I built a Chrome extension that helps job seekers avoid wasting time on weak listings

I recently launched JobLog Filter, a free Chrome extension designed to make the job search process faster and more efficient.

The idea came from my own experience. Traditional job searching often feels slow because people spend time opening and reviewing listings that may already be outdated, highly competitive, or simply not a good match.

JobLog Filter analyzes the information available on job listing pages and uses color highlighting to make listings easier to evaluate:

  • Green for listings that match your selected criteria

  • Yellow for listings that may require attention

  • Red for listings that do not meet your filters

The extension does not hide jobs or make decisions for the user. It simply makes important signals easier to notice, so job seekers can decide where their time is best spent.

This is a separate product from my main extension, JobLog. JobLog helps users complete applications more efficiently, while JobLog Filter helps them decide which listings may be worth applying to in the first place.

At the beginning, I spent too much time looking for a way to make the product suddenly “take off.” Now I am focused less on chasing numbers and more on improving the product step by step.

The original goal was to make job searching easier, not to collect users for the sake of collecting users.

JobLog Filter is still new, so I would appreciate honest feedback:

What information do you personally check before deciding whether a job listing is worth applying to?

    I like that you're framing the problem around helping people decide where to spend their attention rather than trying to automate the entire job search.

    I'll be interested to see which signals users consistently rely on after using the extension for a while. Those patterns often reveal what actually drives application decisions rather than what people initially say they want.
