Company Career Sites

Plenty of companies that hire remotely post their roles on their own career site first, and job boards copy them later, if at all. Watching those sites by hand means a bookmark folder nobody opens. Seekter reads them for you on every run: each company's own job board, through the public feed its careers page is built on, so a posting is seen on the first run after it goes up.

The Shared List

Seekter ships with a list of companies that hire from their own career sites, most of them remotely, and what each one says about where it hires. Every company on it was checked against its own board. You can browse the whole list, with whether each one hires remotely, in its offices or both, on the Companies page.

During setup, right after the job sites, Seekter shows the companies from that list that fit you, in three groups:

• A: the company says it hires in your country, in a region that includes it, or anywhere.
• B: the company hires remotely in a region that includes you, but doesn't promise your country, or doesn't say where at all.
• C: the company hires for its offices. Shown only if you would relocate.

A company that names its countries is held to them: a company that hires in eight EU countries doesn't fit someone living elsewhere in Europe, whatever its region says. The sectors you ruled out during setup are left out too.

The default is to keep them all. You can drop any, and a company with nothing open in your field today is still worth keeping, because boards change every week.

Already Set Up?

Ask Claude to show you the companies from the catalog that fit you and add the ones you want. It works out the fit the same way setup does and adds only what you keep.

Adding a Company of Your Own

Name the company, or paste a link to one of its postings. Claude finds which system its careers page runs on and the board's own id, and adds the company once its board answers. A company whose board can't be read is not added on a guess: a wrong id looks exactly like a company with no openings.

Seekter reads the boards of these systems directly:

• Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and SmartRecruiters
• Recruitee, Personio, Teamtailor, PeopleForce, Pinpoint and Gem
• Workday
• amazon.jobs, Amazon's own career site, which needs your amazon.jobs account to apply

A company on another system can still be applied to whenever one of its postings turns up in a search or in your links; it just can't be watched.

What a Run Does With Them

Every run reads each watched company's board, keeps the postings whose titles match yours, and puts them through the same filters as everything else: seniority, language, the countries you can work in, the sectors you won't touch, and one application per company within the window you set. A posting that passes is applied to on the company's own form. See The Daily Run.

When a company moves to another system, its old board stops answering, and the run reports it instead of going quiet. Tell Claude, and it finds the new board.

Adding a Company for Everyone

The shared list lives in the Seekter repository, in reference/employers/catalog.json. A company goes in when its own board shows that it hires remotely and Seekter can read that board. The catalog's README has the rules: public facts only, and never anything about anyone's applications. Sharing What Seekter Learns explains how to send a change back.
