The Job & Career Blog

Monster has recently launched its new search – according to the Monster job search thanks to the new search technology to go even faster by the hand, and also better matched to the job are looking for. Ok – so far so good -. Really nothing extraordinary, nothing that you or anyway one expects a large online jobTry it yourself The search times out quickly – />Just click on “job search BETA” and start using the new search ...

At first glance, the search a bit cluttered – came from the standard search yet with two input fields, there are now three fields ->”Job Title”, “skills” and “work”. This may seem logical at first glance, but the job seekers often expect just one Google'sche search logic ->A search box, and off you go! Or. he simply uses the first field accordingly, and then drills down further in the search results.

Search reveals but a few glaring flaws, it follows Ex. a search for “license” in the Job Title field, no results, but the most popular eye-opener link “Search for jobs in the” license “as a keyword or ability required.” then likewise yields 0 results, but instead to “license”

Well, one relatively easy to correct bug, but maybe you should direct antriggern the corresponding result when a search produces no result, but bring in another search field would result to the fore, because the teaser is relatively small and inconspicuous, so that the job seeker rather frustrated again leaves the page, rather than longer deal with the search.

The auto-fill the search fields is rather confusing, because if I Ex. “SEO” search, I get the right SEO offered various job titles, such as Ex. “Head of SEO”, “Deputy Should you feel compelled to find virtually the same under these proposals need to be a result, although all four in this case offered job title for someone looking for SEO as it be interesting – Head of SEO “,” SEO Specialist “&” SEO Manager “. Sure, you can send the search, even so, and thus get all relevant results ejected, but this is likely instant search confuse a lot of people a little. It is not said that you can also look quite broad, and so gets all the relevant results presented.

The drill-down options are sometimes a bit overloaded and produce some rather funny-looking results, so you get Ex. if, after jobs as “drivers” searches, and to adjust the salary “per year” Than 125,000 €Still whopping 8 results! See for yourself ->

Monster really has the best-paid drivers jobs in the world * hehe *

The content

Screw seems generally to work yet so real, because if you Ex. from such a view of the “jobs without pay term” take out that is getting in most cases presents no more jobs – how to find the results are still probably remains a mystery of Monster'schen programmers. How could they ever offer such an option if the results are complete bogus anyway?

Overall, I find the new search quite nice, but the whole thing looks more like a step backwards, because the people want is to be rather less than more search fields, and who proudly promoted fewer but better getargeteten search results are more of a shot in the knee, because the user simply does not offer to the whole face gets when he does not look exactly as it has to look properly … and that happens to be the least do …
