How does this automation work?
In today's competitive job market, keeping track of new opportunities is crucial for talent acquisition teams and job seekers alike. Bardeen automates the process of monitoring job openings on LinkedIn and saving them into Airtable. This playbook scans LinkedIn company profiles for job listings and transfers this data into Airtable, allowing for organized access and management of potential job vacancies.
Here's how this workflow automates the tracking of LinkedIn job listings:
- Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn Listings - The Scraper extracts job listing data from a company’s LinkedIn profile provided by the user. This step runs in the background to ensure a smooth workflow.
- Step 2: Select First Job URL - After scraping, Bardeen selects the first job listing URL from the array of data gathered.
- Step 3: Scrape Job Details - The selected URL is used to scrape specific job details using a LinkedIn job search results template.
- Step 4: Scrape Individual Job Posts - For a deeper dive, individual job posts can be scraped to gather more detailed information about each opening.
- Step 5: Save to Airtable - The extracted job details are then saved to an Airtable base, allowing you to sort, filter, and organize the job listings for further action.
How to run the playbook

This automation is geared towards helping you effortlessly identify the existing company tied to any open LinkedIn profile.

Imagine the power this lends to HR professionals keen on staying ahead by closely monitoring their competition's hiring strategies. This tool turns the challenge of monitoring rival companies' job listings into an efficient endeavor, ultimately enhancing your talent acquisition strategies.
This automation transforms your professional journey, simplifying what could be an overwhelming process and empowering data-driven decisions.

Step 1: Create an Airtable
The first step is to create an Airtable with all the job information that you want to save.
Bardeen will extract job post information for the company and get information like position, description, details, date, links, company information and more. It will then save all this information to your database once your setup is complete.
Step 2: Install the extension and map the information to Airtable
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start.
You will be asked to specify your Airtable. Bardeen will also ask you to enter the LinkedIn company profile link and the maximum number of posts that you would like to extract. Skip the maximum number of posts field if you want to get all posts. After you choose the database and number of posts, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.
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!
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
