Get the results you're looking for!
The inside scoop on getting exactly the results you're looking for.
Searching by keywords narrows your search results, helping you to find the right job the first time. Keywords are particularly useful if you are searching for a specific role, skill, location or company. Our search casts it net widely across more fields than any other site. It will include words that appear in job titles, tags, advertisement body text and most other parts of the ad.
Results for any single word entered in the search field will include all jobs that have used that word anywhere in the ad. If the word you have searched is the same as one of our job categories (say a profession, role, industry etc), your search results will include all the jobs in that category.
If you search for more than one word, such as sales management, your results will only include jobs where SALES MANAGEMENT (as a set of words) has been used in the ad. If the word SALES appears in the ad and is not followed immediately by MANAGEMENT, it will not be included in your search results. You can use OR to list jobs including either word. Your search will then include all jobs where the word SALES OR the word MANAGEMENT appear anywhere in the ad.
Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. “SALES MANAGEMENT" includes results where this exact phrase has been used. Our technology is smart enough to recognise some common phrases and common variations like part time, part-time, parttime, and deliver ALL jobs that are true part-time roles, even if you don’t put quotes around them or use different spelling or punctuation.
Use NOT to exclude keywords. A search of MANAGEMENT NOT SALES will list positions that include the word MANAGEMENT, but NOT those that include the word SALES.
We supports nested searches using brackets. MANAGEMENT NOT (SALES OR ACCOUNTS) will include results for all ads with the word MANAGEMENT included, but none that also include the words SALES or ACCOUNTS.
Our searches are not case sensitive. Searches for Sales Management, sales management or SaLEs ManAGemeNT will return the same results. Qualifiers such as AND, NOT and OR are also not case sensitive.
We ignores common words and characters such as THE, AN, ALSO, symbols such as % and / and some phrases such as I AM LOOKING FOR. These slow down your search without enhancing the results.
We translates punctuation (commas, spaces, dashes and asterisks) as AND, so make sure you use OR if you would like either of your keywords to appear in the search results. For example, instead of typing in JAPANESE, CHINESE use JAPANESE OR CHINESE if you want jobs that match either Japanese or Chinese.
We can utilise asterisk * wildcards for the search of part words. Great if you’re spelling is rusty. You will need to use quotation marks. For example searching "PSY*" will produce results that include PSYCHOLOGIST, PSYCHIATRIST etc.
If you misspell a word, We may recognise what you were trying to search on, and offer you a spelling suggestion ‘did you mean?’
