AI Job Search
AI Job Search lets you describe your ideal job in plain English and instantly discover matching opportunities from our database of millions of job postings. Instead of filtering through traditional job board categories, simply tell the AI what you're looking for (specific companies, locations, salary expectations, work arrangements) and receive ranked results based on how well each job matches.

Beta Status: This feature is in active beta. Most functionality is in place but some details may change based on tester feedback.
How It Works
AI Job Search is organized as a row of tabs at the top of the page. You can have several text searches open at once, each with its own query, results, and settings.
Each tab keeps its own results, sort order, and email-alert settings. Drag tabs to reorder them, rename them, or delete them with the small controls on each tab. At least one tab must always exist.
Natural Language Search
In a Text Search tab, type a description of what you're looking for in plain English:
Example searches: - "I'd love to work as the director of manufacturing for Boom Supersonic producing the next supersonic aircraft in their NC facility" - "Product Manager at a fintech startup in San Francisco, salary above 150k" - "Remote senior software engineer role at a climate tech company" - "Data scientist jobs in VA, NC, or TX with hybrid work arrangement" - "Software engineer jobs posted in the last 2 weeks"
The AI interprets your query and searches our job database for semantically similar opportunities, even if the exact keywords don't appear in the job posting.
Multi-Location Search
You can search across multiple locations in a single query:
- "Product manager jobs in VA, NC, or TX"
- "Software engineer roles in Bay Area or Seattle"
- "Marketing director positions in New York, Boston, or Chicago"
Simply list the locations in your search query separated by "or" or commas.
Match Scores
Each result card shows a match percentage. Two scoring modes are available, controlled by the Match score dropdown above the results:
- Default (search-based): How well the job matches the text of your query (semantic similarity).
- Match by Resume: How well the job matches a chosen resume. Re-ranks the current results against the resume you select. Resume scoring is a premium feature; free users see the option but need to upgrade to use it.
Score interpretation (beta):
- 70%+ Strong match
- 50-69% Partial match, may be worth reviewing
- Below 50% Weaker match, but could still be relevant depending on your query specificity
Note: Match scores are continually being improved. For a comprehensive qualification analysis, add a job to your tracker and open its Job Fit Report.
Search Interface
Result Layout
Use the small icons next to "Sort by" at the top of the results to switch between:
- Grid view: Cards laid out in a responsive grid.
- Split view: List of jobs on the left, full job description on the right.
Sort Order
The Sort by dropdown re-orders the current results. Options include relevance and resume score (when a resume is selected via the match score dropdown).
Saved Searches
Every tab is automatically saved as a query you can return to later. Use the + button on the tab bar to create a new Text Search tab. You can:
- Rename a tab to label what it searches for.
- Drag tabs to reorder them.
- Delete extra tabs (at least one must always exist).
When you reopen AI Job Search, your tabs and most recent results are restored.
The Search Box
The Text Search input accepts natural language queries. You can describe:
- Job titles and roles: "director of manufacturing", "senior product manager"
- Companies: "at Google", "for Boom Supersonic", "not at defense contractors"
- Industries: "in healthcare", "at a fintech company", "climate tech"
- Locations: "in San Francisco", "remote", "within 50 miles of Austin"
- Salary: "salary above 150k", "200k+", "with equity"
- Work arrangement: "remote only", "hybrid", "on-site"
- Date range: "posted this week", "in the last 5 days", "past 2 months"
- Other criteria: "no travel required", "startup environment", "with visa sponsorship"
Pro Tips
The search interface includes example query formats:
"salary above 100k"or"150k+""in healthcare"or"in education""near New York"or"Bay Area""within 50 miles""at Apple or Google""not at Meta or Facebook""requires to speak Spanish""I need visa sponsorship""Use my Photoshop skills"or"React and Python""posted this week"or"in the last 5 days"
Filter Relaxation
If your query is very narrow and returns few or no results, the AI may automatically relax filters (for example, widening the location radius or removing a company constraint) and show a banner explaining what was changed. This helps surface nearby opportunities you may still want to see.
