We have it so that whenever a company shows interest in a resume, an email is sent (unless the user turns off that option in their settings).
Thanks for the comment about ideas on locality. We had felt that being too fine grain until later would cause people to be just as frustrated. For instance if a person wants a job in New York City, is he talking NYC and all of its surrounding regions, or just NYC. Many cities are very carved up into smaller locals to the point of being too fine grained at times. We will try to figure out an inventive way of having the best of both worlds. Ideas are definately appreciated.
One thing that is tough for job sites is that zip codes are not supported around the world. In addition to what we have, we intend to implement an area around a zip code for specific countries. It is on our "todo" list.
jobbank.com is built out down to the local level for every country of the world.
The ability to search to a local level is as easy as turning a switch on, but we are still in a growth stage and are holding off on doing so.
Thank you for the comment though. What you are looking for will come soon.
At http://www.jobbank.com/ we were a bit surprised and happy to hear about this topic on slashdot. Having come out with jobbank.com this last summer in full production mode, we have been soliciting feedback constantly but it comes back to us in trickles. As a result of the feedback, however, we recently added tools and will soon have a new, more colorful look.
When we decided to create a job site business we found that many of the sites out there currently were not just excessively expensive, but difficult to use. We were hoping to provide an alternative.
As a developer there, it is a challenge to keep making the site better, but I will try to make sure the feedback here goes right back into the work we are doing.
