JobTracker works in three layers: dedicated extractors for major platforms, smart URL pattern matching for company career pages, and a manual add option for anything else. Here's the full breakdown.

Quick answer

The extension works on any job board. Platforms listed below get automatic title/company/location extraction. Everything else still shows the tracking badge and lets you add the job manually with one click.

Tier 1: Full Auto-Detection

These platforms have dedicated extractors that reliably pull job title, company name, location, and salary (when available) without any manual input.

hiring.cafe/*

Tier 2: Smart URL Detection

Even without a dedicated extractor, the extension automatically detects job pages based on URL patterns. This covers hundreds of thousands of company career pages built on various platforms or custom stacks.

The extension recognizes these URL patterns as job pages:

/careers/jobs/*
/careers/positions/*
/careers/openings/*
/jobs/apply/*
/jobs/view/*
/jobs/opening/*
jobs.company.com/*
careers.company.com/*

When the extension detects these patterns, it shows the tracking badge (blue + for new, green ✓ for already tracked). Data extraction uses smart heuristics that look at page headings, structured data markup (Schema.org JobPosting), and common CSS class names.

How Schema.org extraction works

Many job boards embed structured data in their pages using Schema.org's JobPosting format. When this markup is present, JobTracker reads it directly - giving near-perfect extraction accuracy regardless of the platform. Boards that use this markup include many custom ATS systems and well-engineered career pages.

Company Career Pages (Direct)

In addition to ATS platforms, JobTracker works directly on company career pages that match common URL structures. If you're on a job posting at:

The badge appears and data extraction attempts to find the job title, company, and location from page content.

✓ = reliable extraction   ~ = best-effort heuristic   — = not extracted

Adding Jobs from Any Site

The extension badge only appears on recognized job pages, but you can track a job from any website:

  1. Click the JobTracker extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
  2. Click "Add job manually"
  3. Fill in the company name, job title, and URL
  4. Click Save

This works for any job source: email referrals, company Slack channels, personal connections, job fairs, or obscure job boards that aren't auto-detected yet.

Tip

When adding manually, you can paste the job URL from any tab - the application saves it so you can revisit the posting later. Even if the job eventually gets removed from the board, your tracked entry stays in the database.

Common Questions

Does it work on Glassdoor?

Glassdoor job listings often redirect to the employer's ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday). The extension detects those destination pages directly. If you're viewing a Glassdoor-hosted listing, the heuristic extractor will attempt to read the title and company from the page.

What about AngelList / Wellfound?

Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) uses /jobs/ in its URL structure. The extension detects these pages and attempts heuristic extraction. For best results, add the job title and company manually if the auto-extracted data looks off.

ZipRecruiter, Monster, CareerBuilder?

These boards don't have dedicated extractors yet, but if they use /jobs/ or /apply/ in their URLs the badge appears. Heuristic extraction should get the title and company in most cases. Add any missing fields manually.

Remote.co, We Work Remotely, Remote OK?

Remote job boards vary in URL structure. Remote.co and We Work Remotely use /jobs/ URLs and are picked up by the URL pattern detector. RemoteOK uses a different structure - add those manually. All three boards are on the roadmap for dedicated extractors.

What if the badge doesn't appear on a job page?

If you're on a job posting page but don't see the blue + badge, the URL might not match any known pattern. Use the extension popup to add it manually, and consider opening an issue on GitHub to request support for that board.
