Searching and Filtering Jobs

Search by keyword and narrow results with filters for job type, salary, location, experience, category, sponsorship, and posted date on the Search page.

  • Type a role or company into the search bar on Search to pull up matching jobs.
  • Stack filters — Job Type, Salary, Location, Experience, Category, Sponsorship, and Posted — to zero in on the right roles.
  • Every active filter shows as a pill; remove them one at a time or use Clear all to reset.

The Search page is where you go hunting for jobs on your own terms. Start broad with a keyword, then layer on filters until the list looks like roles you'd actually apply to. Here's how each piece works.

How to search and filter

  1. Open Search from the sidebar.
  2. Type into the search bar — it's labeled Search jobs, companies... — to match on a job title (like “product manager”) or a company name. Results update as you refine your query.
  3. Click any filter button to open its dropdown, then pick one or more options. Filters are multi-select, so you can choose, say, both Full-Time and Contract at once.
  4. Combine filters across different categories to narrow further. The results list reflects everything you've selected.
  5. Found something promising? Open the job to read details, or use Quick Apply to submit right away.

What each filter does

Filters sit in a row above your results. Each one opens a dropdown of choices, and you can select as many as you like within — and across — them.

  • Job Type — the employment arrangement: Full-Time, Part-Time, Contract, Internship, Co-Op, Freelance, and Temporary.
  • Salary — preset annual pay ranges, from Under $50k up through $350k+. Pick any range that fits your target comp.
  • Location — grouped by Work Style (Remote, Hybrid, On-site), countries, US states, and major cities. You can also type a location into the dropdown's search box to add one that isn't listed.
  • Experience — the seniority band: Intern, New Grad, Junior, Mid-Level, Senior, Staff, Principal, and Lead. This is about level, separate from Job Type.
  • Category — the job's field or function (for example engineering, design, or marketing), so you can keep results inside your area.
  • Sponsorship — toggle Sponsors visas to surface only roles open to visa sponsorship, and optionally pick a visa type like H-1B, TN, E-3, O-1, OPT/CPT, or Green Card.
  • Posted — how recently the job went live: Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, or Last 30 days. Great for catching fresh listings first.
💡 Tip Looking for jobs you can apply to without leaving Aplyr? Turn on the Quick Apply toggle to show only roles that support one-click submission. There's also a bookmark button to show only the jobs you've saved.

Active filter pills and clearing filters

Once a filter is on, it appears as a pill just below the filter row. A single choice shows its label (like Senior); multiple choices in the same filter collapse into a count (like Job Type (2)). This row is your at-a-glance summary of what's currently narrowing the list.

To loosen things up:

  • Click the × on any pill to remove that one filter.
  • Open a filter's dropdown and use its Clear link to reset just that filter.
  • Click Clear all at the end of the pill row to wipe every filter at once and start fresh.
📌 Note Narrow searches can hide good roles. If your list looks thin, drop a filter or two — widening the salary range or removing a location restriction usually brings back more matches.

Search vs. Today's Matches

Search is for active, self-directed hunting: you decide the keyword and the filters. Today's Matches is the complement — it surfaces roles Aplyr picks for you, scored against your profile, with no querying required. Use Search when you have something specific in mind, and check Today's Matches for a curated daily shortlist.

💡 Tip When you find roles worth a second look but aren't ready to apply, save them. They'll be one bookmark-filter click away next time you open Search.
