Summary

HeaderHunter is a simple Google Chrome extension that will show a small alert whenever you visit a website that returns recruitment messages in the HTTP headers.

A few companies started adding recruitment messages via "X-Recruiting", "X-Hacker", "X-Hire" or "X-Jobs" HTTP headers. Without any centralized job site, this extension turns your browser into a job listing app, by reading these headers when they are present. All web admins have to do is to include one of these headers with a custom message to the user.
