Searching for IT Jobs on Technojobs

Technojobs search system allows you to find the best matching jobs for your requirements. Here is what you can do to narrow down search results.

Keywords

Keywords are the words and phrases you want to be in the jobs that we return for your search. We use a Boolean search system. Here is a quick overview of Boolean:

AND / OR

You can use the AND / OR operators to narrow down your result set. If you search for more than one keyword the system will automatically treat this as an AND query. So if your keywords field contains:

java perl

The system will search for:

java AND perl

If you want to find jobs that match either Java or Perl then you should use an OR query:

java OR perl

This can provide odd results if you are searching for a two word phrase - for example if you are a project manager then keywords:

project manager

Will find all jobs containing project and manager, but not necessarily next to each other:

At the time of writing this returns 5702 it jobs.

To make sure that you find jobs only containing the job title Project Manager then you simply need to enclose the words in quotes:

"project manager"

This has reduced the number of results found to 2576.

You can then combine quoted phrases with an AND / OR operator to refine the results.

"project manager" AND Prince2

Currently shows 368 jobs.

"project manager" or Prince2

Currently shows 2677 jobs - so there are currently 2,309 jobs that mention Prince2 but not "project manager".
