So I was scrolling through job boards again last night. Machine Learning roles. Data Scientist gigs. Anything that didn’t say ‘5+ years experience’ for an entry-level post.
Nothing.
I refreshed LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor—the usual spots. Same old listings. Felt like shouting into the void.
Then I saw this Reddit post that hit me like a caffeine shot: *“I scraped 200k Machine Learning Jobs.”*
Turns out… most of them aren’t even on job boards.
### Wait, Where Are These Jobs Hiding?
The Redditor (u/Elieroos) figured out something obvious but brutal: **companies post roles directly on their career pages first**—sometimes *only* there.
Like that cool startup you love? They might’ve posted an ML engineer role last Tuesday… but you’ll never see it on LinkedIn because they never pushed it to aggregators.
Classic job boards pull from maybe 10-15% of real listings. The rest? Buried on hundreds of company websites. Hunting them manually is like finding a needle in a haystack.
### So… How Do You Find Them?
They built Laboro—a free tool that scrapes job listings from **70,000+ company career pages** in real time.
No more guessing which sites to check. It’s like a search engine, but only for hidden ML roles.
I tried it this morning. Filtered for “entry-level machine learning” in my city. Found three roles I’d never seen before. One even had an “Apply Now” button that worked (rare these days).
### Why This Works When Job Boards Fail
Job boards are lazy. They wait for companies to submit listings. Laboro hunts down the raw data itself.
It’s not magic. It’s just… honest. The tech existed, but nobody bothered to point it at job hunting until now.
Key perks:
– **No spammy signups**: Just search and go.
– **Fresh listings**: Updated daily from source pages.
– **No ‘recommended for you’ nonsense**: You control the filters.
### Try It Before the Competition Does
Look, I’m not here to sell you snake oil. Tools come and go.
But if you’re grinding the job hunt like I am, **spending 5 minutes on Laboro feels like cheating**. Why *wouldn’t* you check where 85% of jobs actually live?
It’s free. No strings. Here’s the link they shared: [Laboro.co](https://laboro.co/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=7)
Maybe you’ll find your next role. Or maybe you’ll just feel less lost in the process—which, honestly? That’s half the battle.
*P.S. Shoutout to u/Elieroos for building this. My coffee’s on you if we ever meet.*
