Curate

Inspiration

People constantly have to search across the entire internet for a collection of jobs that applies to their interest, location and employer. Our tool aims to solve this with a good UI and UX

What it does

Currently, gathers all info from Costar and Parson job listings and stores them in our API backend as JSON When a user provides key words and contraints, we filter and provide an adequete list of job titles, link to apply, job info and company

How we built it

Using Chrome Extension to gather and package the data from each Platform/Company with JavaScript and Front-End manipulation, and the python flask API to recieve, store, analzye and present the data to the user on an HTML view

Challenges we ran into

Formatting, reverse engineering new sites, using Flask as a website, packaging data in JSON and parsing through, HTML parsing errors

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Ease of use, very specific to intended area of expertise and location that they prefer, etc

What we learned

How to use Chrome Extensions, DOM manipulation, reverse engineering, API testing, JSON parsing, website creation

What's next for Curate
