About
Where these jobs come from
Career Discovery is a search over open tech roles in Nepal. It hosts no postings of its own: every result links to the page it was found on, and you apply there, with the employer or the portal.
- Where roles come from Company careers pages, and nine Nepali job portals
- How often we look Once a day, on a schedule — never while you search

Our crawler
CareerScannerBot/1.0, with a contact address in every request
We respect your robots.txt and your terms of service
-
Your robots.txt decides what we may read. We fetch it
before anything else on your site and follow it, including
Crawl-delay. A disallowed path is never requested. -
Your terms of service decide too. A person reads them
before your site is ever added. If they forbid scraping, bots or
automated access, we do not read the site at all — even where your
robots.txtwould have allowed it. Five sources are excluded today for exactly that reason, and two of them we have asked for written permission rather than assume. - Public pages only, at a gentle pace. No logins, no forms, no bypassing anything built to keep crawlers out — and a handful of paced requests per site per day, from one crawler that names itself and carries a contact address.
- We link back, and keep the minimum. Every role we show points at your page, which is where the reader applies.
- One email and we stop. No reason needed; we delete what we stored and confirm, normally within a working day.
How a search works
Searching here does not crawl anything. A scheduled run reads the sites and writes what it found to an index; your search reads that index. That is why results are instant, and why typing does not send a hundred requests to other people's servers.
It also means a role can be gone before we notice. Every card links to the original posting, which is the page that decides — if it 404s or says closed, that is the truth, not our listing.
- Roles from company careers pages come first. They are first-hand: the employer published them.
- Portal roles are listed separately and labelled "via <portal>", because you will be applying on that portal's site.
- A role is listed only when it links to its own posting. Anything that merely mentions your search term sits in a separate, collapsed list, labelled as such.
What our crawler reads
Our crawler identifies itself as CareerScannerBot/1.0 and
carries a contact address in its User-Agent, so anyone reading their
server logs can see who we are and reach a human.
- It reads a listing page and, at most, the pages that listing links to — one hop, never a whole site.
- It waits between requests to the same site, and honours a
Crawl-delaylonger than our own. - A full daily run is a few thousand requests spread across ~130 sites — a handful per site.
- It caches what it fetched, so a re-run asks your server for less, not more.
What we store, and what we don't
From a company careers page: the role's title, its link, the text around it, and the company's public address, so a card can say where the job is.
From a job portal: the title, the link to that posting on the portal, and a short line of details capped at 200 characters. No full descriptions, no logos, no images. Email addresses and phone numbers are stripped out before anything is stored.
We do not collect personal data about job seekers, we have no accounts or tracking, and we do not sell or syndicate what we index. If you add a company and leave your email, it is used once — to tell you it is live.
If you run a site we read
You can have us stop, at any time, for any reason — no explanation needed. Email us and we will add your domain to our exclusion list and delete everything we stored from it. We aim to do that within one working day, and we will confirm when it is done.
The same address is the fastest route for a correction: a role attributed to the wrong employer, a stale listing that should be closed, or a link pointing at the wrong page.

careerscannerbot@gmail.com- Site owners: send the domain. We reply with confirmation once it is excluded and its data deleted.
