One of the most common requests for changes/enhancements to wowjobs was for a duplicate post filter. Duplicate postings could be a frustrating 'feature' and we had been looking at a way to address this issue since our beta launch. I'm happy to let you know that the first cut of our duplicate postings filter is now live and available for your use.
Duplicate posts occur because an employer or recruiter posts the same job on different job sites (for example, on monster, workopolis, bcjobs or craigslist). Or on the same site within different job categories (e.g. a Retail Clerk job posted in categories of Retail, Administrative and Others). While this is good from the perspective of the employer and the job board, it could be a time waster from the perspective of job seekers. Our aim at wowjobs is to make your Canadian job search experience simple and effective. And wherever we can help you save time and make your job search process easier, we'll throw in our time and energy.
With the first cut of the filter, we think we have captured a bulk of duplicate posts, but there still might be a few tricky ones that slip through our filters. If you find any of these, do let us know. We are working to fine tune our duplicate filters and hopefully in the coming months we'll have a very vast majority of duplicates captured.
Please keep the suggestions coming in....
