Job-search technology often begins with software and engineering roles because technology companies publish structured careers data. That creates an unintended bias: the discovery experience looks broad while many non-technical professionals see fewer useful opportunities.
Claim My Job expanded its company-board registry to reduce that bias and support job discovery across ten additional industry groups.
Industries added to the registry
The expanded registry includes verified company career boards across:
- Food and hospitality
- E-commerce and retail
- Education and EdTech
- Media and entertainment
- Health and wellness
- HR and people operations
- Marketing and sales
- Telecom and communications
- Logistics and supply chain
- Finance and real estate
Technology employers remain part of the system, but they no longer define its entire scope.
Why industry expansion is harder than adding keywords
A multi-industry search cannot rely on simply inserting “marketing” or “operations” into a technology-focused list. It needs employers from different sectors, verified application links, and useful department information.
Role language also changes by industry. A customer-facing role in hospitality differs from customer success in SaaS. Supply-chain operations, media production, clinical administration, and retail management require different filters and context.
Department data improves discovery
Claim My Job’s scanner extracts department or team data from supported career-board providers. This helps distinguish roles that share similar titles but belong to different functions.
Department badges also make it easier to scan a broad job board without assuming every opening is technical.
What this means for job seekers
The expansion can help users:
- Discover companies outside familiar technology lists
- Search by function as well as industry
- Find non-engineering roles at technology companies
- Find technology roles inside non-technology companies
- Build a more varied target-company list
This matters because career opportunities increasingly cross industry boundaries. A data analyst might work in healthcare, retail, logistics, media, or finance—not only software.
Quality over an inflated company count
Claim My Job verifies board slugs and source availability rather than adding untested names solely to increase a headline number. Even verified sources can change, so ongoing maintenance remains necessary.

Building a broader job-search system
Industry expansion is most useful when it connects to preferences, Dream Companies, resume tailoring, and application tracking. The goal is not to show every possible job; it is to make relevant jobs across more sectors discoverable.
