How to run the playbook

In the realm of LinkedIn, tracking down job openings while also staying informed about various companies can be quite the task.

What if there existed a way to simplify this process without the usual complexities?

This automation smoothly identifies the current company of any open LinkedIn profile and then combs through the platform to unearth available job positions within that same company. No need for constant tab-switching or scattered focus – you can gather all the data you need without the fuss.
