Sorting results
Four orders: best match, newest, salary and CV match. Sorting only reorders, it never removes a row.
- Best match: the server’s relevance order, returned untouched. Re-sorting it here would throw that ranking away.
- Newest: most recently posted first. Rows with no date sort last rather than being treated as new.
- Salary: annualised before comparing, so a day rate is not ranked below a yearly figure. Rows with no stated pay always sort last.
- CV match: best fit for your saved CV first. Needs a free account
Sorting only reorders. Anything that removes rows is a filter, gets a chip and is counted, so the result count can never drop without something on screen saying why.
Where it stops: Salary sorting never converts currencies. A euro figure and a pound figure are compared as numbers, so a mixed-currency result set sorts into an order that looks confident and is not meaningful. Narrow to one country if you are sorting on pay seriously.
