Job Hunter

AI-powered LinkedIn job search assistant that scrapes real-time listings, filters by technology and location, and scores each match — delivered through chat.

Setup

Before first use, the user needs a Google Gemini API key for AI scoring. Ask for it and save it:

python3 scripts/job_hunter.py setkey "USER_GEMINI_KEY_HERE"

If the user doesn't have one, searches still work but without AI scoring (all jobs get a neutral 0.5 score). Free keys available at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey

Core Workflow

1. Conversational Search

When the user asks to search for jobs, gather these parameters conversationally:

• keywords (required): job title or search terms (e.g., "Python developer", "data engineer")
• technologies (optional): required tech stack (e.g., ["Python", "AWS", "Docker"])
• countries (optional): countries to search in (e.g., ["Spain", "Germany"])
• remote (optional): true/false for remote-only jobs
• experience (optional): "entry", "mid", "senior", "director", "executive"
• exclude (optional): terms to exclude (e.g., ["consultant", "staffing"])
• company_size (optional): LinkedIn size codes "1"-"8" (1=1-10, 4=201-500, 7=5001-10000)
• salary_min (optional): minimum salary in EUR
• ai_prompt (optional): extra criteria for AI scoring (e.g., "Must use microservices")
• max_pages (optional): pages to scrape per location (default 3, max 5)
• min_score (optional): minimum AI score to show (default 0.6)

Don't ask for ALL parameters — just ask the essentials (keywords, technologies, countries) and use sensible defaults for the rest. Let the user add filters if they want.

2. Run the Search

python3 scripts/job_hunter.py search '{
  "keywords": "Python developer",
  "technologies": ["Python", "FastAPI", "AWS"],
  "countries": ["Spain", "Germany"],
  "remote": true,
  "experience": "mid",
  "exclude": ["consultant"],
  "min_score": 0.6,
  "max_pages": 3
}'

The script returns JSON with scored jobs. Present the results in a clean format:

> 1. Senior Python Engineer — TechCorp

> Madrid, Spain | Remote | €50k-60k

> Score: 0.92 — "Excelente match: remoto, Python/FastAPI"

> https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/12345

Show the top results (score >= min_score) sorted by score. If there are many results, show the top 10 and mention how many more are available.

Important: Searches take time (30-90 seconds) due to LinkedIn scraping. Tell the user to wait.

3. Save Interesting Jobs

Users can save jobs they like for later review:

# Save a job
python3 scripts/job_hunter.py save '{
  "title": "Senior Python Engineer",
  "company": "TechCorp",
  "location": "Madrid",
  "url": "https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/12345",
  "score": 0.92,
  "notes": "Great match, applied on 2026-03-19"
}'

# List saved jobs
python3 scripts/job_hunter.py saved

# Remove a saved job
python3 scripts/job_hunter.py unsave "https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/12345"

4. Search History

# Show recent searches
python3 scripts/job_hunter.py history

# Re-run a previous search
python3 scripts/job_hunter.py rerun 1

Handling Different Languages

Detect the user's language and:

• Respond in their language
• AI summaries are always in the user's language (pass it in ai_prompt, e.g., "Respond in Spanish")
• Job data stays in the original LinkedIn language

Tips

• Per-country searches give much better results than global "Remote" searches on LinkedIn
• If no results, suggest broadening: fewer technologies, more countries, lower experience level
• LinkedIn may rate-limit after many searches — suggest waiting 5-10 minutes if errors occur
• Encourage users to save interesting jobs before they disappear from LinkedIn

Storage

All data stored as JSON in ~/.openclaw/job-hunter/:

• config.json — Gemini API key and settings
• history.json — search history
• saved.json — saved jobs
