Job Abstracts uses proprietary technology to keep the availability and accuracy of its job listings and their details. All trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and job descriptions are the property of their respective holder. Job Abstracts does not have its members apply for a job on the jobabstracts.com website. Additionally, Job Abstracts may provide a list of third-party job listings that may not be affiliated with any employer. Please make sure you understand and agree to the website's Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies you are applying on as they may differ from ours and are not in our control.
Any time you conduct a search, the system shows you job matches, ranked by their Relevance Score (RS).
The score is calculated by a proprietary algorithm that uses Intelligent Machine Learning.
The Relevance Score tells you how well the job opportunity matches your search term or terms.
When not logged in, the system is limited to one search term. Scores for single term matches are usually lower.
When you register, log in, and set up multiple terms prioritized by importance, the jobs found for you will receive a much higher Relevance Score.
