Tiny Chrome Extension
I made a simple one-day hack in the form a Chrome extension called Header Hunter. It's a simple Google Chrome extension that will show a small alert whenever you visit a website that returns recruitment messages in the HTTP headers.
A few companies started adding recruitment messages via "X-Recruiting", "X-Hacker", "X-Hire" or "X-Jobs" HTTP headers. Without any centralized job site, this extension turns your browser into a job listing app, by reading these headers when they are present. All web admins have to do is to include one of these headers with a custom message to the user.
You can contribute to the development on GitHub.
