Inconsistency in Job Posted Sources Results: A Concern?

Nicolas Polito · 2025-01-24 11:29:07.743487+00

Hey, is something broken with the Job Posted Sources? Today I got 1,890 results, and yesterday 2,707. But before that, the exact same filters returned consistently between 4 and 6k

This variation in results can occur due to a few factors: 1. API limitations may affect the number of results returned. For example, some job search APIs have restrictions on the number of keywords or results they can process. 2. Similar to how Find People searches work, the preview count might show a higher total, but the actual imported results may be lower due to applied filters or limitations.To improve your results, you can try: ** Reviewing and adjusting your search terms ** Expanding or modifying your keywords ** Checking your filter settings ** Refining your search parametersIf you continue to see unexpected variations in results, you may want to request human support to investigate further.

Yup, not that. It's the exact same search criteria, and I'm comparing actual imported results and not just previews

Hey Nicolas, nothing is broken with the Job Posted sources. Are you adding results to the same table? If so, it's possible the auto-dedupe is deleting jobs that have already been found in your table which is why you are seeing less new results for each run

Nicolas - Do you mind sending the link (url) to the table so we can take a look? Happy to confirm further https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1347419411/65baf32e1d2a789ffba395c6d35c/CleanShot+2025-01-22+at+_42I1FzxXHf%402x.png?expires=1737732600&signature=9ca289a8668bd7f9ac4a36b3676421257c4e8e029e6abb0791abd799f80ef46f&req=dSMjEc1%2FlIVeWPMW1HO4zVws4pYwDlaugvYjA82bedBdew%3D%3D%0A

Workflow is as follows: I get the jobs from the Job Posted source (4 different sources actually), check if I have already downloaded them (hence the 'Job already checked?' filter) There is de-duping also on the table, to make sure that the same job at the same company isn't added twice. But everything is 100% exactly the same from Tuesday to today, yet the results are less than half

No. Tanvi (Clay) is telling me that nothing seems wrong but support will check. There's something wrong 100%. Hope they find it and fix it

The last answer I got was 'I can confirm that Clay hasn't changed anything on our end with find jobs'. If not Clay, someone sure changed something, cause the data doesn't lie. The graph shows the number of results for the exact same source during the last 2 weeks
