This is super interesting, I had no idea about the middle man aspect of LinkedIn and Indeed. The job market is isn't getting any better with recent developments of AI.

It looks like there isn't a website yet for this? If not, do you plan to host this?

I am so DONE with applying to Indeed and LinkedIN to find a REAL job. I have been applying for some months now and I am tired of having to fight through recruiters, ads, and gig platforms pretending to be legitimate jobs. Here are some of the terrible things Indeed and LinkedIN does to PROVE they don't care about you getting a job.

Indeed HIDES the posted date even when you sort by date first which is a CRITICAL problem because you may end up wasting your time on a job that already has hundreads of applicants because the postings was weeks ago. However, you would never know, thus wasting your time even more.

LinkedIN does "Repostings" now where companies pay LinkedIN to have fake evergreen jobs that just stay up forever to collect your information with no intention of hiring anyone. This AND, fake gig platforms FLOOD the site so its hard to find real jobs. (Like Data Annotation).

I am just so tired of dealing with the fake job postings that I decided to take matters into my own hands. I figured I would try and figure out what companies work with what ATSs (Application Tracking Software) so I can just have a huge list of companies where I can just apply directly to them without Indeed or LinkedIN as the middle man.

Well, after about 2-3 weeks of collecting data from search engines, subdomain enumeration, etc - I was able to create an OpenSource ATS Aggregator job tracking app. It's called "OpenPostings" and it pulls in FRESH job postings that either:

1. Has a posted date that is within 24 hours (So you know the posting is fresh) 2. Has no posted date, and the job is still up/available.

This has over 31000+ companies where it is able to pull over 500000+ FRESH jobs DAILY.

I had Codex scaffold out a React Native application while I fixed all of its mistakes.

Here are all the ATSs it supports: • Workday • Ashby / ashbyhq • Greenhouse / greenhouse.io • Lever / lever.co • Jobvite / jobvite.com • Applicantpro / applicantpro.com • Applytojob / applytojob.com • Theapplicantmanager / theapplicantmanager.com • Icims / icims.com • Recruitee / recruitee.com • Ultipro / ukg • Taleo / taleo.net • BreezyHR • ApplicantAI • Career Plug • Career Puck • Fountain • Getro • HRM Direct • Talent Lyft • Talexio • Team Tailor • Talent Reef • Manatal • Zoho • BambooHR • Gem • Jobaps • Join • Saphrcloud

Once I had set it up and it was working for me to apply to a bunch of real jobs without Indeed or LinkedIN, I decided to setup an MCP server to it so you can have your AI/LLM model apply to jobs for you (As long as your AI has access to a browser). Here are the AI commands you can do with my app:

• Get back your applicant information • Find jobs that are related to your skillset • Generate dynamic cover letters based on your resume, experience and the job posting itself • Apply to jobs for your and update the app to show that an AI applied to a job for you in the application tracking section of the app (Requires your AI to have access to a browser)

- Its free - Its Open Source

It already has 39 stars on Github and people have said on Reddit and Youtube that it IMMEDIATELY helped them find REAL jobs. No recruiters, no sign up, no ads, nothing except a local seeded database, a react native app, and tons of jobs to apply to.

I genuinely hope that this gets ALOT of traction with the HOPE that we MAKE Indeed and LinkedIn ACTUALLY be more innovative rather than making it so hard for people to get jobs.
