AI-Powered LinkedIn Job Scraper with n8n
This automated system is designed to transform the job search from a manual, 3-hour daily chore into a 15-minute review of pre-screened opportunities.
What the System Does
| Feature | Description |

| AI Screening | Uses an AI model (via OpenRouter and GPT) to analyze each job description against your personalized profile and skills list. |
| Smart Filtering | Filters out irrelevant jobs, showing only the top 10 matches that align with your experience. |
| Email Alerts | Composes and sends a professional, HTML-formatted summary of the best matches to your inbox via Resend. |
