An automated solution to filter through new and relevant job vacancies without manually reparsing every job vacancy daily while attempting to remember those that have or have not yet been seen. Originally designed for the UK Government "Civil Service Jobs" website, but expanded for compatibility with the Department for Work and Pension's "Find a Job" website.
Vacancy Checker requires the Requests and BeautifulSoup4 modules, with
relevant documentation linked below:
Run vacancy_checker.py, which will operate according to functions defined
within functions_urls.py, functions_vacancies.py, and
functions_general.py.
If locally-stored vacancies_<website>.json or urls.json files do not exist,
these will be automatically generated using current vacancy listings, or user-
defined job vacancy website URLs, respectively.
If vacancies_<website>.json does exist locally, job vacancies will be
updated and then compared against those active during the last time the Vacancy
Checker was run. New vacancies, if present, will be listed alongside a prompt
for them to opened in separate tabs within your default browser.
If a job vacancy website URL is missing, or identified as invalid or expired, you will be prompted to update the URL.
