I have done screen scraping before with a few different languages, so I understand this very well. Looking at the Craigslist site, it doesn't appear to be difficult. I can do a simple URL get request and pull job listings from there. I can then put the data into a MySQL table. I'll make sure the app delivered to you will be extremely configurable for flexibility down the road (i.e. if you ever need to change environments). Also, I can provide a cron job to run on your server whenever you need it to be run. I've worked for IBM, US Government and a few startups in the past. I am used to working under a deadline if you require it. I am flexible and am happy to discuss if you need to modify any terms.
