The Job Search Stack
The Job Search Stack is a paid automation bundle designed to streamline the job application process using Claude AI. It includes Claude Cowork skill files, a pre-configured Google Sheet template, and Apps Scripts that work together to scrape thousands of company ATS boards, queue matching roles, open job tabs for one-click applications, draft personalized follow-up emails to recruiters, and maintain an interview tracker synced with Gmail and Calendar. The system runs autonomously, requiring about 15 minutes of daily user involvement once configured. It is available in US and International versions, with updates adding new ATS platforms and expanding board coverage. The stack leverages Claude Cowork to run multiple skills: Jobright scraping (optional), morning tab opener, interview tracker, and recruiter lookup with follow-up email drafting. The Google Sheet includes a custom 'Job Stack' menu for easy scraping and trigger setup, and the Companies tab is pre-seeded with thousands of verified ATS endpoints that grows automatically. The primary discovery layer is ATS scraping, which runs without Cowork, while Jobright serves as an optional secondary source in the US version. The International version uses Adzuna and France Travail instead. Running costs are low compared to subscription job search platforms: the stack uses roughly 5% of a typical Claude allocation on a busy day. Beyond the required Claude Pro plan ($20/mo) and Claude Cowork, the only additional cost is Hunter.io API credits if the follow-up email step is used, which costs about $50 for 1,000 credits lasting 6-8 months. The tool does not auto-apply or auto-send emails; these steps remain manual to avoid unreliability and wasted money. The stack is aimed at technical job seekers who can follow setup instructions and want ownership of their pipeline. It requires a Google account, the Simplify Chrome extension for one-click applying, and optionally a Jobright.ai account for the US version. The system is not

Problem solved
The Job Search Stack automates the most time-consuming parts of a cold job application pipeline: discovering new job postings quickly, tracking applications, and sending personalized follow-up emails to recruiters. It solves the problem of manual ATS board checking and recruiter outreach, which previously took 20-30 minutes per application, by automating scraping, queueing, and email drafting while keeping the final application and sending steps under user control for reliability and personalization.
