I noticed the monthly "Who is hiring" threads have a bunch of tools available for conveniently searching them. But the "Who wants to be hired" threads have NO tools!

This kinda makes sense - a bunch of underemployed, highly skilled devs are looking through job postings. So they make tools to make it easier, and then share those tools. But the "Who wants to be hired" threads are mostly searched through by recruiters who may not program at all, or might be busy with their current employment stuff.

So here is a tool to search candidates.

Sorry if the code sucks (actually I know for a fact that it does! The word 'if' is being used to minimize here), I'm a security engineer mainly, not a SWE. But if you file an issue I'll respond promptly and fix any bugs. Also, feel free to contribute directly via a PR!

Haha, thanks! I've never really made anything in React, so I just used the two hooks I know (useState and useEffect) Feel free to contribute to the code :)
