Version 3.14.0
New markets, better search, and coaches can switch plans
3.14.0 opens new markets and fixes a long list of things that were quietly getting in the way: jobs left out of your feed because of how a place was written, prices that could disagree with what you were actually charged, and a career field for people whose work had none.
New markets and pricing
- Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay join Auto Search, at a lower Latin America price of US$4.99 a month or US$49.90 a year. Each market is searched in its own language (Portuguese in Brazil, Spanish everywhere else), and accents are optional when you type a city, so "Bogota" or "Sao Paulo" still finds the right one.
- More jobs in Latin America. Another job board now covers all seven Latin American countries, and jobs listed only by country are kept, so searches around Montevideo or Lima return jobs where they could come back empty.
- More European countries bill in euros. Bulgaria, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, Kosovo and Montenegro now bill in euros with no choice to make, alongside the countries that already did. Eight countries still let you choose between euros and US dollars.
- The price you see is the price you pay. Checking out from Settings or the reactivate page could show one price and charge another. Checkout now always uses the price for the country you are in.
- German and Spanish homepages. jobintel.com/de and jobintel.com/es are now fully German and Spanish homepages.
- Portuguese Help and app language. The User Guide and FAQ are now available in Portuguese, and Portuguese is an app language option, alongside English, German, Spanish and French. Portuguese Help videos are still on their way.
- Seven new career fields, so more of what people do for a living has a home: Finance & Accounting, Sales & Marketing, Engineering (Non-Software), Administrative & Operations, Construction & Skilled Trades, Manufacturing & Logistics, and Legal. Choosing one of these gets you the matching skills, from welding certifications to bookkeeping software, instead of the general skill list.
- The pricing page lists only what the plan includes. A few items left over from the old free plan are gone.
- The pricing page shows the price for the country you're in. It no longer offers other countries' prices.
- The Monthly and Annual switch on the pricing page works on the first tap, even on a slow connection.
Better location matching
- More US towns, neighbourhoods and local place names are recognized. Jobs in places like Tysons, Virginia or Suitland-Silver Hill, Maryland now show up in location-based searches instead of being left out.
- Jobs stay in the state they name. A job in Portland, Maine, Columbus, Georgia or McLean, Virginia could be placed in a town of the same name in another state. A place written with its state is now found in that state.
- A saved search written out in full keeps to its radius. A saved location like "Austin, Texas" or "Seattle, WA 98101" could bring in jobs from anywhere. It now searches only the distance you set.
- A radius search now works outside the US. A job in Berlin now shows up in a Berlin search with a radius, and the same goes for every market.
- "Washington DC" and similar city and state pairs are recognized without a comma. Jobs listed as "Washington DC", "New York NY" or "Salt Lake City UT" now appear in location searches.
- A country name is no longer mistaken for a town. A job listed simply as "Ukraine", "India" or "Canada" is no longer placed at a small village of the same name thousands of miles away. Region names like Wales, Bavaria or Normandy are recognized too.
- Distances in Indian cities are measured from the city center. Bengaluru and several other Indian cities were placed a few miles off.
- The message shown when a search finds only a few jobs now fits the country you searched.
- The Jobs page location suggestions put the real city first. Typing Berlin, London, Paris, Cambridge or Bath used to sometimes suggest a small place with the same name in another country ahead of the city you meant.
- Jobs in Greece listed with Greek place names now appear in location searches. Listings written as Αθήνα, Θεσσαλονίκη or Ελλάδα were left out of searches around Athens, Thessaloniki or anywhere in Greece.
- Location suggestions on the Jobs page appear faster when you filter by a place in any of your countries.
- The location field shows the right hint for your country. It suggests a city and a postal code where postal codes work, or just a city where they don't. If you type a postal code in a country without them, it tells you to type a city instead.
- The location hint follows your language straight away. Changing the app language on Auto Search used to leave the location hints in the old language until you left the page.
- Postal codes now work for Luxembourg, Latvia and Malta. Codes like L-1111, LV-1001 or VLT 1117 used to find nothing.
- Jobs in Ukraine listed with Cyrillic place names now appear in location searches. Listings written as Харків were left out of searches around Kharkiv.
Search
- Google Jobs results reach more searches, including remote searches and US locations saved with a ZIP code, which used to get none from it.
- A search that finds nothing in the local language tries once more in English. Searches in cities like Thessaloniki or Lyon could come back empty from Google Jobs even though jobs were there. They now get results.
- Searches start sooner at busy times, and a waiting search says so. When many people search at once, your search now starts sooner, and while it waits, the notice says it can take a few minutes to start.
