Centralized feed/site that aggregates congressional job postings from PDFs, Senate sites, House support offices, and USAJOBS.
Problem
Congressional job postings are scattered across various sources, including weekly PDFs, Senate websites, and USAJOBS, creating an inefficient and time-consuming search process for prospective applicants.
Solution
Create a centralized platform (BSky feed, spreadsheet, or dedicated website) to aggregate congressional job postings from multiple sources:
- House Employment Bulletin PDFs: Parse and clean the data from the weekly House Employment Bulletin PDFs, likely using AI-powered techniques to extract job titles, descriptions, and application information.
- Senate Postings: Scrape job postings from the Senate’s websites for both political and non-political entities.
- House Support Office Websites: Scrape job postings directly from the websites of House support offices.
- USAJOBS: Monitor USAJOBS for relevant postings from congressional support offices and agencies (e.g., GAO, Library of Congress, CRS, USCP, Architect of the Capitol).
- Tracking: Keep track of when job postings are first published.
