I like the clean and simple design. A couple of things: 1. I think some categories should be lumped into one, and be allowed as filters. Eg., I see Node.js, Perl, PHP programming etc, but I think adding a category for each language will make it too noisy. I'd lump all these into 'backend developer' and allow the user to filter by the specific language. 2. Users should have a way to suggest categories/filters. I do mainly Python and Javascript, and didn't see either on the list. So I searched for web developer, full-stack, backend, frontend, and didn't find any of those either. It'd be nice if users could suggest these.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. On point 1, there is currently a category for "programming" which includes all languages (https://www.employiq.com/jobs/all/programming https://www.employiq.com/jobs/all/programming) and on point 2 there is a "Python" category and for front-end JS there is a "UI/UX" category. So I think the bigger issue is how to better display the list of categories. This will be a trade off of specificity vs. simplicity. Ultimately the solution is to allow you to type a search term and then automatically translate that into the appropriate category. Several commentors have complained about not being able to free enter a search term - the reason this isn't there is I simply haven't built the search-term-to-category engine yet.
