2020 was a challenging year for companies. Even though our industry was affected far less than most, the pandemic made companies nervous, meaning tightened recruitment budgets. As someone who runs a developer jobs site, the effect on hiring was noticeable.

The good news is that this year is very different. That’s great for many reasons, but for me, it’s good because I’ve been working on something big, and it’s (re-)launching today. Say hello to iOS Dev Jobs version 2.0! 🚀 It’s entirely new, and it now has native apps! 🎉

The most significant change is that you’re now in complete control of the job opportunities you see, and you’ll never need to scroll past jobs in locations where you’re not able to work again.

Whether a position is remote or on-site is by far the most important factor affecting whether you’ll consider it, so you can now filter by that. Then, you can set preferences on the time zones you’re available for remote work and what countries/states are convenient for on-site work. The complete set of filters look like this. You’ll only receive an email when jobs match where you’re able to work.

But that’s not all. Most Swift developers have a Mac and at least one iOS device. If you’d prefer push notifications over email, that’s no problem. You can download apps for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. You’re able to set the same filters, and you’ll get at most one notification per day, and only on days when new jobs match your filters. Again, you’re in control.

Want more? How about widgets for both iOS and macOS that show the most recent jobs matching your filters? It’s all about giving you the information you need in the way you’d like to consume it.

Is that it? Of course not. There’s also an iMessage sticker pack because why not! 😂

Finally, there are no tracking pixels in the email and no trackers on the website or apps. I count visits to the website and clicks if you view a job, but not who clicked. The app binaries are under 3Mb (before app thinning) too, which should tell you how many analytics frameworks are in there! 😂

For companies, pricing for listing your job opportunities remains the same. You can post standard job listings for free and featured job listings for a reasonable fee. If you have open positions, you should tell your hiring manager to post them.

With that, all I can say is that I’d really appreciate it if you checked out this re-launch of iOS Dev Jobs. Subscribe to the weekly email digest, download the apps, or grab the RSS feed. I hope I can help you find your perfect role.

I also want to say a huge thank you to Toby Herbert for his help with bringing this idea to reality. I’ve known Toby since he was 14 when his dad emailed me to ask if I’d help him with learning iOS development. I started teaching him, but it wasn’t too many years until the roles switched, and Toby was teaching me far more than I ever taught him! Anyway, I hired Toby to help build this re-launch, and he has done the lions share of the development on it. He’s a highly-talented developer, and no one could have worked harder to get us to the finish line. He also deserves extra credit for never once disconnecting from our calls when I said, “I’ve been thinking. What if it did…” 😂 Thanks, Toby!
