How does this automation work?
In today's competitive job market, keeping track of potential opportunities is crucial. This Bardeen playbook allows you to effortlessly save job openings from a LinkedIn profile's current company directly into a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This is particularly useful for recruitment agencies, HR departments, and sales prospecting teams who aim to monitor job vacancies efficiently, without the hassle of manually updating spreadsheets.
Here is how you can automate the process of tracking job openings on LinkedIn:
- Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn profile - The Scraper is utilized to collect data from the active LinkedIn profile tab, identifying the current company of the profile being viewed.
- Step 2: Find company job openings - The Scraper operates in the background to search LinkedIn for all open positions at the identified company, utilizing the LinkedIn job search results template.
- Step 3: Extract job post URLs - Bardeen retrieves the URL of the first job listing from the search results, preparing it for the next steps.
- Step 4: Scrape job details - Details of each job opening are then scraped in the background from the provided URLs, using a LinkedIn job post template.
- Step 5: Save to Google Sheets - The collected job opening details are added to your specified Google Sheets spreadsheet, making it easy to access and share this valuable information.
How to run the playbook
Navigating the labyrinth of LinkedIn for up-to-date job postings and company information can be quite the task. Picture this: you're a proactive professional on the lookout for new career opportunities, but scanning through countless profiles and openings feels like a never-ending maze. What if there was a way to streamline this process without the usual flair and fuss?
This automation effortlessly determines the current company of any open LinkedIn profile and then scours the platform for available job positions within that very company. No need to dwell on the mundane – now you can swiftly gather all the data you need without repeatedly switching tabs or losing focus.
On the flip side, imagine you're an HR manager striving to stay in the know about the competition's hiring efforts. With this innovation, tracking rival companies' job listings becomes a breeze, freeing up your time to strategize rather than endlessly clicking around.
Simplicity meets practicality with this automation, making your professional life a tad less tangled and a whole lot more efficient.
