    Jobserve searches

    The changes to Jobserve from a few months ago are a complete PIA.

    To confirm I am/am not a noddy, you can no longer do a countrywide search, can you?

    The maximum is 100 miles distance, right?

    I also hate the 'Industries' drop down but that's another story!

    Just don't specify a location and then it's a Europe-wide search.

    You sir, are a noddy.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      I never specify a Location and always set the distance to 100 miles.

      I think the fact that there have been so few positions in my skillset and most of them have been within 100 miles of my geographical location (TV & London) made me assume the search was being restricted to 100 miles.

      Noddy it is (for making this assumption).

        Just put UK in the Location field. I set the distance to 100 miles and get all UK jobs for the criteria I enter.
        I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

          WHS - although (to be pedantic) it's Europe, Africa and northern Asia wide.

            Also the search button is mostly obscured all the time, I can only see the top 1/4 of it.

              Yes strange system - just want to search the uk and its abit dramatic to tick a box saying europe,middle east, africa and russia - (even though i know you can use a radius search anyway). Globalisation is alive and kicking at JS.

                In the good old days you used to be able to set up a standard search and bookmark the results page. I had three searches for the three separate areas in which I work.
                Now it just messes up with all bookmarks re-running the last search.

                  The problem with the location search is that it cuts too much off.

                  I noticed that if you were searching around a postcode, then it has a habit of cutting off adverts which are advertised by country or 'down the M3/M4'

                  A date of the advert would be great as well, that way you could sort on it. Not sure thats there.
                  What happens in General, stays in General.
                  You know what they say about assumptions!

                    I've been using this site's contract search - that's a simple search that sorts on date.
