When you search for a job on Indeed or Linkedin, you may see more results than on TheirStack. This is because Indeed uses broader keyword matching, while TheirStack prioritizes precision.
The difference lies in how job searches are conducted on TheirStack versus platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor. Let's focus on Indeed as an example, though the same principles apply to other providers.
Job boards like Indeed use broader keyword matching:
On TheirStack, we prioritize precision. Our job title filter is deterministic, meaning it only returns results with an exact match for the keywords you provide. This approach ensures greater accuracy in the search results.
Indeed and LinkedIn typically display jobs that have been posted or reposted within the last 30 days by default, whereas TheirStack does not automatically filter jobs based on their reposted date.
We're working on
We scrape jobs from various sources, including company career pages, LinkedIn, and job boards. To avoid duplication, we save only the first instance of a job posting. For example, if a job appears on a company's career page and on Indeed, only the first source is stored.
Filtering by scraping_source = Indeed will return only jobs initially found on Indeed, which may reduce the results. We recommend using broader filters for a more comprehensive search.
