Saved Searches
Saved searches turn a Job Search into a recurring alert: Nico checks for new postings matching your filters and sends you a daily email digest of fresh matches.
Creating a saved search
- Go to Jobs and set up the filters you want — title, location, work mode, companies
- Click Search to confirm the filters return what you expect
- Click Save search in the filter bar
- Give it a name (e.g.
Director EM in SF, Remote Rails roles in EU)
- Click Save search in the dialog
The new saved search is created enabled by default, and you’ll be redirected to the Saved Searches page.
Only filters you’ve actually submitted (those in the URL) are saved — not anything you’ve typed but haven’t pressed Search on yet.
Managing saved searches
The Saved Searches page (/saved-searches) lists every alert you’ve created with:
Preview
Click Preview on any saved search to see the postings currently matching its filters — useful for sanity-checking a search before you wait for the next digest cycle, or for seeing what’s in the pipeline right now.
Enable / Disable
Use the toggle in the Enabled column to pause a saved search. The criteria are preserved, so you can resume the digest later without re-entering filters.
Delete
Click Delete to remove a saved search permanently. You’ll stop receiving its digest immediately. Deletion is irreversible — re-create the search if you change your mind.
How digests work
- Each enabled saved search is checked daily
- You receive one email per saved search when new matches exist (no email if nothing new)
- The digest links each posting back to its detail page in Nico
- Matches are deduplicated against earlier digests, so you only see new postings
Tips
- Use specific titles for a tighter signal — broad titles like “Engineer” produce noisy digests
- Combine location + work mode to filter out hybrid roles you can’t take
- The Company filter is great for tracking a shortlist of employers you actively want to work at
