We had a lot of requests and messages from people who were saying we had a lot of categories - but none specific to their area of expertise, this was something we'd always intended to avoid as a lot of categories can create clutter or confusion and we wanted our proposition to be simple.
We had a brainwave and decided to jump onto the Web 2.0 revolution and include powerful tags on both jobs and users in order push your job to the top of the pile where it's most relevent.
For example, say a Guitar Teacher signed up at YoBudget, they would probably choose 'other' as their area of expertise - this could potentially cause them to miss potential students and business - now a guitar tutor can set a few tags they want to watch out for, in this case it would be particularly effective for them to use the following words as tags 'Guitar', 'Tutor', 'Guitar Lessons', and 'Musician' - if anyone posted a job with similar or matching tags we'd send a notification where appropriate.
Our search system also now searches tags.
