Finding jobs
Find jobs that match your profile
Generate target job titles and launch prefilled searches across 12 job boards, with AI board recommendations.
Find Jobs has two tabs. Matches for you is a feed we score against your profile and refresh for you. Search job boards is the manual search, prefilled and ready to run across 12 boards plus federal and state government sites. Most people live in the first tab and use the second when they want to dig.
1. Generate your target titles (once)
On your Profile, click Generate job titles. The AI suggests realistic titles you are qualified for. These titles drive your matches, and they show up as one-click options in the search tab. You can edit them freely, and you can add your own match keywords next to them.
2. Read your matches
Open Find Jobs. New listings are scored against your titles and keywords, and the strongest come first. Add the ones worth pursuing to your Board, and dismiss the rest. Dismissing is not housekeeping. Every dismissal, with its reason, teaches the next round.
3. What we look at when we match
The score comes from a fixed formula, not from what anyone paid. Click Why this score? on any match to see the exact parts and what each one added. Here is what goes into it.
- Where your keywords hit. A keyword in the job title counts for more than the same keyword buried in the description.
- Your target titles. A listing whose title overlaps the titles the AI generated for you gets a bonus.
- Location and remote. A job in your city earns a bonus. So does a genuinely remote job, which is not the same as a job that says remote.
- Age. A fresh posting outranks an identical one from two months ago, and the decay is gradual. A stale posting sinks. It does not vanish, because some employers really do leave a job open for months.
- Your own history. What you save and what you dismiss shifts the words that score well for you. That shift is capped, so a bad week of dismissals cannot bury a strong keyword match.
4. What we check before we show you a listing
Ranking is half the job. The other half is telling you what a posting is hiding. Every listing carries the checks below, and a clean listing carries no badges.
- Ghost jobs. We score how likely a posting is dead, using its age and how widely it is syndicated. A job posted today on five boards is well distributed. The same job still on five boards ninety days later is something else, and it gets a Likely ghost badge.
- Reposts. When one source posts the same job again and again, we collapse the copies and keep the newest.
- Remote that is not remote. We read the description for the words that contradict the remote claim, such as hybrid, on-site, or three days a week in the office. A contradicted claim loses the remote badge and the remote bonus.
- Hidden pay. When the board leaves the salary field empty, we look for pay in the description text. We show what the posting says, word for word.
- Who is really hiring. We flag a posting that comes from a staffing or recruiting firm rather than the employer, so you know who receives your resume. Agencies are not the problem. Not knowing is.
- Experience inflation. We flag an entry-level title that demands three or more years of experience.
Every one of these checks resolves an unknown in the listing’s favor. A posting with no date, or a description we only received in part, is never punished for what we could not see.
5. How this differs from a big job site
Large job sites are built to serve two customers: you, and the employer who pays to post. That shapes what you get. Four differences matter.
- Who the ranking serves. Promoted and sponsored listings rise on most job sites because an employer paid for the position. Here your score decides the order. Every listing is scored against your profile the same way, and no employer can pay to outrank a match that fits you better.
- What a match means. A typical site matches on keywords and shows you the result. We add your generated titles, your location, verified remote status, freshness, and your own save and dismiss history, then show the arithmetic.
- Dead listings. A stale posting is not a cost to a site that counts postings. It is a cost to you. We score staleness and label it.
- Honesty about the posting. Hidden pay, a remote label that means hybrid, an agency in the employer field, an entry-level title wanting five years: all normal on the big boards. Here each one gets a badge, before you spend an hour applying.
One honest limit: a big site indexes more jobs than we do. We aggregate a smaller set and tell you the truth about it. Use the search tab when you want to sweep wider.
6. Search the boards yourself
- Open the Search job boards tab.
- Pick a target title, or type one.
- Enter a location, and toggle Remote if you want remote roles.
- Search everything we aggregate at once, or click any board to open a prefilled search there in a new tab.
Click Recommend best boards and the AI ranks the boards for your profile, with a short reason for each. A tech candidate might see Dice and Built In rise. A remote seeker sees We Work Remotely.
7. Capture what you find
When you spot a good role, use the browser extension to add it straight to your Board. Then tailor a resume to it and read the Fit check. That is the full loop: match, capture, tailor, track.
