Automatically scrape LinkedIn job listings into a spreadsheet

A browser automation searches LinkedIn for jobs, saves the listings to a spreadsheet, and notifies you when it's done.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per each job listing found.

The problem it solves

You're searching for a job or tracking hiring trends, and manually checking LinkedIn every day for new postings is tedious and easy to forget. Copying listings into a spreadsheet by hand takes even more time.

Who it fits

Job seekers or recruiters who want a running list of LinkedIn postings without checking the site manually.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, a browser automation searches LinkedIn for job listings matching your criteria
  2. Job details are pulled from each listing
  3. New listings are saved into a Google Sheet
  4. A completion notice is sent by Slack and email once the search is finished
What you get

Job listings you never have to search for

You get a running spreadsheet of matching LinkedIn job listings without checking the site yourself.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet of job listings, plus a completion notice by Slack and email.

What you need

A LinkedIn account, a Google Sheets account, a Slack workspace, and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
