Better Job Search Engines


Job search engines use state-of-the-art technology to assist people in their job quests. With them you can enter all relevant information to reduce the lists of sought-after jobs in order to get more accurate results.

Because new jobs are being added daily or even hourly, the possibility that an applicant will see results today that s/he saw yesterday is remote. This is why job search engines are important to job seekers as well as employers who utilize them.

After some trial and error there are a few job search engines that could yield better results. They allow searchers to see major job sites, companies and even their associations by entering a keyword and location. Results can be seen in different ways, including a browser list as well as communicated via e-mail transmissions.

SimplyHired.com, America’s Job Bank, Jobster, and Indeed.com are just a few of the search engines that can provide more accurate results. These sites include over 500 job listings with job boards, prime newspapers, and numerous companies with career pages.

Indeed.com even has an advance search option that could be used to search company names, positions, and even the distance for commuters.

America’s Job Bank let’s you enter the job category you would like to search, then you can enter either the city or the zip code and state in which you would like to find a job; and it also provides the list of job openings. If an applicant is lucky, s/he can even get the quoted salary from each of company and / or position of interest.

In SimplyHired.com aside from the list of job openings, applicants are also given a short description of the job they are about to handle, including responsibilities to be met even during application. It also includes the type of company, location and date when that job was posted.

Jobster provides the latest job postings from today up to and including the last 7 days where an applicant can also choose the distance s/he prefers. This site provides an applicant the opportunity to view a list of freshly posted jobs from a variety of sources.

How Good Are They?

These sites give listings that are relevant and timely, compared to other search engines that generate results a little longer than the others. Some would even provide results that are far from the location picked out.

So far the best among those search engines used is Simplyhired.Com. It listed the job title, a link for the posting, a summary of the job description, the exact current location and where it originated. The results generated are easy to read and non-confusing with additional bits and pieces of helpful information plus a user friendly interface.
