How does this automation work?
Bardeen automates the process of transferring job listings from LinkedIn to Airtable, making it easier for recruiters and HR professionals to keep track of potential job postings. With this Playbook, you can deeply scrape job listings from LinkedIn's job search page and seamlessly add them to Airtable, which acts as an intuitive database for managing and organizing your recruitment efforts.
Here's how this workflow simplifies copying LinkedIn job posts to Airtable:
- Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn job posts - Using the Scraper, this step extracts data from the active tab on LinkedIn's job search page. You can specify the maximum number of job posts to scrape with the 'maxItems' argument.
- Step 2: Deep scrape individual job listings - The Scraper continues to work in the background, collecting detailed information from each job post link previously extracted.
- Step 3: Add to Airtable - Finally, the extracted job post details are added to an Airtable base, which can be customized to fit your recruitment workflow.

Step 1: Create an Airtable
The first step is to set up an Airtable with all the information you want to store from job posts.
Bardeen will extract information from the job post links like position, description, type, company information and links, hiring person information and more.
Step 2: Install the extension and integrate Airtable and LinkedIn data scraper
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.
Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks. If it’s your first time using Bardeen, you will be redirected to install the extension.
Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start.
You will be asked to specify your Airtable and the maximum number of items you wish to extract. After you choose the database and maximum number of items, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.
The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
