Copy a Google Jobs listing to Airtable
This is a Bardeen playbook. It's a pre-built automation template you can run in one-click to perform a repetitive task. Get started with our free Chrome extension.
How does this automation work?
Bardeen's workflow automation tool offers a seamless way to capture job postings directly from Google Jobs and store them into an Airtable database. This can be particularly useful for recruiters and HR professionals looking to streamline their sourcing process, or for businesses tracking potential job market competitors. With this playbook, you can effortlessly save job listings for later review, analysis, or sharing with your team.
Here's how this workflow captures Google Jobs listings and saves them to Airtable:
- Step 1: Scrape Google Jobs listing - The Scraper is used to extract data from the Google Jobs listing currently open in your active browser tab. It captures all relevant details using the Google Jobs single job template.
- Step 2: Merge job type - Bardeen merges the job type information from the scraped data to form a single text string, ensuring that all important details are kept intact.
- Step 3: Merge job description - Similarly, Bardeen combines the job description elements from the scraped data to create a comprehensive text field.
- Step 4: Add to Airtable - The final step involves adding the merged job listing data to your chosen Airtable base. Airtable acts as a powerful database that structures the job data for easy access and collaboration.
How to run the playbook
Staying organized in your job search is the gateway to landing your dream job. And this automation will help you save your favorite jobs into one central place, where you can track your application process.
It will save any listing from Google Jobs to an Airtable base. Gone are the days of copying and pasting every little piece of information manually. It’s time to skip all that and focus on what truly matters: finding the right jobs.
Doing this will free you up to search relevant job posts quickly and decide which ones you want to apply to later.
Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Set up a job tracker in Airtable
The first step is to set up an Airtable base for your jobs with the columns you want to save. You can create one from scratch or duplicate our template that we’ve optimized for this use case.
Step 2: Pin the automation and set up the Google Jobs scraper
Click on the “Pin it” button on this page. You will be redirected to download Bardeen and asked to integrate Airtable.
Step 3: Run the automation to save a Google Jobs listing to Airtable
You are all set. Now go to a Google Jobs listing and find an interesting listing.
Launch Bardeen (or hit OPTİON + B) and run this playbook. The first time you run it, you will be asked to specify the Airtable base - pick the one from Step #1.
You will also have a prompt to map the fields that Bardeen scraped to your Airtable base. Bardeen will try to match the columns automatically, but please double-check them to make sure that they are correct.
Here is what it looks like:
The fields on the left contain data from the job post. The fields on the right are columns that you created in your Airtable base. Map the information on the left to your columns. If you want to skip information, leave that field blank. That’s it!
Click on “Remember inputs” and checkmark Airtable. You can edit inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
Now, all you have to do is open Bardeen and run this playbook for every job post you see that catches your eye!
