Key Takeaways
• Vend launches AI-powered Smart Search to revolutionize job hunting on Finn.no
• Users can now describe their dream jobs in plain language—no more keyword guessing
• An integrated AI assistant helps tailor applications while keeping a personal touch
• Strategic move follows Vend’s market exit from Sweden and Finland to focus on innovation
Is this the end of keyword-based job searches?
Vend’s Smart Search feature lets users skip filters and jargon. Just describe the job you want, like: “I’m looking for a remote marketing role that focuses on sustainability,” and the AI delivers personalized results.
• No more clunky job filters
• Searches powered by natural language understanding
• Human-centric interface that adapts to how people speak
Not just search—AI helps you apply smarter, too
This isn’t a chatbot gimmick. Vend’s AI also assists with the next big hurdle: applications. It provides writing support without compromising your voice.
A bold pivot with a narrow focus
Vend recently exited the Swedish and Finnish recruitment markets. Why? To laser-focus on delivering next-gen search through Finn.no, its most promising platform.
So what and what’s next?
If Smart Search succeeds in making job hunting intuitive, expect this to catch fire across other platforms. AI-driven, context-rich, and language-first experiences could soon be the standard.
Vend isn’t just tweaking the job board experience—it’s redefining how humans interact with hiring platforms. And that might be the smartest move in recruitment this year.
