Do you struggle with manually processing data for your tasks/workflows in this automation era? If you nodded in agreement, you are missing out on the countless opportunities provided by automation, the new rockstar.
For instance, consider these facts about job boards:
There are 350M+ unique monthly visitors on Indeed. Exploring the job postings and finding your exact matches is like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, 92% of job seekers abandon their applications due to the frustrating job application process.
Now imagine a software tool that automates job searching, custom-building cover letters, and applying, with only a few clicks.
That’s what we built for one of our clients: A web application that employs web-scraping and AI tools to automate the entire process.
Read on to learn more about how our client achieved greater efficiency and productivity in their business operations with this AI-based application.
Challenges the Client Faced
Here’s how the story started:
The client went through an awful time manually scouring the Indeed job portal to find relevant job postings. After frenziedly going through thousands of job postings, the client shortlisted the job openings that matched the criteria. Following that, the client painfully noted the details of every vacancy in a spreadsheet.
Next, the client toiled with writing personalized cover letters for each job based on the job profile and company’s requirements, burning a hole in their precious time.
In between all this, the client went through the chaos of tracking the completed and pending job applications, making them pull their hair out.
It was too much for the client who then promptly contacted the OpenMalo expert team to find a digital solution to their predicament.
OpenMalo’s Efficient Solution
As soon as the client explained the requirements, the OpenMalo team brainstormed an efficient solution tailored to their needs.
Our expert team quickly created a blueprint for the application and allocated resources to complete the project on time.
This is how our developers leveraged technology to implement the proposed application and customize it to the user’s needs:
Apify Web Scraper
Our team used it to crawl Indeed’s web pages using a browser to extract data related to the job vacancies. This tool also supports URL lists and recursive crawling to gather data with maximum performance.
Clearbit APIs
The Discovery and Prospector APIs provided by Clearbit extracted the lists of specific people or companies. It helped find key contacts and identify companies with job openings that match the job search criteria.
ChatGPT API
After fetching the details from Indeed, we triggered the ChatGPT API with a prompt to automatically draft a personalized cover letter based on the employer information and job description.
PDF Library
We included a PDF creation library to convert the cover letter to a downloadable PDF file as per the selected template.
The Remarkable Outcome
The outcome was a web-based, intuitive dashboard with a neat list of job postings. Each job listing can be viewed with details such as the job title, job type, salary, company, job description, and date of posting. The job listings can even be filtered based on job positions and application status.
With this application, the client was able to automate the repetitive tasks of:
Crawling hundreds of Indeed’s web pages
Fetching and recording relevant job openings
Crafting personalized cover letters based on job description
We designed this AI-driven solution with a clear goal: to reduce job seekers’ stress and uncertainty in job hunting. No more endless scrolling through thousands of job listings. No more wasting time crafting individual cover letters. Only focusing on what matters most interviewing successfully and landing their dream job.
Most importantly, the client was able to scale their job agency’s operations to 40%.
The client expressed gratitude for the OpenMalo team with words of appreciation:
