claude-code-job-search

A Claude Code skill that finds remote software engineering jobs, filters them against your resume and salary requirements, and walks you through a triage workflow — all from your terminal.

It queries public job APIs (RemoteOK, Remotive, Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever), applies a coarse keyword filter, then hands the results to Claude to judge real fit against your profile. You get a ranked shortlist and go through it one-by-one: apply or reject.

Skills included

/job-search — Find and triage jobs

• Automated sourcing from 200+ company ATS feeds + RemoteOK + Remotive, parallelized
• Coarse pre-filter by seniority, role type, tech stack, and remote status
• Claude-powered fit scoring against your actual profile (not just keyword matching)
• Already-applied detection — skips companies you've already applied to (via tailored resume files on disk or a manual exclusion list)

/resume-cover — Tailored resume & cover letter

• Fetches the job posting and extracts requirements automatically
• Reads your master resume as the single source of truth
• Tailors the resume — rewrites summary, reorders bullets, mirrors the JD's language
• Writes a cover letter with bold lead-in paragraphs mapping your experience to their requirements
• Outputs .docx files with clean Calibri formatting, ready to submit
• Never fabricates experience — addresses gaps honestly

Installation

# Clone into your Claude Code skills directory
git clone https://github.com/Yodablues/claude-code-job-search ~/.claude/skills/job-search

Job search setup

Edit the CONFIG section at the top of find_jobs.py:

• SENIORITY, ROLE, TECH — coarse keyword filters for titles and descriptions
• GREENHOUSE, ASHBY, LEVER — company ATS tokens (200+ included, add more freely — unknown tokens are skipped)
• MANUAL_APPLIED — set of company name tokens to exclude (already applied)
• APPLIED_DIR — directory to scan for tailored resume/cover letter files (auto-exclusion)

Resume & cover letter setup

cd ~/.claude/skills/job-search/resume-cover
cp config.example.json config.json

Edit config.json with your details:

{
  "name": "Your Name",
  "location": "City, State",
  "email": "you@example.com",
  "phone": "555-555-5555",
  "linkedin": "linkedin.com/in/your-profile",
  "website": "yoursite.com",
  "github": "github.com/you",
  "source_resume": "/path/to/Your_Resume.docx",
  "output_dir": "/path/to/output/directory"
}

Usage

In Claude Code, just say:

find me jobs

Or any variation: "go find jobs", "any new roles", "search for jobs".

Claude will:

1. Run the gather script to pull fresh postings
2. Read the results and aggressively filter against your profile
3. Present a ranked shortlist
4. Walk through each match for you to apply or reject

When you say "apply" on a role:

/resume-cover <job-posting-url>

Claude will fetch the JD, tailor your resume and cover letter, and output .docx files.

Requirements

• Claude Code (CLI, desktop app, or IDE extension)
• Python 3.8+ (stdlib only for job search — no pip install needed)
• python-docx (for resume/cover letter generation: pip install python-docx)

Adding company ATS feeds

The script queries company career pages via their public ATS APIs. To add companies, put their board token/name in the appropriate list in find_jobs.py:

• Greenhouse: The URL slug from boards.greenhouse.io/{token} — e.g. "stripe", "discord"
• Ashby: The company name from their job board — e.g. "Linear", "Vercel"
• Lever: The URL slug from jobs.lever.co/{token} — e.g. "netflix"

Unknown or invalid tokens are silently skipped, so it's safe to add speculative entries. 200+ companies are included out of the box.
