Searching
How the Careers search works: the twelve boards, filters, deduplication, the explained fit score, office days, saved searches and what to do for boards without public data.
Careers searches many boards in one go, filters and deduplicates the postings, stores them and scores each one against your profile.
The boards#
| Kind | Boards |
|---|---|
| Freelance, Netherlands and Germany | Freelance.nl, freelancermap, GULP |
| Permanent, Germany | Bundesagentur für Arbeit, GermanTechJobs, Arbeitnow |
| Remote | Himalayas, RemoteOK, Remotive, We Work Remotely, Jobicy, Hacker News "Who is hiring" |
That is twelve. Freelance comes first in the lists.
Filters#
- Contract type and EU-friendly.
- Languages: a posting that asks for a language outside your working languages is not shown. A posting only written in Dutch that never asks for Dutch is kept and tagged "posting in Dutch".
- Rate floor for the digest.
- Office days: Careers reads "3 office days a week", "2 dagen per week op kantoor", "hybrid 3/2", "Büro 3 Tage", "fully remote" and similar from the posting.
Postings are deduplicated across boards on a normalised address, so the same job from two boards appears once.
The fit score#
Each posting has one number, the Fit, with its reasons. It is a coverage of what the posting asks for against your profile, with the evidence. Before you have a profile, results are ranked on your search words and the reasons say so.
Boards without public data#
Upwork, Hays, Striive, LinkedIn and Malt have no public data. For them Careers gives ready-made searches and a paste box: paste a posting and it is stored, deduplicated and scored like any other. An AI agent with a browser can import what it read with jobs save.
Shortcuts#
In the list: J and K move, Enter opens, S saves, and / focuses the search bar.
From a result#
Save it to your pipeline (stage "saved", nothing is drafted or sent), or open it to tailor. The Tracked page lists every job with a stage and its next step in words.
