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.

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.

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 info@jobsort.com 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.
