Searches for jobs using the provided SearchJobsRequest. This API call is intended for the use case of targeting passive job seekers (for example, job seekers who have signed up to receive email alerts about potential job opportunities), and has different algorithmic adjustments that are targeted to passive job seekers. This call constrains the visibility of jobs present in the database, and only returns jobs the caller has permission to search against.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/jobs

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: jobs3 --scope <scope> projects jobs-search-for-alert ...

Required Scalar Argument

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

• -r . disable-keyword-match=false
  • Optional. Controls whether to disable exact keyword match on Job.job_title, Job.description, Job.company_display_name, Job.locations, Job.qualifications. When disable keyword match is turned off, a keyword match returns jobs that do not match given category filters when there are matching keywords. For example, the query "program manager," a result is returned even if the job posting has the title "software developer," which does not fall into "program manager" ontology, but does have "program manager" appearing in its description. For queries like "cloud" that does not contain title or location specific ontology, jobs with "cloud" keyword matches are returned regardless of this flag's value. Please use Company.keyword_searchable_custom_fields or Company.keyword_searchable_custom_attributes if company specific globally matched custom field/attribute string values is needed. Enabling keyword match improves recall of subsequent search requests. Defaults to false.
• diversification-level=amet.
  • Optional. Controls whether highly similar jobs are returned next to each other in the search results. Jobs are identified as highly similar based on their titles, job categories, and locations. Highly similar results are clustered so that only one representative job of the cluster is displayed to the job seeker higher up in the results, with the other jobs being displayed lower down in the results. Defaults to DiversificationLevel.SIMPLE if no value is specified.
• enable-broadening=false
  • Optional. Controls whether to broaden the search when it produces sparse results. Broadened queries append results to the end of the matching results list. Defaults to false.

• histogram-facets simple-histogram-facets=sed

  • Optional. Specifies the simple type of histogram facets, for example, COMPANY_SIZE, EMPLOYMENT_TYPE etc.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• ..job-query.commute-filter allow-imprecise-addresses=false

  • Optional. If true, jobs without "precise" addresses (street level addresses or GPS coordinates) might also be returned. For city and coarser level addresses, text matching is used. If this field is set to false or is not specified, only jobs that include precise addresses are returned by Commute Search. Note: If allow_imprecise_addresses is set to true, Commute Search is not able to calculate accurate commute times to jobs with city level and coarser address information. Jobs with imprecise addresses will return a travel_duration time of 0 regardless of distance from the job seeker.
• commute-method=sanctus
  • Required. The method of transportation for which to calculate the commute time.
• departure-time hours=10
  • Hours of day in 24 hour format. Should be from 0 to 23. An API may choose to allow the value "24:00:00" for scenarios like business closing time.

  • Seconds of minutes of the time. Must normally be from 0 to 59. An API may allow the value 60 if it allows leap-seconds.

• .. road-traffic=eos

  • Optional. Specifies the traffic density to use when calculating commute time.
• start-coordinates latitude=0.9082902847882928
  • The latitude in degrees. It must be in the range [-90.0, +90.0].

  • The longitude in degrees. It must be in the range [-180.0, +180.0].

• .. travel-duration=amet

  • Required. The maximum travel time in seconds. The maximum allowed value is 3600s (one hour). Format is 123s.

• .. company-display-names=ut

  • Optional. This filter specifies the company Company.display_name of the jobs to search against. The company name must match the value exactly. Alternatively, the value being searched for can be wrapped in different match operators. SUBSTRING_MATCH([value]) The company name must contain a case insensitive substring match of the value. Using this function may increase latency. Sample Value: SUBSTRING_MATCH(google) MULTI_WORD_TOKEN_MATCH([value]) The value will be treated as a multi word token and the company name must contain a case insensitive match of the value. Using this function may increase latency. Sample Value: MULTI_WORD_TOKEN_MATCH(google) If a value isn't specified, jobs within the search results are associated with any company. If multiple values are specified, jobs within the search results may be associated with any of the specified companies. At most 20 company display name filters are allowed.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
• company-names=at
  • Optional. This filter specifies the company entities to search against. If a value isn't specified, jobs are searched for against all companies. If multiple values are specified, jobs are searched against the companies specified.

You must escape backslash (\) and quote (\") characters. Supported functions are LOWER([field_name]) to perform a case insensitive match and EMPTY([field_name]) to filter on the existence of a key. Boolean expressions (AND/OR/NOT) are supported up to 3 levels of nesting (for example, "((A AND B AND C) OR NOT D) AND E"), a maximum of 100 comparisons or functions are allowed in the expression. The expression must be < 10000 bytes in length. Sample Query: (LOWER(driving_license)="class \"a\"" OR EMPTY(driving_license)) AND driving_years > 10

• query-language-code=clita

  • The language code of query. For example, "en-US". This field helps to better interpret the query. If a value isn't specified, the query language code is automatically detected, which may not be accurate. Language code should be in BCP-47 format, such as "en-US" or "sr-Latn". For more information, see Tags for Identifying Languages.

• .. job-view=stet

  • Optional. The desired job attributes returned for jobs in the search response. Defaults to JobView.SMALL if no value is specified.

Jobs whose annualized base compensation is unspecified are put at the end of search results. * "annualized_total_compensation": By job's CompensationInfo.annualized_total_compensation_range ascending. Jobs whose annualized base compensation is unspecified are put at the end of search results. * "annualized_total_compensation desc": By job's CompensationInfo.annualized_total_compensation_range descending. Jobs whose annualized base compensation is unspecified are put at the end of search results.
• page-size=98
  • Optional. A limit on the number of jobs returned in the search results. Increasing this value above the default value of 10 can increase search response time. The value can be between 1 and 100.

• user-id=sed

  • Required. A unique user identification string, as determined by the client. To have the strongest positive impact on search quality make sure the client-level is unique. Obfuscate this field for privacy concerns before providing it to the service. If this field is not available for some reason, send "UNKNOWN". Note that any improvements to the model for a particular tenant site, rely on this field being set correctly to a unique user_id. The maximum number of allowed characters is 255.

• .. require-precise-result-size=true

  • This field is deprecated.
• search-mode=clita
  • Optional. Mode of a search. Defaults to SearchMode.JOB_SEARCH.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

• The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
• The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
• You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
• You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

• -o out
  • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
