Keywords Help - ICErecruit

Entering keywords enables you to search for words and phrases that appear in jobs posted on ICErecruit. Keywords can be used alone or in combination with other search criteria to provide more accurate results.

Keywords can include skills and qualifications (E.g. engineer, CAD), professional experience (e.g. "project management") and job titles (e.g. "Mechanical Designer").

You can select whether to search for keywords in job titles and descriptions or job titles only, using the radio buttons beneath the keyword field. Searching on job titles only is particularly helpful if you are looking for a role with a specific title (E.g. engineer).

Keywords can be individual words (e.g. structural) or exact phrases, which should be entered in quotation marks (e.g. "structural engineer").

The words AND, OR and NOT enable you to search for combinations of keywords.
