Show HN: Build a job leads database with Notion and Claude

2 points

a year ago

I have been using Claude for so much lately. And so when I needed to build a list of leads for my job search I tried to get Claude to do it.

With computer use and a list of job boards I could get some results but I didn't think Claude was going to find my next job. Then I found an api that aggregates job boards and lets you search for jobs. They publish an openapi spec and Claude made me an MCP server in no time. You can find the mcp server here: https://github.com/jhgaylor/hirebase-mcp

The workflow is simple.

1. Make a database in notion with some fields to store information about the job.

2.Prompt claude to find jobs I'd be interested in, claude gathers context with playwright, searches hirebase for jobs, and updates notion with the results.

3. Repeat Step 2 until you have enough leads.

My prompts usually look like this:

"Find jobs that would be a good fit for the candidate described by https://jakegaylor.com/?hn=1 and update the notion database job search 2025 with the results".

My claude config installs playwright, notion, and hirebase mcp servers and can be found here: https://gist.github.com/jhgaylor/39243d71e03b49c775bd31e913f...
