Agent Sightings Real agent use cases

Search LinkedIn and submit tailored job applications

As described in the source, chrome runs with remote debugging on, and Claude Code connects to it through Selenium scripts it writes itself. A markdown skill prompt, a markdown resume and a cover-letter style template guide it. A search run yields 50-130 postings in minutes, and each application takes 60-90 seconds.

Why it matters

Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 52 by interest), and one of 164 involving Claude Code.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Help me search LinkedIn and submit tailored job applications. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.

Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
