Find Jobs in Top Startups

Jobsort

Jobsort is a fast job search engine for developers. Jobsort is powered by a domain-specific language called JobSort Query Language (JSQL) which allows for deep job searching. The database of jobs is updated every few days.

Thanks to those who have given words of advice over the past months to guide future development. The name Jobsort comes from the well-known sorting algorithm Quicksort.

If you find Jobsort helpful, please consider staring the repo. It helps!

JobSort Query Language (JSQL)

[-]STRING [-]lang:STRING [-]tech:STRING [-]visa:STRING [-]company:STRING [-]stage:STRING [-]hq:STRING date:<UINT size:>UINT remote:ok sort:datetime|random|rank|traffic

The - operator negates the meaning of the filter. For example, when searching for java, most search engines also return less relevant javascript hits. Thus, search for java -javascript to filter out javascript hits when looking for java jobs.

Filter Syntax	Filter Examples
KEYWORD, -KEYWORD	java, java -javascript
lang:, -lang: for programming languages; see languages.tsv	lang:go, frontend -lang:php
tech:, -tech: for tech stacks; see technologies.tsv	tech:django, sysadmin -tech:linux
visa:, -visa: for visa sponsorship; see visas.tsv	visa:h1b (FTE1), visa:h3 (internship), visa:f1 (student)
company:, -company: for company names; see companies.csv	company:apple, company:'epic games'
stage:, -stage: for startup stages; see stages.txt	stage:seed, stage:'series a', stage:'series b', stage:'series c', -stage:public
hq:, -hq: for company headquarters; see companies.csv	hq:california -hq:'san francisco'
size:<, size:> for number of employees	size:<100, size:>100, size:>100 size:<1000
date:<, date:> for job published date; must be in days	date:<7 (last week), date:<30 (last month)
remote: for remote jobs; must be ok	remote:ok
sort: for sorting; must be datetime, random, rank, traffic	sort:datetime, sort:random, sort:traffic, sort:rank (default)

Note that if a filter value contains whitespace, the value must be wrapped between ' or "; either works, but examples herein use single quotes rather than double quotes.

Please send an email to [email protected] to request more filters.

Example Searches

• java -javascript for when java matches javascript results but you're not a frontend engineer, thus it's useful to remove javascript results.
• hq:california -hq:"san francisco" for when you want to find a job somewhere in California but living in San Francisco is just too expensive.
• size:<100 if you like working in small companies with less than 100 employees.
• size:>1000 if you like working in large companies with more than 1000 employees.

jobsort's Issues

Feature Request - Resume Revision and Job Insight Tools

Description:

I would like to propose the addition of a significant feature to Jobsort that focuses on enhancing the overall job-seeking experience for users. The suggested features revolve around robust resume revision tools and insights into specific job expectations, with a particular emphasis on aligning individual backgrounds and experiences with diverse job requirements.

Resume Revision Tools:

• Implement an AI-driven resume analysis tool that provides users with detailed suggestions for optimizing their resumes.
• Utilize natural language processing (NLP) to highlight areas that may require more emphasis based on industry standards and specific job descriptions.
• Offer actionable recommendations to improve the overall quality and relevance of user resumes.

Job Insight Tools:

• Provide insights and advice tailored to specific job expectations, catering to the diverse requirements of companies.
• For example, understanding the coding challenges commonly associated with companies like FAANG.
• Tailor advice based on industry standards, such as the emphasis on .NET and database knowledge in certain organizations.

Benefits:

User Empowerment: Users will receive personalized guidance to enhance their resumes, increasing their competitiveness in the job market.
Informed Job Applications: Users will gain insights into specific expectations for different types of roles, improving their ability to tailor applications accordingly.
Improved Job Search Strategy: The integration of these tools will contribute to a more strategic and informed job search process.

Implementation:

• Integrate a user-friendly interface within Jobsort to facilitate easy access to the resume revision and job insight tools.
• Leverage machine learning and NLP technologies to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the suggestions provided.
• Regularly update the tool based on user feedback to enhance its effectiveness over time.
• I believe these features align with the vision of Jobsort to create a tool that goes beyond conventional job search platforms, providing users with a comprehensive and tailored approach to their job search journey.

I welcome any feedback and discussion on this proposal.

Request extra locations

Hi,

Could you please add extra locations such as Cypress and Stanton, CA?

I have been using your website, but I found there were only a few locations that I could select.

Thanks,
Tom

make it easier to filter by job location country

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the email.

Make it easier to search by country

for example, this is a sample query remote:ok lang:c# sort:rank hq:'united states'

this looks like a good query except the bottom result shows result from India (the company is US based but the job is based in India)
