Done with Claude Cowork· Intermediate· Mar 2026

What they did
A user set up Claude Cowork with its own Chrome session plus three documents: a resume, a cover letter, and a file of answers to common screening questions. They also gave it a prompt with job boards to check, location and pay rules, exceptions to skip, and a spreadsheet to record each application. The agent then opened tabs, reviewed listings one by one, filtered out mismatches, filled in application fields from the documents, handled screening questions, and tracked every submission.
How it went
It submitted 50 applications in less than 30 minutes while the user worked on something else. The source does not report any later hiring results or any errors during the run.
Tips
Give the agent clear skip rules and a place to log each application. Have it pause for your approval before any final submit step.

Try it yourself with Claude Cowork

Open the job boards and saved listings at [links or spreadsheet]. For each posting, check whether it matches my rules for [minimum salary], [location], and [required role details]. If it does not, skip it and note why. If it does, use my resume at [file path], cover letter at [file path], and Q&A sheet at [file path] to complete the application and answer screening questions. Before you click any final submit button, stop and show me the completed form for approval. Afterward, give me a log of every application sent and every posting skipped, with the reason for each skip.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
