We've received feedback from our Job-a-matic publishers asking for ways to make their back-fill job listings more relevant to the content of their sites.
Job-a-matic Back-fill Manager
Job-a-matic's existing back-fill manager is a friendly form that can help you construct advanced search commands. To help you understand the actual searches that we're performing, we thought we'd offer you the breakdown:
| Back-fill Field | Actual Search Query |
|---|---|
| All the words | Engineering AND Manager |
| Exact phrase | "Engineering Manager" |
| At least one of the words | Engineering OR Manager |
| Without the words | Engineering NOT Manager |
| Job title | title:(Engineering Manager) |
| Company name | company:(Simply Hired) |
Improved Job Search Relevancy
In addition to the Job-a-matic back-fill jobs manager, we let our publishers and Job Search XML-API partners search based on O*NET code.
Simply Hired classifies all of our jobs into a category based on the government's O*NET database -- part of SimplyHired's job search relevancy algorithm.
ONET searches can be a very useful tool for niche and occupation-based sites. For example, a HR blog or website can use our O*NET categorization to display a more diverse and broad selection of back-fill human resources jobs (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/o-13107), compared to simply using the terms "HR" or "Human Resources".
To construct an ONET query as your back-fill, you'll need to find the first two or three digits of the ONET category you're interested in and use the following search conventions: onet:(XX-X*):
Example ONET searches:
- Transportation jobs (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/o-53) - onet:(53*)
- Science jobs (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/o-19) - onet:(19*)
- Food and Beverage jobs (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/o-19) - onet:(19*)
- Art and Design jobs (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/o-271) - onet:(27-1*)
