Direct Job Alerts – open-source tool to get new jobs directly from employers

Direct Job Alerts is an open-source tool that sources job postings directly from employers' own career pages, bypassing aggregators like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor. It periodically scrapes target company career sites and sends email alerts when new positions match user-defined filters (keywords, location, seniority). The project is written in Python and runs locally or on a server. - Job aggregators (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.) often show stale, reposted, or third-party listings; many good roles are filled before appearing there. - Many companies post openings only on their own careers page. - This tool lets a user compile a list of target companies and get notified the moment a relevant role appears on the employer's site. - Open-source (MIT license) means anyone can inspect, modify, or self-host the code for free, with no data shared with a middleman platform.
