How to Use JobBloom: Search Jobs, Research Companies, Find People
A step-by-step guide to searching for jobs on JobBloom, reading your results, learning about each company, and finding people who work there.
Johnson ·
JobBloom searches company career sites and job boards for open jobs, checks that each listing still works, and ranks the matches for you. You describe the job you want in plain English. There are no filters to fight with and no account to create.
This guide walks you through a search from start to finish, then shows two features that help once you've found a job you like: About company and View people.
Step 1: Describe the job you want
On the JobBloom home page, type what you're looking for into the search box. Write it the way you'd describe it to a friend: the role, plus the skills or details that matter most.
Some examples that work well:
"Product designer jobs, Figma, design systems"
"Remote customer support jobs, Zendesk"
"Entry-level finance jobs in Lagos"
"Senior backend engineer, Python or Go, posted this week"
A good search usually names the role and two or three must-have skills. Adding too many details can leave you with very few matches.
Already have a resume? You can start a search from your resume instead.
Step 2: Choose a location
Below the search box, click the location button (it says Anywhere to start) and pick a country, continent, or region. Type to find it quickly.
Leave it on Anywhere if location doesn't matter, or if you've already named a city in your search, such as "jobs in Manchester".
Under Search settings, you can also choose which job boards to search. Most people can leave this as it is.
Step 3: Search and review your results
Press the arrow button to search. JobBloom works out what you're looking for, searches company career sites, removes listings that look closed, and ranks the rest. It usually takes a moment.
Your results page shows how JobBloom understood your search, under Searched for, followed by the matching jobs.
You can change your search or location right on this page and search again.
Step 4: Read a job card
Each job card gives you the essentials at a glance:
Match score: how closely the job fits what you asked for.
Summary: what the role involves, in a few sentences.
Skills and tags: the main skills and details from the listing.
Location, job type, and posting date, when the listing includes them.
Click View role to open the original job posting and apply. The other two buttons help you decide whether to apply, and who to talk to.
If only a few jobs match exactly, you may also see Related roles at the bottom of your results. These are close to your search but miss a skill, date, or other detail, and they're clearly labelled.
Step 5: Learn about the company
Click About company to see a short background on the employer, written from public web sources. The first time a company is looked up it takes a few seconds; after that it's usually much quicker.
Depending on what's publicly available, you'll see:
Overview: what the company does and who its customers are.
Key facts: when it was founded, where it's based, its industry, size, and website.
History: how the company got started and how it has grown.
Worth knowing before you apply: a few highlights you can mention in a cover letter or interview.
This summary is written automatically from public sources, so double-check anything important on the company's own website before relying on it.
Step 6: Find people who work there
Click View people to find public LinkedIn profiles of people who currently work at the company. It's the quickest way to find someone to ask about the role, the team, or a referral.
There are two modes:
All people shows people currently at the company. This is where you'll find future teammates and potential hiring managers.
Recruiters narrows the list to recruiters, talent partners, and other hiring contacts.
Smaller companies often don't have a dedicated recruiter. In that case JobBloom tells you so, and you can switch back with Show all people instead.
Click View LinkedIn profile on anyone to open their profile. Before you reach out, check that they work on a team related to the job. Our free hiring manager finder can also suggest who is most likely to be hiring, along with short message templates.
Tips for better searches
Lead with the role. "Product designer jobs, Figma" works better than "Figma jobs".
Use "or" for alternatives. "Python or Go" finds jobs that ask for either.
Say when it must be recent. Add "posted this week" or "posted this month" to see only new listings.
Be clear about remote work. "Remote jobs open to applicants in Nigeria" is more useful than "remote", because many remote jobs only hire in certain countries.
Widen the search if results are thin. Try a broader title, drop a skill, or choose a bigger region.
Frequently asked questions
Is JobBloom free?
Yes. You can search, read company backgrounds, and view people without creating an account.
Where do the jobs come from?
JobBloom searches company career sites and the hiring systems many companies use, such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workday, then checks that each job link still works before showing it to you.
Why don't I see a match score of 100%?
The score reflects how closely the listing matches every part of your search. Even a strong match can miss a minor detail, so treat it as a guide and read the job yourself.
Can I trust the company background?
It's a helpful starting point, written from public web sources. Always confirm important details, such as size or funding, on the company's own website.
