What is the Job Search Agent and how do I use it to get the best results?


Our Job Search Agent uses our custom-designed matching technology to find jobs that match your HireAbility Profile.  The Job Search Agent emails its search results to the email address you gave in your profile.  We hope you will use our technology to your best advantage.  With that in mind, please read this explanation of how our Agent works, and how you can get the best results for your particular situation.

Your Profile has many pieces of information in it, most gleaned from your résumé: Contact Information, Skills, Experience, Education, Certifications, etc.  You can use the default Job Search Agent or you can save up to 3 of your most effective Job Searches for the Job Agent to use.

The default Job Search Agent uses a number of fields of information to do the matching:

1. Skills and Interest Levels
   1. The Agent uses the four (4) Skills with the highest Interest Levels.
   2. If no Skills have Interest Levels specified, the Agent uses the first 4 Skills it finds.
2. Your Location – The Agent begins with jobs in your City, and expands in 20-mile radius increments to include your whole state, eventually.
3. Most recent Job Title – The Agent looks for jobs with your most recent Job Title.

If the jobs our Default Job Agent found are not quite what you are seeking, please log in and edit your Profile to reflect your current interests, or save up to three (3) of your most effective Job Searches for the Agent to use.  

To tune the results using the Default Job Agent: begin with your Skills, and be sure that you have at least 4 of your primary Skills with high Interest Levels.  Then be sure your address is correct in your Contact Information.  Be sure to put your most recent Job Title in your Experience record.

To save a Job Search to the Job Agent, simply tune your job searches until you develop a set of criteria that produces the results you want your Job Agent to return. Then click "Add this search to my Job Agent" in the top left corner of the Search Results page.

To opt out of receiving notifications from the Job Search Agent, click here.

I have accepted a job, so I'm off the market for a while. How do I let potential employers know my new availability date?
