So this is the product of quite a lot of hours of work. I know that most of you have no intention of moving to Germany and this is not relevant to you, but nonetheless I would be grateful for any feedback you can give me. If by any chance you're a English-speaking employer on the area, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to send you an invitation to post your jobs.

On a side note, if you want to know how a GO app + elasticsearch stuffed into a $5 digitalocean droplet looks like feel free to snoop around https://englishjobs.de/status/ https://englishjobs.de/status/

  I would be happy if this became a trend.

  Interesting stats. How did you set that up?

    Old fashion manual way, just standard debian packages for nginx+elasticsearch and one go binary controlled under runit.

Great work! I wish there were one of these for Russia.

  Thanks! There wasn't one for Germany and I needed it, so I scratched my own itch. if you have the knowledge go ahead and do it yourself!

    I wonder how hard it would be to extend it for Austria.
    - drsintoma 12y ago
      not hard, but I'm now sure if there's enough offer/demand for Austria to justify losing the focus on Germany.

It would also be good if it show how much English is required for the job. Great work btw!

Nice job! If I may ask, what percentage of the postings come directly from companies vs automatically filtering out non-english jobs? (I understand if you don't want to disclose this information) Not a major thing, but "questions" is misspelt in the title text.

  Thanks. It was only 3 weeks ago that I send a few invitations to companies to publish their jobs directly. Right now there are only 63 own jobs for 1183 external. I hope that changes in the future but I guess it will need time and more exposure. Typo fixed!