- A slow job board no longer looks like a stuck search. While a job board takes a long time to answer, the search progress now shows that it is still searching, and for how long. The progress keeps moving while your new jobs are being saved, too.
- A busy job board no longer costs you results. When a job board was briefly overloaded, a search could quietly miss its jobs. Searches now try it again, and if it still doesn't answer, your search history shows that board as failed instead of as finding no jobs.
- Auto Search tells you when it can't find a place. If a location you type can't be found on the map, saving now asks you to choose a town or postal code from the suggestions, instead of saving a place your search can't use. Typing over a place you picked clears it, so the search uses what you see. When you first set up your account, the search step suggests places as you type in the same way.
- Saving your search settings during a search no longer breaks the next one. Saving changes while a search was running, and then starting another, could run two searches at once and fail with an unexpected error. Now only one search runs at a time for your settings.
- "Run my search now" works for long searches. On the notice that your feed paused while you were away, a search that took more than a minute showed an error even though it finished. The button now shows the same live progress as Search Now.
- The Source preview shows what will really run. Turning on Include US Government jobs now updates the search preview to match your setting.
- Your feed stays in the countries you search. A remote job reaches you only when it is open to one of your search countries, or open anywhere in the world when the listing says so. On-site jobs outside your countries are left out, and job boards that serve one country, like Germany's, only run for searches in the countries they cover. If you search remote jobs without a location, the country in your profile is used. This applies to new jobs; jobs already in your feed stay where they are.
- Search Now works right after an automatic search, and tells you when one is still running. Pressing it just after an automatic search had finished could be refused for up to 15 minutes. Now it runs. If a search really is still going, a note beside the button says so and that new jobs will appear in your feed when it finishes, and a running search's progress scrolls into view.
- Match scores start arriving sooner after a search, especially at busy times when several searches are being scored at once.
- Search history shows the jobs a search left out. In a search's breakdown, the "remote excluded" and "radius excluded" buttons now list their jobs, and if a list can't load, it says so instead of showing an empty list.
- A search stops checking more job boards once it has enough new jobs. Search history marks the boards it skipped, and no time is spent on results that would be thrown away.
Your job feed and account
- Salaries with cents now read correctly. A listing showing "$58.00 to $68.00 an hour" could show an unreasonably large number, or lose the cents. Weekly, daily and monthly salaries are now converted to a yearly figure the same way hourly ones are, and a salary that still doesn't make sense is left blank rather than shown wrong.
- Detailed job postings get a match score. A posting that lists a lot of skills could show "Not scored". It now gets a match score like any other.
- Sorting by Match Score puts scored jobs first after a search. Jobs that could not be scored no longer sit at the top of the list for an hour after a search.
- Your Ready score counts jobs near you. If you set a preferred location, a job inside one of your search areas, or a remote job when you include remote work, now counts as a location match. Before, only a job whose location was spelled like yours counted.
- Setting up your account fills in more for you. The location and job title you give during setup now also fill in Auto Search's preferred location and your profile's target job titles, unless you already set them.
- The career field suggested from your résumé covers every field. Engineering and office administration résumés now suggest Engineering (Non-Software) or Administrative & Operations.
- Unarchive Selected restores your jobs. In the Archived view, Unarchive Selected on several jobs didn't bring them back. It now restores the jobs you picked and tells you how many came back.
- Your résumé's skills list no longer repeats itself. Some résumés showed the same skill more than once on the skills step. Each skill now appears once.
- Working on a job no longer resets the page. Re-extracting skills, archiving or editing a job no longer reloads the whole job page or closes a menu you had open.
- Checkboxes look like checkboxes. A few settings, including the ones that keep sensitive fields out of automated matching, now use the same switches and checkboxes as the rest of the app.
- The "Your data export is ready" email's Download Export button opens your JobIntel settings, where you can download the file. It used to open a page that couldn't be reached.
Signing in and creating an account
- Create Account no longer resets the form in the evening. For part of each evening, the page could reset and clear what you had already typed.
- Text you type before the page finishes loading is no longer lost. Typing or autofilling a sign-in, sign-up or newsletter form in the moment before it was ready could lose what you entered, or reload the page empty. What you type now stays, and the button waits until the form is ready.
- Delete My Data now signs you out. Confirming account erasure used to leave you signed in on a page you could no longer really use. Confirming now signs you out and takes you to the sign-in page.
Résumé and interview practice
- A short first-time tour points out your résumé and job-matching tools, and an interview practice answer can be retried without starting the session over.
- Checking your résumé against a job now warns you when the posting looks fake, has closed, or has expired, and names the job it means. Skill-gap guidance sections collapse so they're easier to scan, and "Show on résumé" links jump straight to the matching line.
