CSO : Display countries/cities of employers [closed]

Question

Considering all discussions on SO and CSO are in english, it might be interesting, on CSO, to display some kind of map showing where employers are from -- and/or where they want to recruit.

I'm thinking about something like a google map with a marker for each employer, which would be visible without having to file a CV -- not displaying too much informations, of course ; just country/city would be quite nice, actually.

It would allow users that are not from the US/UK to know if careers could be interesting for them, before putting their CV online (ie, there is no point in paying to file a CV if there is no employer from our non-US country).

There is already the possibility for us to indicate where we want to work -- this would be exactly the same thing, indicating where employers are recruiting.

Answer 1

We now have public employer search statistics for CV holders, under the stats tab -- just click "show detail>>" to expand.

This list is queried dynamically about every hour, and reflects current live data.

(we may also enhance this to show a map of every query in lat/long as well)

Answer 2

Ultimately it's a chicken-and-egg problem. Employers will only be interested if there is a robust pool of CV's, and applicants will only be interested if there are enough employers in the system to make it worth the money.

Judging by the track record of J & J, I have no doubt that this has been beaten to death internally and that they'll come through it to lead the pack. I imagine the $29 initial offering is supposed to go a long way to solve the problem, and it probably will - but it would definitely be more attractive to us peons if we knew what the picture looked like locally.
