The Job Scout Builder

Build your own automated daily job search with Claude or free ChatGPT

Wendling Nonprofit Consulting  wendlingconsulting.com

Finding new roles is the most draining part of a job search. You scroll, you scan, you lose an evening, and you surface two listings that half fit. This tool hands that work to an assistant.

Answer the questions. Download the file. Give it to Claude or paste it into a free ChatGPT chat, and get back a ranked shortlist instead of a wall of listings.

The scout stops at the shortlist. Every report ends with a payload block that The Apply Decision Worksheet loads directly, so you never retype a posting to decide whether it earns an application.

Guided setup

Build your daily job scout in about ten minutes.

One screen at a time. At the end you download a file and hand it to Claude, or paste it into a free ChatGPT chat. Either one runs your search and hands back a ranked shortlist.

7 screensMost of them ship with working defaults you can keep.

What comes out the other end

Sample from a real run
SCORE 88  Director of Operations
Example Community Services, Houston TX
Posted 6 days ago  |  95,000 to 115,000  |  Employer career page

Multi site scope matches your 28 site background.
Salary clears your floor. Geography clears.
Posted under 21 days at an organization that is hiring in three
other departments, so conversion reads high.
You have a saved draft. Picked up from your last visit on this device.

Your answers save to this browser as you go, so you can close the tab and come back.

Step 1 of 7
PART 1

Your target role profile

Titles and geography drive every search that runs.

Start from your resume or LinkedIn PDF

Optional. Fills in name, contact, location, titles, and proof points. Nothing is uploaded. The file is read inside your browser.

One per line. Include adjacent titles.

Name them. Without a list the scout invents a commute radius.

Target range, minimum acceptable, and the floor below which nothing is surfaced.

PART 2

Setup

Now pick the assistant that will run your scout, and tell it who you are.

Everything after this adapts to the assistant you picked. You can switch at any time.

PART 3

Your exclusions

Anything listed here never reaches your shortlist again.

One per line, with a short reason.

PART 4

Where to search

Paste every job site you want checked. Tap a chip to add one.

Add common ones

Organizations you would actually work for, by name. The scout opens three of these before it touches a board. Government and institutional pages belong here too, and they carry senior seats the boards never show.

PART 5

Your application tracker

This is what stops the same role coming back every week. Pick where yours lives.

PART 6

Scoring criteria

Everything that clears your gates gets scored from 1 to 100.

Numbers, scale, named programs, and outcomes beat adjectives.

PART 7

Report and resume

Defaults are ready to use. The stop rule forces the scout to admit when the boards have gone dry instead of handing you empty reports forever.

List them and the scout tells you which to use per match.

Optional. Keep the labels and the three dashes between rows.

DONE

Your file is ready.

Download it, then hand it to your assistant. The file carries its own setup steps.

This clears every answer and the saved draft on this browser.

Edit anything below. What you see here is exactly what downloads.

    Next station. Every report ends with a payload block that The Apply Decision Worksheet loads directly. The scout finds the roles. The worksheet decides which ones earn an application.
