Job typically have:

country (e.g. Germany, Italy, U.S.A)  
state (e.g.Texas, California)  
industry (e.g.for example Information technology, Advertising and  
marketing, Trades and services)  
industry category (e.g.Programmer, Tester, Project Manager)  
job type (full time, contract, casual)  
salary range (numeric)  
THEN full text search within the fields of the job ad

Would ElasticSearch facets be well suited to implementing this sort of  
search functionality?

thanks

Sure !  
Faceted navigation is a very cool feature.

Just make sure the country, state and the like fields are not\_analyzed,  
then you can easily facet on them, or filter by them.
