ClaudeThe job market is broken. Jobs get posted, resumes get collected, screening is automated, and most candidates never hear back. It feels less like hiring and more like running people through a funnel that no one is actually watching. You apply, tick all the boxes, and then nothing: no feedback, no rejection, just silence.
The job boards are trying to solve this problem by using AI to match skills and experience to the jobs being searched for. It’s a nice way to save time, minus the frustration that comes when applying for jobs. LinkedIn introduced the skills-matching feature a while back. However, the full version is available on a subscription basis. Now, as we all know, a LinkedIn subscription is costly.
Frankly, the LinkedIn skills-matching feature is rudimentary and most likely inaccurate. Most of the time, it incorrectly matches jobs to skills. So, what if you could do the AI job matching using the Claude Chrome extension?
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the Claude Chrome extension to find jobs that actually match your skills and experience. You’ll learn how to access LinkedIn inside Claude, run targeted job searches, and ask Claude to surface roles aligned with your resume. We’ll also walk through using Claude to write tailored cover letters and format your resume so it passes automated screening systems instead of disappearing into them.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:
- Open LinkedIn inside the Claude Chrome tab group
- Search for jobs and use Claude to match your skills
- Write a cover letter for a particular job
- Format your CV to pass ATS screening
Let’s dive right into it!
