Launching Devvjob

We're pleased to launch Devvjob, a search engine for software developer vacancies in the UK.

Devvjob indexes active job listings for software development vacancies in the UK. We use NLP and AI to try to understand the job copy to try to filter out some of the lower quality listings that you find online. There's a lot of room for improvement in this regard, but the scope is virtually endless and it's currently only an MVP, so we had to draw the line somewhere.

On the subject of identifying lower quality listings, one of the things we found was that some agencies repeat the same advert many, many times across multiple locations. The worst agency we found for duplicated adverts was Noir Consulting.

This is from a listing for a job in Bath:
