This study was conducted to improve the quality of job vacancy search results on Job Portal A Career by applying the Okapi BM25 algorithm. This research method uses a Rapid Application Development (RAD) development approach, such as designing a client server architecture with Next.js as the frontend, ASP.NET Core as the backend and PostgreSQL as the main database. The BM25 algorithm is integrated directly into the database using the VectorChord BM25 extension to calculate the search relevance score with the user inputted query. In testing with the query “accelist the quality support career IT need”, the system displays 800 of 1,011 documents (79.13%) with a non-zero relevance score. Furthermore, evaluation through User Acceptance Testing (UAT) showed a user satisfaction rate of 91.2%, confirming that BM25 is capable of displaying the most relevant results at the top of the rankings and supporting the effectiveness of the search system. The results of this study can be concluded that the BM25 algorithm is a more effective and efficient search solution with high scalability potential for application to other web-based job search systems.]]>
