Hey guys / gals, after validating the idea of using the Google Maps API to search for jobs and a successful beta, we've relaunched - implementing much of the feedback and comments from both the HN and Reddit communities. Plus, we've got an all new design which I couldn't be more excited about!<p>Would love to get some feedback from you guys. What do you love? What do you hate? Any WTF's?<p>Currently we're focused on service type jobs and food service as these types of jobs are most dependent on location, but we'll branch out soon.<p>Thanks for your support!<p>The site can be found here: www.jobkaster.com<p>Regards,<p>Paul Chittenden

From a technical perspective its beautiful. but what's makes you different from the other 100,000 job sites? they all have mapping and you can save a search and get alerts and drop them on a map... So I guess I don't get it...<p>I currently work for a big job board and have been working in the JB online market for 10 years.
Quite frankly this falls under the great category of "why didn't I think of that". I like this idea and the website is beautiful. Please make with the mobile app that automatically provides directions to the job you applied for on the website. Well done you guys.
This is pretty awesome,I'm not even sure you need to branch out any time soon.
You guys could overlay the map with transportation options at some point in the future?
have you looked at mapbox.com? they make beautiful openstreetmap based maps -- which you can really use in powerful ways because you have access to the raw data. It will definitely pay off in the long run if you're looking to build a map-based app.<p>PS: not affiliated with mapbox in any way.
