Joblint is a Node.js CLI tool and JavaScript library that lints tech job posts for issues with sexism, culture, unrealistic expectations, and recruiter fails. It was built in 2013 and is explicitly no longer maintained, kept only as a historic artefact.
Use cases
- check a job ad for sexist or exclusionary language before publishing
- lint job post text files from the command line
- filter out bad tech job posts when job hunting
- output job post issues as JSON for CI or tooling
- analyze piped-in or clipboard text for recruiter red flags
When to choose
- you need a quick, simple heuristic check of a job ad for biased language
- you want a CLI or JS library for job post text analysis and don't need maintenance
- you're studying or forking a historic text-linting tool
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained or accurate bias-detection tool
- you want serious, production-grade inclusive-language analysis
- you need modern Node.js support or ongoing fixes
