Simplify’s Job Board

Simplify's Job Board helps you browse across millions of job listings while staying connected to the rest of your job search in one place.

Search and filters are designed to help you narrow a very large set of opportunities into a list that actually reflects what you want:

  • the kinds of roles you are targeting

  • where you want to work

  • your experience level

  • your application strategy

  • the jobs you still want to review

You do not need to configure every filter immediately. Most users start with a few simple constraints, then refine their searches as they learn what kinds of roles they are interested in.


Using search

The search bar is the fastest way to narrow the Job Board to a role, company, keyword, or location.

You can search for:

  • job titles

  • companies

  • locations

  • remote work terms

  • keywords related to the kind of work you want to do

Search updates results immediately and works alongside your filters.

For example, you might search for:

  • "product manager"

  • "New York"

  • "remote"

  • "machine learning"

  • a specific company name

The search functionality is meant to feel convenient so you can look up keywords quickly instead of spending time rebuilding filters every time you explore a different direction.


Using filters

Filters help turn a very large feed into a highly specific, focused set of opportunities.

The top-level filters include:

  • Location

  • Job Type

  • Experience Level

  • Category

  • More Filters

As you apply filters, the total number of matching jobs updates automatically so you can quickly understand whether your search is broad, narrow, or overly restrictive.

Most users do not need every filter at once. A few well-chosen filters are usually enough to make searches meaningfully better.

For many people, the most useful starting point is:

  • choosing a location preference

  • setting an experience level

  • hiding jobs they already applied to

  • enabling Simple Applications if they want a faster application workflow


Tips for yielding better search results

Most users do not start with a perfect search strategy. Job searches usually become more focused over time as you learn:

  • which titles companies actually use

  • which locations are realistic

  • what compensation ranges look like in the market

  • which kinds of roles are getting traction

A few habits tend to make searches feel substantially more manageable and more productive.

Sort by most recent

New job listings usually receive the most recruiter attention in their first couple of days, and we consistently see stronger outcomes from candidates who apply early.

Sorting by most recent helps surface newly opened roles before they become buried under hundreds or thousands of applications. Prioritize fresh opportunities while they are still actively moving through early recruiting stages.

Many users pair:

  • Sort by Most Recent

  • Experience Level

  • Location

  • Simple Applications

to create a high-signal search they can check regularly throughout the week.

Use Simple Applications when you want to move quickly

This filter surfaces jobs that support Simplify Copilot's faster application flow.

Simplify Copilot is Simplify's browser extension for filling out repeated application fields using your Simplify profile.

You still review everything on the company's application page before submitting.

We built Copilot around one of the most repetitive parts of the application process: re-entering the same information across dozens of applications. It helps reduce repetitive work so you can spend more time evaluating roles, tailoring resumes, and preparing thoughtful applications where it matters.

💡 Tip: When paired with recent-job sorting, Simple Applications can make it much easier to stay on top of new opportunities without turning applications into a full-time administrative task.

Start broad, then narrow over time

Many users begin with:

  • location

  • remote preferences

  • experience level

Then refine searches later using salary, company preferences, or more specific keywords.

This usually works better than starting with highly restrictive filters immediately.

Heads up: Compensation transparency varies a lot across companies and regions. Starting with a very narrow salary filter too early can hide roles that may still be worth exploring.

Searches tend to improve as you learn more about:

  • the market

  • hiring patterns

  • role naming conventions

  • where interviews are actually converting


Saving searches

Once you find a combination of searches and filters you want to revisit, you can save the search using the heart icon on the Job Board.

Saved searches let you create separate job search views instead of trying to manage everything in one feed.

For example, you might maintain different searches for:

  • remote software engineering internships

  • entry-level product roles

  • full-time data jobs in New York

  • jobs with Simple Applications enabled

  • roles above a specific salary range

This becomes more useful over time as your search expands across:

  • multiple locations

  • different role types

  • internships and full-time roles

  • different industries

  • different application strategies

We designed saved searches because most real job searches are not linear. People often explore several paths at once, compare markets, or shift priorities during the process. Separate saved views make that easier to manage without rebuilding filters every session.


Sharing your job searches

You can also share saved searches with other people.

Shared searches open as live filtered job views, so anyone else with the link can browse the same curated set of opportunities, even if they do not have Simplify accounts.

This is especially useful for sharing:

  • internship lists

  • recruiting pipelines

  • curated role collections

  • location-specific opportunities

  • role-specific job feeds

Because these are live searches rather than static screenshots or spreadsheets, the results can continue updating as new jobs are added.
