How it works
This workflow automates the tedious task of finding and extracting relevant job postings from Hacker News' monthly 'Ask HN: Who is Hiring?' threads. It begins by querying the HN Algolia API to fetch the latest 'Who is Hiring?' posts. The raw text content from these posts is then meticulously cleaned and preprocessed. Subsequently, an AI model (OpenAI Chat GPT-4o-mini) is leveraged to parse and structure the unstructured job data into a predefined schema, including company name, job title, location, salary, and application URL. Finally, the structured job data is written to an Airtable base for easy management and analysis.
