What is job search automation?


The Reason Why
If you're looking for work based on several different skills, in various industries, and at numerous cities, you need to carry out the job search process many times. For example, given that you have 3 job titles, 2 industries, and 4 cities, you may want to execute 24 different search commands, each for a unique set of skill, industry and city. This is reason enough for job search automation.

Furthermore, if you want to use many web search engines and repeat the job search process again and again every other day, job search automation is totally necessary.
