Getting the Best Results From Vacancies
The initial search you send to our vacancy providers is the most important part of your search.
We only receive the first set of matching vacancies from each provider. If your search is too broad, those results may be dominated by unrelated roles before we even apply your keyword filters.
Be as specific as possible in your search
Instead of searching for a generic job title, include the discipline or industry in your search.

Use keyword filters to refine further
Once you've used a specific search term, keyword filters can help narrow the results even more.For example:
Search
Construction Project Manager
Keywords
-
Residential
-
Main Contractor
-
Fit Out
-
Commercial
Or:
Search
Mechanical Design Engineer
Keywords
-
HVAC
-
SolidWorks
-
Building Services
-
AutoCAD
If you're not seeing the jobs you expect
- Make your search more specific, not broader.
- Include the industry, technology, discipline or specialism in the search itself.
- Use keyword filters as a refinement tool rather than relying on them to separate unrelated job types.
Tip: A search for Construction Project Manager will usually return far more relevant vacancies than searching for Project Manager and hoping keywords remove the IT roles.
