I scrap tens of job boards with Selenium, JavaScript and Python, and generate random links to the companies' job offers to contact them directly.


Can you explain the second part of your automation?


Basically generates links of Google queries to find each job in the company's own website. That helps me find the most recent, unpublished related and non-walled.

Job boards are filled with old posts they repost for the looks, and that makes about 20% or less of the actual job market. After contacting companies I've even got way more recent offers from their HR, that they might not publish, meaning what's published online could be 50% of the actual job market, with lots of timed offers.

So I ask the script to throw a few random and play the job lottery :D


Would love to see this written up
