Multiple element job classification data objects include values for multiple elements related to a job. The multiple element job classification data object may be generated automatically from a job listing or search query. A database of multiple element job classification data objects may be created using scraping. Scraping job listing data from multiple job listing sites allows for the creation of a centralized database that includes all job listings from the multiple sites. Converting the job listings from a typical title-and-description format into multiple element job classification data objects permits more accurate searching of the data. The database of multiple element job classification data objects may be searched for relevant job listings by a user who provides a text string. The text string is converted into a multiple element job classification data object and used to find job listings that correspond to the user's search.
