The big dream is all job industries. However, without a good list of skills / industries to separate searchers from each other, we're SOL. We're lucky with tech jobs because of StackOverflow - their job feed comes in with tags; and once we have those tags, we can infer them from other jobs' content. But we need the industry's tags first.
Currently job-posters who create jobs can create tags in the processes, but that won't go fast enough to enable all searching industries. One solution I've looked at is to use a skills-database API like ItsYourSkills; but they're insanely expensive (that one is $10 per 50 API calls.... remember: autocomplete). Another option is to try to find general job boards which provide tags in the RSS feed (or easy to HTML-scrape).
Something I've been batting around is to dump what we've got now to YML / JSON, and allow editing on Github. Slowly turning into an open-source tree/hierarchy of industry skills. I could even cobble a quick SaaS for managing industry tags (adding, upvoting, flagging-inappropriate, etc). This could act as a competitive free / open-source alternative to ItsYourSkills for those looking for a comprehensive skills file / API. Thoughts?
