Can I automate LinkedIn job alerts?

Yes. Run a job search on a schedule and send new matches to a sheet or a Slack or email alert, so fresh roles come to you.

How do I only see new roles and not reposts?

The workflow deduplicates against roles you have already seen and keeps only fresh posts, so repeats do not clutter your list.

Can I filter by location and how recent a post is?

Yes. Set your keywords, location, and how recent the posts should be.

Does this work for freelance gigs?

Yes, if you need this. Use contract and freelance keywords and the same flow surfaces gig-friendly roles.

What data do I get for each job?

Periodix Job Search returns the job title, company, location, post URL, and date for every match, so you can filter, deduplicate, and apply without opening LinkedIn.

How to Automate Your LinkedIn Job Search with n8n or MCP

// WHEN TO USE

Problem

Job hunting on LinkedIn is a timing game played by hand.

You open the same searches every day, scroll past reposts and roles you already saw, and still miss fresh posts because you were not online when they went up.

The good roles collect applicants fast, so being early matters, and manual checking cannot keep up with that.

// WHAT YOU GET

Outcome

A pipeline that runs on a schedule, pulls fresh job posts for the roles, keywords, and locations you care about, filters out what does not fit, removes duplicates you already saw, and drops the new ones into a clean sheet or sends you an alert.

You see new relevant roles first, without scrolling, so you can apply while the post is still fresh.

Turn hiring signals into outbound leads
When a company posts a job for a role you sell around, it is telling you it has a new priority, a fresh budget, and a pain. That is one of the strongest buying signals in B2B. The trouble is that job posts are scattered across LinkedIn, most are from recruiting agencies and staffing firms you do not want, and the person who posted is a recruiter, not the decision-maker you need to reach. Working this by hand does not scale, and by the time you get to a post it is often stale.
