SECTION: General Application Features
1: Explore jobs while program is still running.
Our technology scans the internet for jobs and pulls back results in real-time. As the job results start to stream in, you can double click and start viewing them immediately while the search is still running! This is unlike any other job search on the internet and you maximize your job search time even further.
2: Live internet connection is necessary.
This is a PC based application integrated with the internet. In order to pull jobs in real-time, you need to have a live internet connection. Our technology uses the power of your PC along with your internet connection to turn your desktop into a job finding machine!
SECTION: Technical Issues
You can run as many job searches as you like and see the total jobs found in real-time. However, you have to be a valid WorkTree.com member to actually see the job results and apply for jobs. Your Login ID/Password to use this application is the same as your WorkTree.com login and password you setup when you registered.
You must be logged into this application to view the actual results. Please enter you Login and Password in the top left corner where it says "Member Login"
If you are logged into WorkTree.com on a seperate browser, please close that and login here from this application. We strongly suggest that you close all browsers on your PC, then open this application and login directly from the top left hand section.
If you forgot your password then Click here.
2: Getting the latest updates
There is a button near the top left side of the application and it will either read "Alert Get Updates" or "Check For Updates". If you press this button, it will instantly check our system online and if there are updates, it will download the latest updates. After the update has completed, you will just have to close and restart the application so that the latest updates are applied.
3: Speeding up the job search
We suggest a broadband connection for super fast searches. Dialup connectsion will work but results stream in a bit slower. But keep in mind you can start exploring jobs as they come in while the search is still running. Also, please try and have all other applications on your PC closed so that your system resources are used efficently which will help the speed.
4: Search progress bar hangs
This will happen from time to time. This is a real-time search engine and this program actually visits hundreds of sites at the same time as if you were going thru each one individually. Some sites are very fast and return results in seconds, some sites may have server issues and delay the response which may cause the program to hang. Its not your fault or the programs fault, its the fault of the (slow) jobsite that is being scanned. Please try and be patient or just re-try your search at a later time.

SECTION: Search Tips To Maximize Effectiveness
1: Always search for same jobs using different criteria
Every site has different search criteria and its CRITICAL that you run different searches using different search terms. For example, if you are looking for a job as a Financial Analyst, first try searching for Financial Analyst, then try Financial and Analyst then maybe just Financial, etc. You get the idea. You will be surprised at the varying results that appear. We can't standardize this because we scan hundreds of sites and can't standardize the search query to each site.
2: Search status values and what they mean.
Its important that you understand the difference between Exact Match and Close match that we created a seperate section for this. Click here to

3: Stopping a search in progress.
You can stop this program at anytime. If a search is "hanging" or taking too long or if you just made an error in the search criteria; simply hit the "STOP" button and in a few seconds the search will end. You can then go back and run the same search or another new search.
SECTION: Search Result Issues/Concerns
1: Every jobsite spidered is different
We try our best to give you the most accurate and precise reults. However, please remember that EVERY jobsite is programmed differently with different search capabilities. This program is designed to closely duplicate your search and extract relevant jobs but is not a perfect application. It will from time to time give weird results and when that happens please notify us at
support@worktree.com with an example and we will fix it as soon as posssible.
2: Real-time results pros/cons
The positive element is that that you don't get stale or old jobs. You get instant access to job results across the web which are fast and accurate. The negative item is that sites easily go down or change their search structure which may throw our program off course and give some weird results. If this happens, please notify us at
support@worktree.com with an example and we will fix it as soon as posssible.
3: Inform us immediately for resolution
If the program is giving you problems, all first try closing it and starting it back up again. If that doesn't work, you can always uninstall the program and then download a fresh copy from our site and try installing it again. If you still have some unexplained issues, please notify us at
