What is it?
The APEC is an official French job board for middle management/executive jobs:
This project is an experiment on data collection, geocoding, indexing, analysis and visualization, based on APEC job offers. The result is interesting because:
- It provides real data to play with, with all its flaws (typo, mismatched fields, unsanitized inputs, etc.)
- It highlights trends, in recruiting cycles, in popular technologies, etc.
- It has to run on a Raspberry Pi 2 which brings amusing technical constraints.
Live demo:
Usage
