⚡ 35 views · 📊 Market Research & Insights

💡 Pro Tip — Job boards are notoriously hard to scrape — CAPTCHAs, rate limits, constantly changing layouts. ScraperNode has maintained scrapers for Indeed jobs, Glassdoor reviews, and Glassdoor jobs that handle all of that for you.

Description

This n8n workflow automates job discovery by scanning company career pages, extracting open positions using AI, filtering them by department, and sending real-time alerts via Slack and email. It is ideal for monitoring targeted job roles (such as Engineering) across multiple companies without manual checking.

Use Cases Targeted Job Monitoring: Automatically track new job postings for a specific department or role. Faster Job Alerts: Receive instant Slack and email notifications when relevant positions are found. Multi-Company Career Tracking: Monitor multiple company career pages from a single Airtable base. Reduced Noise: Filter out irrelevant roles and avoid empty or misleading notifications.

Good to Know

• The workflow runs on a schedule and processes career pages stored in Airtable.
• Jobs are processed in batches with a delay node to avoid rate limits or scraping issues.
• Google Gemini is used for intelligent job extraction and filtering, which may incur API costs.
• If no relevant jobs are found, the workflow safely returns “No matching positions found” to prevent false alerts.
• Some Gemini models may be geo-restricted depending on your region.

How it Works

• Step 1: Job Source & Scheduling A Schedule Trigger starts the workflow and defines the job category to monitor (e.g., Engineering). Airtable is queried to fetch all company career page URLs.
• Step 2: Scraping & Extraction Each career page is scraped using Decodo. Google Gemini analyzes the raw page content and extracts job titles with application URLs while ignoring navigation and non-job content.
• Step 3: Data Cleaning & Structuring A JavaScript code node cleans the AI output, removes noise (e.g., “No open positions”), and converts results into structured job items.
• Step 4: AI-Based Filtering A second AI Agent compares extracted jobs against the target department and keeps only relevant roles.
• Step 5: Notifications Matching jobs are sent instantly to Slack and email.

How to Use

1. Airtable Credentials: Connect Airtable and store career page URLs in the table.
2. Google Gemini Credentials: Add your Gemini API key for AI extraction and filtering.
3. Slack Credentials: Select a user or channel to receive job alerts.
4. Gmail Credentials: Configure Gmail to receive job notification emails.
5. Schedule Setup: Adjust the trigger interval based on how often you want job checks.
6. Activate Workflow: Enable the workflow to start automated job monitoring.
