Yes. Please add a way to reliably determine metadata on hiring posts. I wrote https://github.com/perspectivezoom/curated-hn-hiring but abandoned it after a couple months because it took way too much time to tag all posts. By far the most important information seemed to be location and/or remote filtering. Gaganpreet stepped up and is doing a pretty good job with https://github.com/gaganpreet/hn-hiring-mapped, but it's still not 100%. I would really love for whoshiring to provide this pipe-delimited template, and then optionally allow posters to conform to it. I also agree with danso's order of importance, but would also like to add that the location string(s) should be something geocodable by Maps APIs (ie, feed the string in and get an unambiguous LatLng).

I think this one is pretty okay to resolve some of the difficulties: http://curatedhnhiring.com/ It seems to have filters in place to find the right type of work (like remote, h1b, etc). What I'm curious to know is whether we can get a hold of this guys code and extend it even more (like use openstreetmap, etc.) Okay the code is available! https://github.com/perspectivezoom/curated-hn-hiring It looks to be written in Node and was last updated in November. A majority of the work is done (scraping, etc.) so we could just build on top of it now.

Creator of curatedhnhiring.com here. This is good stuff. I'm going to hand enter all the locations for October tonight, but you can compare your auto-generated September data against https://github.com/perspectivezoom/curated-hn-hiring/blob/gh.... Also, I don't know if you care about accommodating this, but a lot of HN Who's Hiring posts list multiple locations.

Source: https://github.com/perspectivezoom/curated-hn-hiring I wrote it in about a day, so there's a lot of jenky code. Just wanted to get it out there and see if it's worth spending more time on.
