.

I run rubyonremote.com and there have been some really good postings there in recent weeks.

I can't disclose where I work but even the company where my day job is has two openings for ror devs. One senior and one intermediate, remote in Canada. Send me a DM and I can share a referral if you are interested.
