AI job search agent with Claude for Chrome
Agent opens job boards in your signed-in browser, reads listings, scores fit, and builds a comparison table.
Setup steps
- Write criteria doc
- Log into boards
- Run agent
- Review scores
Steps summarized from the original Blog source ↗. Use “Copy” to grab them with the tools and source link, or copy an AI prompt.
How it went
The author says Claude first summarizes its plan and waits for approval, then opens each job board in your signed-in browser, reads about 8–10 listings per board and returns a table with a match %, the main reason and a link.
Worth knowing
Logins can time out mid-run, so you log back in by hand and let it continue. The author says scoring is only as good as your profile and deal-breaker list. No numbers on jobs found or interviews.
