Screen job listings against your resume and salary targets
A job seeker uses an agent each morning to filter LinkedIn roles by level, pay, and resume fit before deciding what to pursue.
- What they did
- After being laid off, they set up a custom agent to scan new LinkedIn postings every morning. For each role, it checks levels.fyi for the company’s level and pay range, then compares the listing with their resume and marks how well it matches. They still make the final call on which jobs stay on the list.
- How it went
- The agent usually turns up 5-10 possible roles a day, but human review cuts that down to about 0-2, or roughly 0.5 on average. They say about 10% of applications lead to a response, and their interview pipeline stays busy.
- Tips
- Use the agent to narrow the pile, not replace your own judgment. A focused shortlist matters more here than sending out lots of applications.

Each morning, open my [LinkedIn search or saved jobs page] and review new postings from the last [24 hours] for [target role] in [location]. For each listing, look up the company’s level and typical pay on levels.fyi, compare the role with my resume at [resume link or pasted resume], and give it a fit score from 1 to 5 with one short reason. Rank the best matches, flag anything below [minimum salary], and stop before any application, email, message, or submission until I say to continue.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
