Careerjet claims to be the most globally comprehensive job search engine on the web. It is comprised of over 50 different country-specific job search websites. Careerjet is translated into 20 languages, with both the job listings and interface localized to the language and location of the job seeker audience.

Careerjet uses automated multi-lingual semantic analysis technology to identify and classify online job offerings.

Over 58,000 websites are scanned daily for sites featuring job openings. Job seekers from all corners off the world will find open positions advertised on Careerjet for these regions: Europe, North America, Central America, Caribbean, South America, Africa, Middle East, Asia and the Pacific.

How accessible is all this information? Is the huge amount of information a boon or is it just too much information?

Is it any good?

Pandia is located in Norway, so I decided to have a look at Careerjet.no.

We found 5630 jobs in Oslo (Norway’s capital). That’s a little less than the leading provider of online job ads in Norway, Finn.no, which lists 6631 jobs.

You can search for jobs on national level, county level, municipality or city level and even find jobs in specific city districts.

When you get to the level of city district, it becomes obvious that the source information is inadequate. Many of the job listings do not provide data about city district, so we find few jobs this way.

You can also browse a large selection of job categories. Here a flaw in Careerjet’s analysis becomes obvious: Along with jobs in Norway, we also find job listings from neighboring Sweden.

There are options to sort your results to show full time or part time, permanent or temporary positions. You can also sort by relevance, date or salary, which are options that are not available at Finn.no.

I also had a look at Careerjet.com and the job market for Waschington DC. I found 47577 jobs. It was easier to browse the jobs here than on Careerjet.no because on the Norwegian site some jobs were listed in English, some in Norwegian.

Browsing Careerjet.com for US jobs, I wondered just how comprehensive the listings were: For New York State only these cities were listed: Buffalo, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse and Yonkers. For the Norwegian counties, every municipality was listed.

The next time I’m looking for a job, will I use Careerjet? Maybe.

If I was looking for a job abroad I definitely would. Careerjet offers some very convenient tools for people on the global job market.
