Show HN: LinkedIn Mate – Find job opportunities hidden in the feed(chromewebstore.google.com) My wife recently re-entered the job market and we noticed a frustrating trend: many of the roles are shared as regular status updates by recruiters rather than official listings in the Jobs tab. I don't know why this became a practice, but they are very easy to miss, unlike the job listings with alerts and all kinds of search. So I built this Chrome extension over a weekend to solve that problem. It tracks specific people or companies and captures those hidden opportunities from the feed. ## Technical / Privacy approach: - Privacy-First: No data leaves the browser. Everything is stored locally. - No Monetization: It’s free. I don’t believe in charging people who are currently out of work. No ads, no data selling. - Classification: It uses simple keyword matching or optional AI classification. - AI Implementation: If you want to use the AI features, you provide your own OpenAI API key. It's stored with local encryption and I’ve optimized the prompts so it usually costs less than $0.01 per day using gpt-3.5-turbo. I'm looking for feedback on any features that would make the job hunt more manageable, in this brutal market conditions. |
