The University of Toronto outsources their HR job posting to Taleo, who
provide an unpleasant user experience. Because this interfered with regular
and casual visits to the site, I created a system for automatically scraping
the jobs I am eligible for. Now, I automatically receive a notification
whenever the jobs are updated, and I can view new jobs with a single click.
The system is public, and can be used by anyone.
