# The Search Party

> A plain-English guide to AI job search engines. How each one finds and ranks jobs, who pays for placement, and which one to use for your search.

The Search Party is published by Dreamwork, which makes one of the tools covered here. We say so wherever we recommend it, and we name the cases where another tool is the better pick.