Working with Results
Viewing Job Details
Click any job card to see:
- Full job description
- Company information
- Location and work arrangement details
- Salary range (if available)
- Application link
Adding to Job Tracker
Found an interesting opportunity? Click Save on a job card to add it to your tracker:
- Saves the job to your pipeline
- Unlocks detailed Job Fit Reports (with comprehensive scoring)
- Lets you generate Custom Resumes and Cover Letters
- Tracks your application progress
If the job already exists in your tracker, a duplicate notification appears showing the existing entry's details. You can skip or add it anyway.
Hiding Jobs
Not interested in a result? Use the hide control on the card to remove it from your view. Hidden jobs won't appear in future searches.
Email Alerts
Each tab can subscribe to daily email updates via the "Get daily email updates" checkbox above the results. When enabled, you'll receive a daily summary of new jobs that match that specific tab's query. Each tab tracks its subscription independently, so you can subscribe to a few favorite tabs without subscribing to all of them.
Current Limitations (Beta)
As a beta feature, AI Job Search has some known limitations:
Match Score
- The default match score reflects query-to-job-posting alignment, not your full qualifications.
- Resume scoring re-ranks results but does not yet explain why a score is high or low.
- Detailed score breakdowns are available after adding to Job Tracker (via Job Fit Report).
Database Coverage
- Job database is continuously refreshed but may not include every posting.
- Some niche roles or small companies may have limited coverage.
- Location accuracy depends on how jobs are posted at the source.
Providing Feedback
Your feedback is important during beta. Use the Feedback button in the platform to report:
- Search queries that returned poor results
- Match scores that seem incorrect
- Suggestions that don't make sense
- Bugs or unexpected behavior
- Feature requests and improvements
The feedback system automatically captures:
- Your exact search query
- The current page context
- Technical metadata to help us debug
No special labeling needed, just submit your feedback normally.
Tips for Better Results
Be Specific
More specific queries generally yield better results:
- Avoid: "engineering jobs"
- Better: "senior software engineer at climate tech startups in the Bay Area"
Use Multiple Search Strategies
Try rephrasing your query if initial results aren't great:
- Different job title variations
- Adding or removing location constraints
- Specifying or broadening industry focus
- Open a second Text Search tab to compare different phrasings side by side
Leverage Natural Language
The AI understands context, so write naturally:
- "I want to transition from consulting to a product role at a tech company"
- "Looking for leadership positions where I can build a team from scratch"
Browse Beyond Top Results
Match scores are approximate; relevant opportunities may appear further down the list, especially for niche queries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I filter by multiple states? A: Yes. Use natural language like "jobs in VA, NC, or TX" and the system will search across all specified locations.
Q: Why is my match score low for a job I think I'm qualified for? A: The default match score reflects alignment with your search query. Switch the Match score dropdown to "Match by Resume" to re-rank by resume fit, or add the job to your tracker and open the Job Fit Report for a full qualification analysis.
Q: How often is the job database updated? A: The database is continuously refreshed with new postings. Exact refresh frequency varies by source.
Q: Can I exclude certain companies or industries? A: Yes, use negative phrasing like "not at defense contractors" or "not at Google".
Q: Can I filter by how recently jobs were posted? A: Yes. Include a time phrase in your query like "posted this week", "in the last 5 days", or "past 2 months". The date range will adjust automatically; you can also change it manually.
Q: How do I get daily emails for a search? A: On any tab, check "Get daily email updates" above the results. Each tab tracks its subscription separately.
Q: Why do I only see one result for very specific queries? A: Highly specific queries (like a particular company's facility in a particular location) may only match a few postings. Broaden your search or open a second Text Search tab with looser criteria.
Q: Will this replace the existing Matching Jobs feature? A: AI Job Search and Matching Jobs serve different purposes. Matching Jobs provides automatic recommendations based on your profile; AI Job Search lets you actively explore with specific queries. Both will continue to be available.
