We launched BoroughJobs here on Product Hunt on Aug 25. A week later, here's what actually happened, numbers included:

  • Added three new civil-service sources (Ministry of Justice, Home Office, Parliament), on top of NHS, councils, and 20+ GP/primary-care boards.

  • Built a live data page (/press) that's always current — no more static reports, it queries our own database on every load.

  • Now tracking 20,000+ live public-sector vacancies across 368 UK areas.

Live data, if anyone's curious:

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the original thread — a couple of specific suggestions from here genuinely shaped what we prioritized this week. Still very much iterating — what would make this more useful to you?
