Featured Apps
This automation acts as a personal job search assistant. Here's how it works:
- Searches LinkedIn: It begins by performing a targeted search on LinkedIn for job postings. You can specify the job roles, keywords, and location for the search.
- Checks for Duplicates: To ensure your list stays clean and relevant, the automation reads a Google Doc that you provide. It scans this document for job URLs it has already saved.
- Filters New Jobs: It compares the search results with the jobs already in your document and creates a list of only the brand-new postings.
- Saves to Google Docs: Finally, it appends each new job—including the title, company, location, and a direct URL—to your specified Google Doc, creating a running list of opportunities.
The entire process is logged, giving you a clear view of how many jobs were found, how many were new, and how many were successfully saved.
Usage Ideas

Customization Ideas
This template is a great starting point, and you have the flexibility to customize it to your exact needs. You can easily change:
- Search Criteria: Tell the assistant what job titles, keywords, and skills you're interested in (e.g., "remote project manager roles," "entry-level data analyst," "UX designer with Figma experience").
- Location: Change the job search location from a city to a country, or even specify remote-only positions.
- Job Source: While this template uses LinkedIn, you can ask the assistant to adapt it to search other job boards like Indeed or Glassdoor.
- Destination: Instead of saving jobs to a Google Doc, you can have them sent to a Google Sheet, a Slack channel, or another supported service. This is perfect for creating a spreadsheet tracker or notifying a team.
- Output Format: You can customize how the job information is formatted in the final document. For example, you can change the order of details, add a "Date Found" timestamp, or format it as a table.
