Sometimes, job posts you're trying to filter out using the Exclude field may not be caught due to slight variations in spelling. For instance:

In this example, the term "database administrator" is combined with another word using a slash, like "database administrator/developer". Our system treats this as a completely different term.

That's why it's important to check for any extra characters, like prefixes or suffixes, in the words you’re excluding.

To successfully exclude such variations, you should add each version of the term you're trying to exclude. For example:

"database administrator"

"database administrator/developer"

Alternatively, you can use an asterisk (*) to exclude all potential variations. For instance, excluding (admin*) would filter out all words starting with admin, such as administrator, and any words or characters that follow.

If you're unsure whether this applies to your case, feel free to send a link to the job post you're trying to exclude to Technical Support. They can assist you in filtering it out and explain the reason behind it.
