The LinkedIn Job Search Export automation allows you to gather details on job listings based on specified search criteria, including job title, company, location, and posting date. This tool is ideal for recruiters, job seekers, and business development professionals who want to monitor opportunities or analyze job market trends. Follow this guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for easy tracking.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. In the Automation Store, use the search bar to find LinkedIn Job Search Export quickly.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to access LinkedIn job listings on your behalf, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure connection options:

Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for easy login without needing to manage cookies.
Add Account: Connects directly through TexAu’s built-in browser extension, making setup simple.

Tip: Magic Link is a quick, secure way to connect LinkedIn without manual cookie management.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the LinkedIn connection options, highlighting both Magic Link and Add Account choices.

Step 3: Set Up Your Job Search Criteria

With LinkedIn connected, specify your job search criteria in TexAu:

Job Title: Enter specific job titles to target, such as “Marketing Manager” or “Software Engineer.”
Location: Specify geographic areas for the search, such as “San Francisco” or “Remote.”
Company Name (Optional): Target specific companies by entering their names.
Date Posted: Select job postings based on age (e.g., last 24 hours, last week).

Using precise search terms ensures that you gather relevant job listings for your goals.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To monitor job listings at regular intervals, use TexAu’s scheduling feature. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency to update the search periodically:

At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every week)
Once
Every Day
On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Friday)
On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., March 1)

Scheduling is ideal if you want to continuously track new job postings.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the scheduling interface with options for selecting start time and recurrence frequency.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid triggering LinkedIn’s rate limits, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between each job listing extraction. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to introduce variability, simulating natural browsing. Adjust the delay in seconds, minutes, or hours, as needed.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Iteration Delay settings, showing Minimum Delay, Maximum Delay, and time units.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, select how you want to save and organize the job listing data. Export data to Google Sheets or CSV file for easy sharing and analysis.

Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file as your output format. Link your Google account if you select Google Sheets, enabling a direct export to Google Drive.
Output Management:
- Append (Default): Adds each job search result to the end of the existing file, creating a cumulative list of job listings.
- Split: Each run generates a new file, helpful for tracking data by session.
- Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest search results, ideal if you’re only interested in recent listings.
Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, ensuring organized, clean data.

Tip: Google Sheets export is ideal for collaborative job searches, allowing real-time updates on listings.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the output mode options screen with Google Sheets, CSV, and Deduplicate options highlighted.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose to run on Cloud or Desktop mode:

Cloud: Runs the automation on TexAu’s servers, ideal for hands-free operation.
Desktop: Run locally on your device if you prefer using your IP address, which can help simulate manual browsing.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and provides more control over task execution.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Run button with Cloud and Desktop options visible.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the exported job listing data. Locate the LinkedIn Job Search Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Data Store screen with the “See Data” button highlighted.

The LinkedIn Job Search Export automation simplifies tracking job listings based on specific criteria, making it a valuable tool for job seekers, recruiters, and market researchers. With scheduling, flexible input options, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool provides organized access to job data for ongoing analysis and opportunity tracking.
