Jobsearch Tips

--> Job Categories
A primary category should be selected based on the type of job(s) you are most interested in viewing. For example; if you are looking for a job as a HR Manager you should select the 'HR' category. If you are looking for a job as a Credit Controller, you should select the 'Accountancy & Finance' category etc.

--> Job Search Results
Search results are presented in descending order of relevance to the criteria which has been entered into the system. For example: if you are looking for a Marketing Manager job on a permanent full-time basis in Belfast, then a job for a permanent full-time Marketing Manager in Belfast will appear as a 100% match. If there is a job for a permanent full-time Marketing Manager in Armagh then this will also appear but at a lower percentage match because the locations don't correspond. The wider the criteria you select, the greater the number of job results you will get, similarly, the more specific your criteria, the fewer the results. You can decide which is more suitable for you.

--> Extra 'Key Words'
Inserting a relevant key word(s) can help refine your search greatly. You should insert words or phrases that you would expect to see in the job title or job description.

For example; if you are looking for a job in the area of SAP Consultancy, you will get more specific results if you insert the key words, SAP Consultant, rather than just inserting the word SAP on its own or the word Consultant on its own. If you are looking for a job as a Web Developer, you will get more specific results if you insert the key words, Web Developer, rather than just the word Web or the word Developer on their own.
For more specific results you should tick the box marked "match the exact key word(s)".

--> Search by Recruiter
