A week of filter fixes from triage

  • Each fix came from a job listing that reached triage and shouldn't have.
  • On-site said in words is read as on-site: "this role is not remote", "report to our office 5 days", "full time on-site in <city>", "hybrid or remote work will not be considered". A short list of employers that never post remote work is read as on-site unless a posting says remote.
  • Shift, plant and field work is dropped: rotating, night or 12-hour shifts, 24/7 on-call, forklift certification, work at heights.
  • Engineer titles that require coding are caught in more phrasings ("production-quality code", "strong proficiency in Python", "1+ years in Go or Python").
  • Gig work is dropped: paid research studies, per-task pay (no longer read as an hourly rate), AI-training and data-labeling gigs, and titles that require a language other than English.
  • "RPA" drone jobs are out. New UiPath and RPA searches also matched Remotely Piloted Aircraft.
  • Transformation, enablement and program titles that name no AI are dropped when the full listing never mentions AI or automation.
  • Full copies of one job merge when titles differ only in punctuation, and an employer name's leading label ("Hospital: …") is set aside when matching.
