So this is the product of quite a lot of hours of work. I know that most of you have no intention of moving to Germany and this is not relevant to you, but nonetheless I would be grateful for any feedback you can give me.

If by any chance you're a English-speaking employer on the area, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to send you an invitation to post your jobs.

Nice job! If I may ask, what percentage of the postings come directly from companies vs automatically filtering out non-english jobs? (I understand if you don't want to disclose this information)

Not a major thing, but "questions" is misspelt in the title text.

Thanks. It was only 3 weeks ago that I send a few invitations to companies to publish their jobs directly. Right now there are only 63 own jobs for 1183 external. I hope that changes in the future but I guess it will need time and more exposure. Typo fixed!

On a side note, if you want to know how a GO app + elasticsearch stuffed into a $5 digitalocean droplet looks like feel free to snoop around https://englishjobs.de/status/

Interesting stats. How did you set that up?

Old fashion manual way, just standard debian packages for nginx+elasticsearch and one go binary controlled under runit.

Thanks! There wasn't one for Germany and I needed it, so I scratched my own itch. if you have the knowledge go ahead and do it yourself!

I wonder how hard it would be to extend it for Austria.
