You may have a class of advertising graduates who are starting out and looking for a job/internships. Tell them to bookmark http://www.jobstaxi.com/index.php?q=advertising+internship. Or maybe, you have a dear family member in New York who’s specialized in private banking and recently got retrenched, try getting him to type ‘private banking new york city‘ into the search bar.

JobsTAXI responds to what you are searching for. Just remember, whatever keyword is of a higher priority, type it in first. 

Sort out the listings the way you’d do it on Finder, or Windows Explorer.

It’s really easy. Start off by typing your keyword into the search bar. When the results appear, click on any one of the four indexing variables (Date Posted/Position/Location/Company) to sort out your listings.

Let jobs you want find you!

One thing you should have realized by now — JobsTAXI only finds you jobs you WANT (that’s why you searched for it, isn’t it?). So how can you be kept in the loop whenever a job you want pops in?

Here’s how — let’s take it that you’re a programmer looking for opportunities in Chicago. Simply start by typing in ‘Programmer Chicago‘ in the search bar. Then click on the button “Also Email Me”, and you’re set.

The next time any new job relating to the keywords ‘Programmer Chicago’ get posted on JobsTAXI, an email gets sent to you automatically!

That’s it for now. Stay tuned for more enhancements coming to JobsTAXI!

JobsTAXI has just launched into our phase 1 of our redesign with one key objective: How are we able to help you find the jobs you want faster?

Faster Results = Faster Search

First of all, we improved and replaced our ‘Live Search’ function with tagging capabilities such that our servers will be less taxed when you type in a lengthy search word. For example, imagine you type in “Precision Engineering Specialist in Detroit”, that would have hit our servers more than 35 times (!!) previously, but it will only hit our server once now. Imagine how much processing power we’d have freed up to bring you results faster. Much faster.

Jobs search should be go far deeper than just job titles + location, no?

Next, you are now able to search for jobs the way search engines should be  – by relevancy. Type in whatever you desire in your career options (yes, MORE THAN job titles and location, include even keywords like “flexible hours”), and our engine will serve up to you results with just what you have in mind. (Tip: Demands are fine. Just don’t get too naughty with them.)

Yes, jobseekers can still find/apply for jobs without creating an account.

This winner of a feature is still here to stay.
