How it works
Five taps from a keyword to the employer’s form
Job Alert is a search tool for job listings on Android. There is no account, no sign-up and no email confirmation — you open it and search. Here is the whole flow, start to finish.
The five steps
-
Step 1
Pick your country
Choose from 62 countries. Your choice decides which listings you see, and you can switch it any time from Settings.
-
Step 2
Search by keyword
Type a job title, a skill, or an employer name. Results come back as a list of job listings for the country you picked. Your recent searches are kept on the device so you can run one again with a tap.
-
Step 3
Read the listing
Each listing shows the role, the employer, the location, a remote flag when the role is remote, and a “posted recently” label drawn from the date attached to the listing. Open it for the full description.
-
Step 4
Save it for later
Bookmark anything you want to come back to. Saved jobs are stored on your own device, and the free tier holds 5 of them at a time.
-
Step 5
Tap through to the employer’s own posting
Tapping apply opens the original posting in your browser — the employer’s own careers page or the job board it was published on. You apply there, on their form, under their terms.
What the free tier includes
The app is free to download and free to use within these limits. They apply to every non-premium user, and they are the honest numbers rather than a rounded-up version.
3 searches a day
You get 3 keyword searches per day on the free tier. The counter resets the next day. Browsing the home feed and re-opening listings you already found do not spend a search.
5 saved jobs
The free tier keeps 5 bookmarks at once. Remove one to make room for another, or upgrade to raise the cap.
Remote filter is premium
Narrowing results to remote-only roles is a premium feature. Without it you still see remote roles in your results — they carry a remote flag — you just cannot filter the list down to them.
What it does not do
That last point surprises people who come to the app because of its name, so it is worth stating plainly rather than leaving you to discover it. The trade is a deliberate one: the app holds one permission, keeps no account, and does nothing while you are not using it.
