The good news is that I finally managed to get into Yahoo! Pipes. How have you fared? The bad news is that no one in our little community has done anything with it yet (search:recruiting). Quick, first one to do something cool with it gets…
well, good question. I’m just sitting here thinking about it.
On the other hand, our active job seekers seem to have the right idea.

There’s a ton of chatter about this product and a lot of reactions similar to: “What do I do with this?” This link to O’Reilly’s Radar might help begin to answer that question.
I was playing mad scientist with Pipes on Friday and started getting the hang of it, the canvas is pretty cool.
Check out –
Yahoo Pipes Jobs (Indy Sales Jobs)
I did the same query on all of these sites and captured their RSS feeds -
JobCentral
Simplyhired
Jobster.com
Indeed.com
Google Base
If you do a run on the “Indy Sales Jobs” pipe you will see a mashup of the jobs from all of those sources. This is a very crude example of mashing-up jobs from many sources. Go in and add sources, operators, truncate better, or whatever.. But at least try it out. This looks to become an incredible FREE mashup delivery system, and Pipes should be able to deliver every company job from every source on the web for FREE to anyone.
Pretty good stuff, but there’s more to come ;o)

Nice Chad! I agree – there’s so much we can do now but web services like these just starting to be used to their potential. It’s going to be great figuring it out as we go along.
Cheers
