What are Job Alerts?
Job Alerts let you save your favorite job searches and follow specific employers so you never miss a new opportunity. When jobs matching your criteria are posted, you'll receive email notifications automatically.
Saving a Search
- Go to the Job Board and use the filters (state, category, employment type, or keyword search) to find the jobs you're interested in.
- When filters are active, you'll see a "Save This Search" button above the results.
- Click it to open the save dialog. Give your search a name (we'll suggest one based on your filters) and choose your alert frequency.
- Click "Save Search" — done! You'll now receive alerts when new matching jobs are posted.
Following an Employer
- Open any job listing to view the full details.
- Next to the company name, click the "Follow" button (star icon).
- You'll now receive alerts whenever that employer posts new jobs.
- To unfollow, click the button again — it will change back to "Follow."
Alert Frequency Options
- Instant — Get an email as soon as a matching job is posted (checked every 5 minutes)
- Daily Digest — One email per day at 8 AM Pacific with all new matches
- Weekly Digest — One email every Monday with the week's new matches
- Off — Save the search but don't send email alerts
