Separate descriptive search from explicit posting fields
Begin with representative opportunities and the fields visitors use to understand them. A free-form request and a selected location or role category serve different purposes. Agree which structured filters constrain the result set and which text helps retrieve potentially relevant records. Show the request that produced the visible results, and keep the employer-approved requirements on the posting itself. Evaluate retrieval with approved examples rather than treating semantic similarity as a decision about an applicant.
