Is there no way to add custom searches? As a test, I wanted to look for flight test engineers in aerospace companies, but the only way I could see to approximate it was to look at job postings. I was able to drill down by picking a company (Boeing) until I found one, but that's really tedious compared to just adding a custom job function ("flight test engineer") or selecting "Test Engineer" and adding a custom industry ("Aerospace").

Thanks for the feedback!

The job functions we currently classify have been mostly focused by our early users/customers (companies building products/tools/infrastructure for data and software engineering teams), and handling the multilingual aspects of those across countries well.

We're aiming to extend this in two ways:

1. Adding job title and job description full-text search, to handle the long tail of usecases (in-flight project)

2. Extend the job function classification to the full universe of jobs that people can have

Job title and job description full text search would really be perfect. At least in my mind, good GTMs are narrow (software engineers in flight test) vs. broad, like selling to all software engineers using python in the manufacturing industry.
