Example Queries

• "Search for remote software engineering jobs paying over $150k"
• "Show me all Data Science jobs"
• "List companies hiring in finance"
• "Get job details for job ID 495367555-sr-software-engineer-ref-6070"
• "What jobs does Meta Platforms have open?"

Known Issues

• location field is sometimes empty — the site uses inconsistent span structure across listings, so the location parser misses some cards
• apply_url is jobs.now's application-log form, not the employer's ATS — actual application instructions (email, employer site, mail) are in the job description
• jobs_now_get_job requires the full URL slug (e.g. 490433823-software-engineer-agentic-ai-ref-9902208); bare numeric IDs return 404
• Duplicate listings exist on the site (same role/REF posted under multiple job IDs at different times); deduplication is ID-based only

Notes

• No API key required — scrapes public job board
• jobs.now specializes in H1B PERM roles: exclusive hidden market jobs
• Follow application instructions precisely (companies must follow strict PERM process)
