Just the thing for you.
Matching jobs
How we rank jobs for you
We first show jobs that fit your search well. Your selected location and distance also influence how high a job appears.
- We do not hard-filter by distance: jobs outside your selected distance can still appear.
- The farther a job is outside your distance, the less its content fit counts.
- A nearby exact match stays high; a far exact match drops faster.
- Jobs that match your search less closely can still appear, especially when they are nearby.
- Outside your selected distance, the match label also takes into account how far away the job is.
Examples
- Search for "Lab technician quality control" with 25 km? An exact match at 15 km will usually appear first.
- An exact match at 50 km can still appear, but it receives less score because it is outside your distance.
- A job at 0 km that fits less well can rank below a good content match, but very far matches drop faster.
For the curious: score weights
- Best match uses different weights depending on your search and location.
- With a selected location: text match 70-75%, distance score 20%, preferences/context 0-5%, boosts 5%.
- Without a selected location: text match 75-90%, preferences/context 0-15%, boosts 10%.
- Without search text, text match starts at 100 and location, context and boosts decide the differences.
- With a distance preference, the 20% distance score combines exact distance with your selected kilometre range.
- Outside your selected distance, text match is progressively reduced: the farther away the job is, the more distance affects the score.
- Match labels outside your selected distance use the combined score, so far exact text matches do not automatically stay "Strong match".
- Text match is capped at 100. The best matching field counts: title weighs most, then related titles, job category, tasks/skills and description.
Based on your search, location and job content.
