Example annoyance 15: Comparison

Compare up to four jobs at once by having a compare button. Like shopping with a comparison list. Select checkbox on job to compare, when two or more are checked, have another button appear on each job to compare selected jobs.

Example annoyance 16: VPN

Should work while on a VPN, it shouldn't matter where I am

Example annoyance 14: Logical Filtering

When you select or enter to filter out the word Senior but still see Senior in search result posts 🤦‍♂️

Example annoyance 12: Corporate Greed

How about a job board that doesn't charge job seeker fees? I thought it was obvious but apparently it's a business model.

Companies pay, not job seekers

Example annoyance 13: Better Job Submissions

Some good data there. Sounds like they have a terrible job submission design as well. Form automation, postal codes, and reCAPTCHA. How about company vetting? Pre-screening example ads. Nesting ads with the same content so it doesn't flood the job board. Then have company sections, as noted in another comment

Example annoyance 11: I'm tired of recruiters sending me a message that I'm a good candidate but they haven't even read my profile on the website. What a colossal waste of time.

We need a better ability for companies to find us. So far everything is based on the candidate trying to find a company. The opposite must also be available, the company finding you.

This means we need to better tag our own needs in a candidate profile. Have a resume section but maybe just leave the resume to the company side, and put in what preferences is the company in this case offering?

Range of hours? Contract position? Full time? Part time (with stated hours)? Wages? Bonuses(stipend for a new chair, signing bonus), Benefits(vacation, health benefits if USA, time off).

Having basic preferences in the candidate profile should really narrow it down for companies, and avoid telephone-tag, email-tag, useless wastes of time. Also always with the option in the seach to ignore preferences for a broader search of candidates.

Would love to hear from companies who use job boards what they do and use. Must be a nightmare if there's no filtering. Some test of competence? Rating websites?

Example annoyance 10: As a remote job board the notion of remote needs to be better defined. The internet is a non-geographic point but we live in different areas. Thus the notion of Remote Regions would just be people with similar skills anywhere on earth!

• Remote Completely, available worldwide based on job criteria
• Remote Bilingual, available worldwide but have an option for a mix of languages to open up the talent pool for almost native English speakers who have also local language knowledge like Spanish, German, and others etc
• Remote Regions, available in certain areas of the world, North America, Central America, South America, Asia, South Asia, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia and Oceania. Can pick more than one.
• Remote Local, available in a specific country or area of country
• Hybrid Remote, not fully remote and you have to be local to visit the company once or more a week

Encourage Remote local jobs to be Remote Regions, as people nearby likely have trade agreements and speak similarly or know each others' languages.

Opens up a whole issue with English but which English? You can have Canada/America, Canada/ America/ Mexico, Australia/New Zealand, Canada/ America/ UK/ Ireland/ Europe/ India/ Australia/ New Zealand etc, it can really be a mess! By moving up Remote local to Remote Regions it opens up a greater talent pool without having to decide.

Job boards need to give companies a wider pool of candidate options that can fill the role just fine. Also will likely have closer banking intergration due to trade agreements.

Also the options for a candidate don't have to be mutually exclusive and can overlap. Should help those who are bilingual and multilingual who may be being shut out of English only roles.

Still thinking about this one, might just be easier to role this into Remote Bilingual with Regions as merely a sub-tag. But I don't want to limit people's options

Example annoyance 9: No data in post about wages or hours. Particularly for part-time roles. This needs to be either flagged as an incomplete post or rated lower than complete posts thus show up later than completed posts.

Companies should be trying to filter candidates out that want to work for them. Let's not waste time holding back on deal-breaker information. An options list of deal-breakers would also help sort posts.

Example annoyane 8: Number of technologies and experience requests doesn't match the job title. Need a way to define what entry, junior, experienced, and senior mean, such that the candidate is being properly filtered out, and can search for their appropriate section.

Example annoyance 7: Ads are too long and are not focused on filtering out candidates. Have an option to rate posts from shortest to longest. The shorter ones are more likely to get to the point and are not full of paragraphs of introductory filler. You want to post all that fluffy bits you can put it into the company section. This allows the company to focus on the job being asked for. And maybe they'll get to the point?

Example annoyance 6: Also have a separate area for supporting companies. This helps create awareness of brands without having to post an ad. Get all the fluffy text at the beginning of a post and put it in there.

Example annoynace 5: If a company isn't hiring at the moment just grey out their logo. They can still accept career inquires but no point in filling up the board with job posts over 30 days old. Maybe tag posts into Recent, Ongoing, and Stale based on how old it is.

Example annoyance 4: We visit a job site and select Remote as a search term, but the results return Hybrid Remote which isn't actually remote. Thus we need Hybrid Remote option in the job search. Easy right? C'mon folks

Example annoyance 1: You did a search, looked at a job ad, then hit the back button. Only to go all the way back to the main page and not the search results you created. Now you have to redo all the terms and settings because it forgot that too. Repeat for every job view. Ugh. Not moderm web dev.

Example annoyance 2: You specifically selected part-time but the job search results mix in full-time jobs. Hours unavailable. Missing data.

Example annoynance 3: You state that you want a specific language only position but it still lists Bilingual jobs because they have the language word in the job post. What happened to logical operators like ! and NOT? We need better than a blanket word match