- Very long job descriptions no longer fail the résumé-versus-job check.
- Ending a practice interview tells you if it didn't work. If End failed, the button simply came back with no message. Now you see what happened, your answers stay saved, and you can keep going or press End again. If the interview was deleted in another tab, it says that instead.
- Deleting a practice interview while your last answer is being scored now tells you straight away to try again in a moment, instead of making you wait half a minute first.
Staying in touch
- A newsletter for people who are not signed up yet. You can now subscribe on the blog and marketing pages without creating an account, with a confirmation email you have to click before you're on the list (double opt-in) and one-click unsubscribe on every email afterward. We disclose that we track whether you open or click these emails, in the subscribe form and in the Privacy page.
- "What brought you here?" New accounts are asked, once and optionally, where they heard about JobIntel: search engine, an AI assistant, LinkedIn, Reddit, a friend or colleague, a career coach, or something else. Skip it if you'd rather not say.
For career coaches
Coach tools are in beta. We're still improving the Coach Console, and some things may not work as expected yet. Coaches stay free during the beta. Tell us what you find and we'll fix it fast: the For Coaches page and every Coach Console page now carry a Beta notice with a link to do that.
- A coach without a paid plan can start a trial. A coach without a plan had no way to choose one, because the setup steps got in the way. Picking a plan now comes first.
- Plan button labels are no longer cut off. Coach plan buttons now show their whole label at every screen width.
- Switch plans from inside the app. Coaches on a paid plan can now move to a different plan in the app. Switching changes the plan you have, prorates the difference, keeps a trial running if you're on one, and if you're moving to a plan with fewer client seats, you choose who keeps access.
- Your console numbers are current when you load the page, not just after the next overnight refresh. Client badges and the stalled-application count update when you sign in or check the page again, with a "Figures as of" line and a Refresh button so you know how fresh what you're looking at is.
- Filtering the activity feed by cohort stays filtered. Clients outside the group you picked could reappear a moment after the filter was applied.
- Editing a note on a client's timeline saves what you typed. The edit could sometimes save the note's old title instead.
- A new coach chooses a plan before confirming their email. Signing up as a coach could skip the plan choice and land on the email confirmation page. You now pick your plan first and confirm your email afterward.
- Coach setup no longer asks for a plan you already chose. The setup had a plan step after payment whose cards could not be clicked. It is gone.
- Your coach display name starts as your own name, instead of an example name.
- Coach Settings works like everyone else's. It now has Profile, Preferences, Billing and Security tabs. Billing shows your plan, renewal date and how many of your client seats are in use, with Manage Subscription and Cancel subscription. If you switch tabs with unsaved changes, it asks before discarding them.
- Sign In on the For Coaches page opens the coach sign-in. It used to open the job seeker sign-in screen.
- Confirming your email and signing out also lead to the coach sign-in. After confirming their email, signing out, or when their session ended, a coach landed on the job seeker sign-in screen, even from the job search pages. Opening the coach sign-in or sign-up page directly no longer shows the job seeker panel for a moment first.
- Invite several clients at once. The Invite page and the setup's invite step take one row per client, and each invitation is emailed to your client from JobIntel, with their replies coming to you. Every invitation needs an email address. If you leave setup with invitations you filled in but didn't send, it asks whether to send them first.
- Open invitations count toward your plan's client limit. Your clients plus the invitations still waiting for an answer can't go over your plan. Revoking an invitation, or letting it expire, frees its place.
- The Invite page says how long an invitation lasts. An invitation lasts 7 days. One that isn't accepted by then expires and frees its place, so you can send a new one. The Coach Guide said 30 days; it now says 7.
- A client can answer an invitation without being signed in first. Opening the invitation signed out now says to sign in or create an account, and offers both. The client's Accept or Decline is kept while they do, and it is the answer recorded. Before, signing in lost the invitation, and a Decline followed by a new account could connect the client anyway. The invitation email says the same.
- Your name now appears on the invitation page your client opens, even if you haven't set a display name. The page used to leave your name blank, and your clients' coaching pages now show your name the same way.
Looking ahead
- We're working on future iOS support.
Other fixes
- A few settings, including a coach's bio, can now be cleared to blank.
- Dialogs are no longer hidden behind the cookie notice. Until you answered the analytics cookie question, its banner could cover the buttons at the bottom of a dialog, including the setup screens for new accounts, so they couldn't be pressed.
- Downloading a file attached to feedback or a support ticket now saves it, instead of opening it in a new tab.
- Punctuation is simpler and more consistent across the app, in emails and in AI-written suggestions.
