Linkedin Job Filter

LinkedIn Job Filter Skill

Automatically filter LinkedIn job search results by viewing each job detail, using jd-filter for evaluation, and auto-dismissing jobs that don't meet criteria.

Use Cases

• User provides LinkedIn Jobs search results URL (e.g., https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/...)
• User says "help me filter LinkedIn jobs" or "filter LinkedIn jobs"
• User has already searched jobs on LinkedIn and wants to batch filter

Prerequisites

• agent-browser installed and in PATH
• User logged into LinkedIn (requires agent-browser state or manual login)
• jd-filter skill's user_filter.json configured

Limitations

• No pagination support - Only processes jobs visible on current page
• Requires user to be logged into LinkedIn (if not logged in, prompt user to login manually)

Workflow

Step 0: Load Filter Criteria

Read jd-filter's filter criteria:

.claude/skills/jd-filter/user_filter.json

If doesn't exist, prompt user to set filter first (using jd-filter skill).

Step 1: Open LinkedIn Page

agent-browser --session linkedin --headed open "<linkedin-jobs-url>"
agent-browser --session linkedin wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session linkedin wait 3000

Important: Must use --headed, user needs to see browser window.

Step 2: Check Login Status

agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i

Check snapshot output:

• If see "Sign in" / "Join now" buttons → Prompt user to login manually
• If see job listings → Continue to next step

If login required:

1. Prompt user to manually complete login in browser
2. Wait for user to confirm logged in
3. Re-navigate to job search URL
4. Snapshot again to confirm

Step 3: Get Job Listings

agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i

From snapshot, identify all job cards. LinkedIn search results typically contain:

• Job title link (clickable)
• Company name
• Location
• Posted time
• Dismiss button (X icon)

Record for each job:

• title_ref: Job title's @ref (for clicking to view details)
• dismiss_ref: X button's @ref (for dismissing unqualified jobs)
• title_text: Job title text
• company_text: Company name

Save all job info to in-memory list, ready to process one by one.

Step 4: Process Each Job

For each job in the list, execute the following workflow:

4a: Click Job to View Details

agent-browser --session linkedin click @title_ref
agent-browser --session linkedin wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session linkedin wait 2000

After clicking, LinkedIn right panel will display job details.

4b: Extract JD Text

agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i

From snapshot, find job description area. LinkedIn JD is usually in:

• Under jobs-description__content class
• Or under jobs-box__html-content class

After finding JD content's @ref:

agent-browser --session linkedin get text @jd_ref

Also extract:

• Job title
• Company name
• Location
• Job type (Full-time, Contract, etc.)
• Remote/Hybrid/On-site

4c: Call jd-filter for Evaluation

Pass extracted JD text to jd-filter for evaluation. jd-filter will return:

• PASS - Job meets user requirements
• REJECT - Job doesn't meet user requirements

4d: Handle Filter Results

If REJECT:

1. Find the dismiss (X) button for this job in current snapshot
2. Need to re-snapshot to get latest refs:

   agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i
   

3. Find dismiss button's @ref (usually a small X icon button in top-right corner of job card)
4. Click dismiss:

   agent-browser --session linkedin click @dismiss_ref
   agent-browser --session linkedin wait 1000
   

5. Output: REJECT - [Job Title] @ [Company] - [Rejection Reason]

If PASS:

1. Take no action, keep the job
2. Output: PASS - [Job Title] @ [Company] - [Match Reason]

4e: Prepare for Next Job

agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i

Re-get snapshot, because dismiss action may have changed page structure and refs. Find next unprocessed job, repeat 4a-4d.

Step 5: Output Summary Report

After all jobs processed, output summary:

## LinkedIn Job Filter Report

Total Processed: X jobs
- PASS: Y jobs
- REJECT: Z jobs

### PASS Jobs:
1. [Job Title] @ [Company] - [Location]
2. ...

### REJECT Jobs:
1. [Job Title] @ [Company] - [Rejection Reason]
2. ...

Step 6: Keep Browser Open

Don't close browser - Keep browser open after processing, user may need to continue operations.

LinkedIn Page Structure Reference

Job Listings Page

Typical LinkedIn search results page structure:

• Left side: Job card list (scrollable)
• Right side: Selected job's detailed information panel

Common Elements

Expand Full JD

LinkedIn shows only partial JD by default, need to click "Show more" / "See more" to expand:

# Find "Show more" button in JD panel
agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i
# If found "Show more" / "...more" / "See more" button
agent-browser --session linkedin click @show_more_ref
agent-browser --session linkedin wait 1000
agent-browser --session linkedin snapshot -i
# Now can get full JD
agent-browser --session linkedin get text @full_jd_ref

Key Principles

1. Must use --headed - User needs to see browser
2. Re-snapshot after each action - LinkedIn is SPA, DOM changes frequently
3. Moderate speed - Wait 1-2 seconds between jobs, avoid rate limiting
4. Don't stop on errors - If job extraction fails, log error and continue to next
5. Snapshot before action - Never use stale @ref
6. Expand JD - Click "Show more" to get full description before filtering
7. Re-locate after dismiss - After dismissing a job, list changes, need to re-snapshot
8. Don't close browser - Keep browser open after processing, user may continue

Processing Efficiency Optimization

Efficient Processing Strategy

• Obviously irrelevant jobs: For retail, part-time, healthcare etc. that are clearly unrelated, can dismiss based on title alone without reading full JD
• Prioritization: Only jobs that look promising from title need full JD reading, saves time

Behavior After Dismiss

• After dismissing a job, LinkedIn auto-shows new job to fill the gap
• Must track newly appeared jobs - Don't miss jobs that appear after dismiss
• When re-snapshotting, check list and process all unprocessed jobs

Error Handling
