How to run the workflow

In the realm of LinkedIn, tracking down job openings while also staying informed about various companies can be quite the task. You're immersed in the quest for new career opportunities, but the sheer volume of profiles and openings can make it all feel like a labyrinth. 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.

For HR managers aiming to stay informed about their competitors' hiring endeavors, tracking rival companies' job listings becomes a straightforward endeavor, allowing them to strategize effectively rather than getting bogged down in the details.

This automation is all about simplifying your professional life, making the complex seem almost effortless while you focus on what truly matters.

Step 1: Create an Airtable

The first step is to create an Airtable with all the job information that you want to save.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!
