Frequently Asked Questions

What is that "report" button for?

When jobs come from external sources, we do some automatic processing to determine if a given job is an English job. This works most of the time but not always. We rely on the users to help keep the list of jobs curated. When you click the report button, we receive a notification to manually review the listing, if it's indeed not an English-speaking job we'll remove it.

What qualifies as an English job?

We consider an English-speaking job one where English is the only mandatory language requirement. That does not mean that a candidate who speaks the local language or any other language could not be much better positioned to get the job than one who only speaks English. Just that English is the minimum requirement. When jobs come from external sources, sometimes no strict requirements are specified, in those cases we can only assume that if no requirement is defined and the job offer is written in English, that's the required language.

What are these jobs coming from?

Aside from the job offers that employers post directly in our website, we include jobs from a couple dozens other job portals and aggregators. Then the offers pass trough a complex automatic filter that includes language recognition, as well as detecting the required working language. This system is not prefect, currently does a better job at keeping local speaking jobs out that most other foreign languages. But we believe the site is already overall quite useful in its current estate.

Why do I need to register to see some jobs?

Some of the external jobs mentioned before belong to job boards that require registration to be able to see the offers. Other times, the companies providing us job data will require registration to prove that you are really a potential candidate and not a bot. In general is it recommended that you use a separate email address for your job search.
