Setup/Installation Requirements:

Run Locally:

1. Clone this repository to a local machine with Python. Install Selenium and Beautiful Soup. Alternatively, a VENV can be used.
2. Run program with python3 then the file you wish to run. Follow prompt to input Lever or Greenhouse.io careers page you wish to scrape. Must be a https://boards.greenhouse.io/XYZ careers page or https://jobs.lever.co/XYZ. Cannot be custom or embedded job listings. Lever offers the following query strings: Location Type, Location, Team, Work Type. Users can add optional relevant query string filers formatted like the following ex: ?location=Melbourne. Greenhouse does not offer filtering by query string.
3. Results are printed to terminal.

Known Bugs/Issues:

• Script doesn't work on employer site embedded greenhouse.io pages like this one: https://www.airship.com/company/careers/. In this instance a standard greenhouse.io page is available here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/airship, but this is not always the case
• Script doesn't work on non-standard greenhouse.io page like this one: https://boards.greenhouse.io/alma because the job title is formatted in a non-standard method. It is not in an h1, rather it is in a p tag and bolded. This script works only when page formatting is programatically generated.
