TopSEARCH TIPS

Starting your search

After signing in, you can use Hound just like any other general search engine. To conduct a quick search from the Hound homepage, follow these steps:

Step 1
In the box marked "Keywords," type in words that describe the kind of job you are looking for. For example, you might enter job titles or required skills.

Step 2
In the box marked "Location," enter the name of the state or city or the zip code in which you want to work.

Step 3
In the box marked "Company" enter the name of the company / employer for which you want to work.

Step 4
Click the button marked "Search" or press the "Enter" key on your keyboard.

Note:

  1. If you have entered two or more keywords, jobs containing ANY of the words specified by you will be displayed.
  2. By default, the jobs matching your keywords located within 25 miles of the location you have specified will be displayed. If you have changed the default value for "Distance" in your preference settings, the search engine will consider that.


Looking for exact phrases

To obtain results containing the exact phrase you are looking for, enclose the phrase in quotation marks in the box marked "Keywords". For example, you might type in "IT manager."

Case sensitivity/Capitalization

The search is not case dependent.
For example, you can type in "Health Care" or "health care" and get the same results.

Refining your search

To refine your search in the face of a large number of results:

Check if you have filled in the "Location" option. Filling in the zip code usually gives more focused results. Add a few more options in the "Keywords" box. Also, try excluding the words that are not of use. Type in the minus sign (-) before the term that is to be dropped. You can also enter the employers' name in the "Company" box.

Searching by job title

To search for a particular job title (for example, "director"), enter your keywords in the following format: title:director.

To search for job titles containing two words, use parenthesis as shown here: title:(senior engineer).

Keeping track of previous searches

You can see all your last searches in the "My Searches" tab in "My Hound" section. This allows you to keep track of the searches you have already conducted and prevents you from having to begin the process all over again.

Advanced search option tips

Enter keywords into the fields on the advanced search page to find more specific results matching your search criteria. Advanced search options include:

  1. "With all of these words." This field allows you to search for job listings including all the keywords you have specified. For example, if you type in "legal attorney" Hound will search for all jobs with the keywords "legal", "attorney" and "legal attorney".

  2. "With the exact phrase." This field allows you to search for job listings including the exact phrase you have specified. For example, if you type in "legal attorney" Hound will search for job listings with the exact phrase "legal attorney".

  3. "With at least one of these words." This field allows you to search for jobs including at least one of the keywords you have specified. For example, if you type in "legal attorney" Hound will search for all job listings containing the keywords "legal", "attorney" and "legal attorney".

  4. "With none of these words." This field allows you to search for job listings without the keywords you have specified. For example, if you type in "legal attorney" Hound will search for all job listings without the phrase "legal attorney".

  5. "With these words in the title." This field allows you to search for jobs with specific titles that you have entered as keywords. For example, if you type in "attorney" Hound will search for all job listings with the title "attorney".

  6. "From this company." This field allows you to search for jobs with a specific company whose name you have entered as a keyword. For example, if you type in "dell" Hound will search for all job openings at Dell.
