Monitor New Job Openings and Notify Slack
This automation streamlines the process of finding recent job postings on LinkedIn for a specific role and location. It automatically sends key details about each job to a designated Slack channel.
This automation performs the following actions:
- Accepts Inputs: It starts by taking your desired job title, a geographic location (optional), and the name of the Slack channel for notifications.
- Searches LinkedIn: It opens a new browser window, navigates to LinkedIn Jobs, and searches for roles that match your criteria and were posted within the last 24 hours.
- Extracts Job Data: For each job listing found on the page, it extracts the job title, company name, location, and a link to the company's LinkedIn profile.
- Finds Company Domain (Optional): If enabled, the automation uses a search engine to find the official website domain for each company.
- Sends Slack Notifications: It then formats the collected information for each job into a clear, concise message and sends it to your specified Slack channel, providing you with a real-time feed of new opportunities.
Usage Ideas
- Job Seekers: Get instant notifications for new roles that match your skills and desired location, giving you a competitive edge in your job hunt.
- Buying Signals for Sales Development: Monitor target accounts for new hires in key departments (e.g., "Sales Engineer," "Product Manager") as a "buying signal" to initiate outreach.
- Recruiters & HR: Keep a close watch on competitor hiring trends and identify potential candidates.
- Market Researchers: Track hiring velocity for specific roles across different industries or regions to analyze market trends.
Customization Ideas
This template is a great starting point for your own custom job monitoring. You can easily adapt it to:
- Search different job boards: Instead of LinkedIn, you can search on other sites like Indeed, Glassdoor, or any industry-specific job portal.
- Adjust search filters: You can change the search criteria, such as targeting jobs posted in the last week instead of the last 24 hours, or refining the location search.
- Change the notification destination: Instead of sending alerts to Slack, you could have them sent to your email, a Discord server, or logged in a spreadsheet for later review.
- Customize the message: You can change the format and content of the notification message to include the information that's most important to you.
- Extract different information: You can modify the automation to pull additional details from the job postings, such as salary ranges or specific qualifications.
