Job Search Automation

Job Search Automation

A framework for **semi-automated job hunting**. Claude regularly sweeps your list of sources (Telegram channels, company career pages, ATS APIs, email job alerts), filters what it finds against your profile, and drops candidates into a Notion database where you approve or reject each one with a single click.

It is **not "clone and run."** Job hunting is inherently custom: your sources, your filters, your Notion. This template gives you the structure, the methodology, and the gotchas already collected over months of real use. Setup takes 2–4 hours.

Keywords: automated job search, job hunting automation, Notion job tracker, AI job search agent, LinkedIn job alerts, career page monitoring, job board scraper alternative.

What you need

• Claude with connectors. Claude Code, Claude Cowork, or claude.ai with Gmail and Notion connected. Essential:
  • Gmail connector — reading job alerts;
  • Notion connector — writing candidates;
  • browser access for the model — WebFetch and/or Claude-in-Chrome, for career pages and Telegram.
  • This does not run on ChatGPT as-is — it has a different tool model (no managed Gmail/Notion connectors, no browser, no scheduling). You can borrow the filtering and email-parsing logic, but not the automated source sweep.
• A Notion account — the free plan is enough.
• A separate Gmail (recommended) — dedicated to job alerts, kept apart from personal mail. Every archiving rule in this template assumes that inbox contains nothing but newsletters.
• A source list — you build it (templates/sources.md).
• A filtering profile — what you want to do, what you exclude (templates/filter-criteria.md).
