Automate job search & curation with JSearch API & Google Sheets

How it works

This workflow automates the job curation process by retrieving pending job search inputs from a spreadsheet, querying the JSearch API for relevant job listings, and writing the curated results back to another sheet. It is designed to streamline job discovery and reduce manual data entry.

Step-by-step

1. Trigger & Input

• The workflow starts on a defined schedule (e.g., once per day).

• It reads a row from the Job Scraper sheet where the status is marked as "Pending".

• The selected row includes fields like Position and Location, which are used to build the search query.

2. Job Search & Processing

• Sends a search request to the JSearch API using the Position and Location from the spreadsheet.

• Parses the API response and extracts individual job listings.

• Filters out empty, irrelevant, or invalid entries to ensure clean and relevant job data.

3. Output & Status Update

• Writes valid job listings to the Job Listing output sheet with fields such as job title, company name, location, and more.

• Updates the original row in the source sheet to mark it as Scraped, ensuring it will not be processed again in future runs.

Benefits

• Reduces manual effort in job research and listing.

• Ensures only valid, structured data is stored and used.

• Prevents duplicate processing with automatic status updates.

• Simple to expand by adding more job sources or filters.
