Searching Jobs

Selecting Jobs and Locations

Job Selection:

  • To select a job, click the Select jobs drop-down to find the jobs you're looking for

  • You can choose multiple roles from different job functions

  • To quickly find a specific role, start typing the job title in the search field within the drop-down

Location Selection:

  • Click on the Location field to select applicable Locations for the jobs you are looking for.

  • You can choose more than one location at a time.

Smart Match

  • Click on Smart Match to enable automatic selection of jobs

  • Drag and drop or upload your Job Description

By clicking the Back to manual selection button, you can return to the Market Data page to select job roles manually.

You can refine your search by applying additional filters by tapping on Filter button

Filter

Adjust your search to find the most relevant results using four Benchmark filters:

  • Industry - compare roles within a specific industry

  • Company Size - filter by number of employees

  • Revenue - narrow results by company revenue range

  • Community - roles in specific community

  • Organisations - allows you to include or exclude non-profit organisations from your search

  • New hires only - view data from roles hired in the last 3 months

  • Exclude founders - remove founder-level salaries from results

Browsing Results

Once you are satisfied with your selection, click on Browse Results to search the database

Once you select a job, location, or apply any filters, two additional buttons will appear next to the Browse Results button:

  • Reset - Clears your current search criteria and resets all selections.

  • Save Search - Allows you to save your selected filters, so you can easily reuse them without reapplying each time you return to the Market Data page.

To protect data privacy, minimum data requirements must be met before results are displayed. If there aren’t enough data points available, you’ll see a message saying ‘Not enough data’. If this happens:

  • Try removing some filters, or

  • Search for a different role using the job tree

This ensures privacy-protected data is displayed.
