This looks like a good idea. OSNews attracts a fair share of talented techies and in today's market most are always on the lookout for better prospects. Perhaps I'll post opportunities for my new business when it gets off the ground. I'm hoping to work out the details within the next 6 months and if for some reason that doesn't flesh out I'll still be able to search this site for a job.

I like the aesthetics of site: smart but clean and fast. Looks good on FF2.0 Ubuntu 1024x768.
I wonder if there is going to be a clearer distinction needed between paying and non-paying positions? I think of them as two different types of search. I suppose that issues of this sort will become more apparent when the site starts to fill up with jobs content.

Backup Job Board to OSNews.com don't work neither in IE 6 nor FF 2.
Error message:
"Uh-oh! There has been an error of some sort!"
An optional integration with the OSNews.com account database would be helpful. If someone has an OSNews.com account he is also logged in when he visit the "jobs" sub-website; of course you can make it optional.
btw. "Careerbuilder" looks a bit out-of-place and don't fit with the rest of the website (even outsourced service can be customed in most cases). And the "Careerbuilder" has some graphical glitches in both IE 6 and FF 2.
But overall, good implementation.
P.S.: "Database Queries" hidden info at the bottom is interesting (and useful for the admin/coder).

Backup to OSNews definitely works in Firefox 2 - it's been tested on Mac and PC. I don't have access to IE6 right this minute, but it should work just fine, since it's all server side.
Integration with the main site is not planned right now, because there's *no registration* for users, and therefore nothing to integrate. I'd rather not have anyone with an OSNews account immediately become an employer, so I'm not sure where to go with that.
Careerbuilder site definitely needs some touch up, and I'll take care of that today.
Thanks.

I have tried it now again and it looks it's a bug.
If a new user don't has "pinned" any job but try to "backup" for some kind of reasons (maybe he just is trying out the feature the first time), the mentioned error got displayed.
If the user has already pinned one job and then un-pin it again and then "backup" to server, there is no error shown. Tested with three computers (Win32) and six different browsers (IE 6, FF 1.5, FF 2).
