react job scraper
this is a sample project to showcase my javascript / react abilities. it's a web scraper which looks up the spotify jobs site and displays a list of all the listings for Stockholm.
setup
to run, run yarn start or npm start in the project directory. the app should open in the development mode on http://localhost:3000.
usage
upon loading the app, all the job titles are displayed. clicking on a title will expand the job details, including:
- a link to the original listing,
- job description (fetched asynchronously upon clicking)
- job type (see below)
- required years of experience
the app tries to classify jobs into job types by checking the title and description for certain keywords, and displays one of the following values:
- professionals — for lead / senior positions intended for experienced developers
- graduates — for junior positions intended for recent graduates
- unknown — the app was unable to identify the job type
a question mark next to the job type indicates uncertainty in the prediction.
improvements
this project could be extended with the following improvements:
- paginate results and allow filtering, e.g. on job type
- research the wording and elements used in job ads to better classify job types
