What This Skill Does

The indeed-brightdata skill is a sophisticated automation interface for interacting with Indeed job listings, company profiles, and recruiting data. By leveraging Bright Data's robust Web Scraper API, this skill bypasses common anti-bot hurdles associated with standard web scraping, allowing for reliable and structured data collection. It serves as a specialized research assistant that integrates seamlessly into messaging workflows, enabling users to perform complex job market analysis, company benchmarking, and lead generation without leaving their communication platform.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/foreztgump/indeed-brightdata Ensure your environment variables are configured correctly by setting BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY. The skill requires curl and jq installed on the host system to process the JSON output effectively.

Use Cases

• Recruitment Research: Identify active job openings, salary ranges, and company culture metrics across different industries and geographies.
• Market Analysis: Discover companies within specific sectors or regions to build target lists for business development or job searching.
• Data Aggregation: Extract structured job listing details from provided URLs to store or process within your local database or CRM.
• Automated Monitoring: Utilize the asynchronous polling system to track job postings over time, allowing the agent to update you on new listings as they appear.

Example Prompts

1. "Find me cybersecurity positions in New York, NY with a focus on cloud security, and give me a summary of the top 5."
2. "Research the company profile for CloudScale Dynamics using their Indeed page: https://www.indeed.com/cmp/cloudscale-dynamics."
3. "Show me a list of logistics companies hiring in Texas, then create a CSV export of the top 10 leads."

Tips & Limitations

• Performance: Always prefer direct URL-based inputs when available; these sync operations provide near-instant results compared to the minutes-long wait times for async keyword searches.
• Smart Defaults: If your broad search returns fewer than 5 results, the skill will automatically expand the date range of the query without human intervention. Avoid manual overrides unless necessary.
• Async Management: Remember that many search operations are asynchronous. Use indeed_check_pending.sh if the agent indicates that a search process is still in progress.
• Data Integrity: Always pipe your output through indeed_format_results.sh to ensure the raw JSON data is converted into a human-readable format appropriate for your messaging interface.
