Claude for job search
Claude is great at reading job posts. It just can't see live ones. Paste one prompt and Claude walks you through the rest, then finds remote jobs that fit you from the career pages of 100,000+ companies.
Why Claude job search comes up short on its own
Ask Claude to find you a job and it searches the web. You get posts that closed weeks ago, jobs reposted for months, job board copies, and LinkedIn links it can't open.
It's not you, and it's not Claude. It just has nothing live to search.
How to use Claude for job search
Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude Code. That's it. Claude walks you through every step, then shows you your best matches with links to apply.
Claude job search prompt
Set up my remote job search with Remote Rocketship. 1. Download https://www.remoterocketship.com/skills/remote-jobs-finder/SKILL.md with curl and save it as ~/.claude/skills/remote-jobs-finder/SKILL.md. 2. Read it and follow its first-run steps. Walk me through everything one step at a time. 3. Then show me my best job matches. If you can't run commands on my computer from here, tell me how to open Claude Code and paste this prompt there instead.
Claude Code is the Code tab in the Claude desktop app. Paste the prompt into a regular Claude chat and Claude will point you there.
