What it does

Linkedin Job Scraper is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Scrapes LinkedIn job postings using the JobSpy library (python-jobspy). Use this skill whenever the user wants to find jobs on LinkedIn, search for open roles, pull job listings, build a job pipeline, source job targets for GTM research, or monitor hiring signals. Even if the user just says "find me some jobs" or "what roles is [company] hiring for", use this skill. It runs a local Python script that outputs a CSV of job postings with title, company, location, salary, job type, description, and direct URLs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/jobspy_scraper.py` and `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Go-to-market strategy. It works with LinkedIn and Python. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to find jobs on LinkedIn
  • Search for open roles
  • Pull job listings
  • Build a job pipeline

Example prompts

  • “find me some jobs”
  • “what roles is [company] hiring for”
  • “Use the linkedin-job-scraper skill to scrape LinkedIn job postings using the JobSpy library (python-jobspy)”
  • “/linkedin-job-scraper”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the request
  2. Construct the command
  3. Run the script
  4. Interpret and present results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linkedin Job Scraper loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 471 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

LinkedIn Scraper

Overview

This skill finds LinkedIn job postings by running tools/jobspy_scraper.py, a thin wrapper around the JobSpy library. It handles installation, parameter construction, execution, and result interpretation.

Quick Start

Install the dependency once (requires Python 3.10+):

bash
python3.12 -m pip install -U python-jobspy --break-system-packages

Run the scraper:

bash
python3.12 tools/jobspy_scraper.py \
  --search "software engineer" \
  --location "San Francisco, CA" \
  --results 25 \
  --output .tmp/jobs.csv

Results are saved as CSV and printed as a summary table.


Workflow

Step 1 — Understand the request

Identify from the user's message:

  • Search term — job title, role, or keyword (required)
  • Location — city, state, or "Remote" (optional but recommended)
  • Results wanted — default to 25 if not specified
  • Recency — hours_old filter if user wants recent posts (e.g. "last 48 hours")
  • Company filter — linkedin_company_ids if targeting a specific company
  • Full descriptions — set --fetch-descriptions if user needs job description text

If anything is ambiguous (e.g. "find AI jobs"), pick reasonable defaults and tell the user what you used.

Step 2 — Construct the command

Build the tools/jobspy_scraper.py command using the parameters below. Always save output to .tmp/ so it's disposable and easy to find.

bash
python tools/jobspy_scraper.py \
  --search "<term>" \
  --location "<location>" \
  --results <N> \
  [--hours-old <N>] \
  [--fetch-descriptions] \
  [--company-ids <id1,id2>] \
  [--job-type fulltime|parttime|contract|internship] \
  [--remote] \
  --output .tmp/<descriptive_filename>.csv

Note: --hours-old and --easy-apply cannot be used together (LinkedIn API constraint).

Step 3 — Run the script

Execute the command. The script will print a progress message and a summary of results found.

If the script is not found at tools/jobspy_scraper.py, check whether the file needs to be created by reading skills/linkedin-job-scraper/scripts/jobspy_scraper.py and copying it to tools/.

Step 4 — Interpret and present results

After the run:

  • Report how many jobs were found
  • Show a brief table: Title | Company | Location | Salary | Posted
  • Note the output file path so the user can open it
  • If 0 results: suggest broadening the search term or removing the location filter

MAX_AMOUNTMaximum salary
CURRENCYCurrency code

DESCRIPTIONFull job description (if --fetch-descriptions used)
JOB_LEVELSeniority level (LinkedIn-specific)
COMPANY_INDUSTRYIndustry classification

Common Use Cases

Find recent engineering roles at a startup:

bash
python tools/jobspy_scraper.py --search "growth engineer" --location "New York" \
  --results 50 --hours-old 72 --output .tmp/growth_eng_nyc.csv

Monitor what a specific company is hiring for:

bash
# First find the LinkedIn company ID from the company's LinkedIn URL
python tools/jobspy_scraper.py --search "engineer" --company-ids 1234567 \
  --results 100 --fetch-descriptions --output .tmp/company_hiring.csv

Find remote contract roles:

bash
python tools/jobspy_scraper.py --search "data analyst" --remote \
  --job-type contract --results 30 --output .tmp/remote_contracts.csv

Error Handling

ErrorFix
ModuleNotFoundError: jobspyRun pip install -U python-jobspy
0 results returnedBroaden search term, remove location, increase --results
Rate limited / blockedWait a few minutes; avoid running back-to-back large scrapes
hours_old and easy_apply cannot both be setRemove one of those flags

Script Location

The scraper script lives at tools/jobspy_scraper.py.

If it doesn't exist, copy it from skills/linkedin-scraper/scripts/jobspy_scraper.py to tools/:

bash
cp skills/linkedin-job-scraper/scripts/jobspy_scraper.py tools/
