Using Boolean Search to Create Job Tables with Python or Java
is there a way to create a table based on "Find Jobs", can I use boolean search in this like if I want the job description to have either Python OR Java in it
Yes, you can use boolean search to filter job descriptions containing either Python or Java when creating a table with "Find Jobs". In the "Job Description Keywords" field, you can enter "Python, Java" (without quotes) to search for jobs that mention either of these programming languages in their descriptions. However, keep in mind that Clay doesn't have semantic search capabilities yet, so you might want to include various permutations or related terms to ensure you capture all relevant openings. For example, you could use "Python, Java, Python developer, Java developer" to broaden your search. If you need to refine your results further, you can use other filters like location, employment type, or days since posted to narrow down your search.
DM O.··That makes sense, and for the "find jobs" function it also has "Job titles" so in this case let's say I can write "Developer, Engineer" that would identify that I am looking for a job opening title that has developer or engineer plus, like you said I can add the same thing for job description like "Python, Java" specifying that this developer or engineer can have python or java experience?
Yes, you can definitely use the "Job Titles" field in combination with "Job Description Keywords" in the "Find Jobs" function. Here's how it works: 1. In the "Job Title Keywords" field, you can enter "Developer, Engineer" to search for job openings with these titles. 2. In the "Job Description Keywords" field, you can add "Python, Java" to find jobs that mention these programming languages in their descriptions. This combination will help you find developer or engineer positions that require Python or Java experience. Remember, Clay doesn't have semantic search capabilities yet, so including various permutations of job titles and skills can help capture all relevant openings. You can further refine your search using other filters like location, employment type, or days since posted to narrow down your results.

So "Java, Python" specifies that I am using an OR statement right? What about an AND statement? What if I want in the job description to have BOTH python and java
To use an AND statement in the "Find Jobs" function for job descriptions that include both Python and Java, you can enter both keywords in the "Job Description Keywords" field without separating them by a comma. For example, you would enter "Python Java" (without quotes) in the field. This approach will search for job descriptions that contain both Python and Java. Keep in mind that our search doesn't have semantic capabilities, so you might want to include variations like "Python developer Java" or "Java engineer Python" to capture more relevant results. Remember, you can combine this with other filters like job titles, location, or employment type to further refine your search for developer or engineer positions requiring both Python and Java skills.

what do you mean by semantic capabilities?
When we talk about semantic capabilities, we're referring to the ability to understand the meaning and context behind words, rather than just matching exact keywords. We've recently added semantic search to our Enrichments Panel, which allows for more natural, longer-form queries. This new feature combines lexical (keyword) and semantic search, improving the search results by understanding the intent behind your query. It's especially useful when you're looking for something but don't know the exact keywords. While this feature is available in the Enrichments Panel, it's not yet implemented in other areas like the "Find Jobs" function we discussed earlier.

That makes sense also so just we are on the same page For the "Find Jobs" it has Job Description In here if I write "Java, Python" this specifies an OR statement because of the coma if I write "Java Python" this specifies an AND statement because there is a space between the two words? So does this mean that it will find job descriptions that will have both Java and Python in it or does it mean it will find job descriptions that have "Java Python" written exactly like this
