- Brand-new AI search that understands user search intent, not just keywords, to deliver better job matches
- Adzuna’s new search puts it #1 in industry ranking of most relevant search results
- Designed to help employers get better quality candidate matches and improve the application rate per user by 20%
Adzuna is excited to announce the global launch of a groundbreaking AI search technology, delivering market-leading search result relevance and outperforming competitors by over 25% on average.
Adzuna’s Search Quality Index analysed 4,500 search results for 50 top job titles across nine leading UK job search platforms in October 2025, rigorously testing search results relevance and variety, to identify who is delivering the most relevant and comprehensive results to help jobseekers find the right role. Adzuna’s new search leads the industry overall, achieving the best balance between relevance and variety.
Drawing on over a decade of machine learning AI expertise to power its smarter AI job search and candidate-to-employer matching, Adzuna’s new proprietary AI search understands what jobseekers really mean when they search - even when the keywords don’t exactly match the job, or the queries are detailed and complex - and matches them with the most relevant job opportunities. For example, a search for “graduate accounting role in tech or media” will return relevant positions such as “Graduate Finance Assistant” and “Audit Assistant”.
For employers and hiring managers, the new search experience drives better quality candidate matches and greater jobseeker engagement, resulting in higher quality applications, faster time-to-hire, and lower recruitment costs.
Doug Monro, CEO and co-founder of Adzuna, comments, “I am pleased to share that our AI search is live, making Adzuna the job site that delivers the most relevant and diverse search results. Millions of users worldwide are now benefiting from faster, more relevant job searches - and better matched job alerts - every month, while employers and hiring managers see broader talent reach and higher-quality applications. This is a real game-changer and, alongside our other AI tools like ValueMyCV, Prepper and ApplyIQ, shows how Adzuna harnesses AI to empower both jobseekers and employers. We believe that AI, used responsibly, can and will create a positive and meaningful impact on the job market and people’s lives.”
Hung Lee, Curator at Recruiting Brainfood, comments, "With the cost of living crisis, anaemic economic growth and the rise of AI reshaping the employment landscape, looking for a job has never been more challenging. It's fantastic to see companies like Adzuna continue to innovate on behalf of the jobseeker. Improved search which recognises user intent rather than just matching on keywords will be a step change improvement in delivering relevant results for the jobseeker, and by doing so, deliver better qualified, more motivated candidates for the employer."
Adzuna’s smarter search is now live in major international markets, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.
