Troubleshooting Clay Search: Filtering Jobs by Company Keywords

Hey all, first day using Clay and confused on some behavior I am experiencing. I have a table of companies, and want to search for jobs at those companies with specific keywords in the description. The issue I am running into is it does not matter if I add the Clay table in the companies option, the results I get are the same. I have searched the companies it is returning and for the most part none are in the original companies table. This appears to be happening intermittently, sometimes I can get it to work after running a number of times. Am I missing something?

There are a few key factors that could affect your job search results:1. Clay doesn't have semantic search capabilities yet, so you'll need to include various permutations of job titles to ensure you capture all relevant openings. 2. When searching within specific companies, make sure you've properly selected your Clay table in the Companies section, where you can choose between a saved Clay table or a comma-separated list of company names.To improve your results:1. Be comprehensive with your search terms by including different variations of the job titles 2. Start with broader search parameters and then gradually narrow them down 3. Double-check that your company list is properly selected in the search parameters Sources: Find Jobs Source + Enrichment [Clay 101] - Clay University Find People Overview - Clay University

Hey James! Welcome to Clay - excited to have you here! I see what's happening with your job search setup. Let me help troubleshoot: - Are you using company domains or LinkedIn URLs in your table? - Is this happening with all companies or just some? - Could you share the table URL where you saved the results? Here's what's likely going on: Sometimes when using domains instead of LinkedIn URLs, Clay might match with different companies (like portfolio companies or companies with different LinkedIn domain names). The good news is there's an easy fix - you can manually filter these in the "comma separated list" tab using Ctrl/Cmd + F to search and remove unwanted companies For best results, here's the typical step by step to get results: 1. Adding your target companies table 2. Including all your keywords 3. Hit preview to see the jobs matching your criteria. 4. Save in the table, and send it to us if there's any issues or use filters to filter them out Let me know which method you're using and I can give you more specific guidance!
