👋 Hey Product Hunt!

Excited to launch Google Maps Job Search Helper Chrome Extension today!

This started as a personal side project to help people find hidden job opportunities by scanning business listings on Google Maps and auto-detecting job or career pages on their websites.

It’s perfect if you’re:

Tired of generic job boards
Looking for local opportunities
Targeting specific industries or businesses
A recruiter building a lead list

Some key features include: ✅ Business keyword + location search
✅ Multi-language job detection
✅ CSV export
✅ 100% local & private
✅ Open-source

Would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or any ways you'd use it!

Great solution for job hunting! Especially valuable that it's free and open-source — a rarity these days. I'm sure it'll save tons of time and uncover new opportunities for many job seekers.

 Thanks! I made this initially for myself, and then I thought maybe some other people also find it useful, so I made it open source and free.

Find it super-useful. If people can find a suitable job position according to their location, it could save them so much time on commuting. :) Wish you GL!

 Thank you!

Hey Kaidoj, congrats on the launch! 👋 This is a really clever approach to uncovering hidden job opportunities by leveraging Google Maps data and scanning company sites directly. Definitely addresses a pain point beyond generic job boards.


As someone building AI tools for growth (), I appreciate the focus on finding those less visible opportunities. The multi-language detection and CSV export are great practical features too.


Question: How robust is the job detection on various company career page structures? Does it primarily look for specific keywords/links, or does it use more advanced parsing to identify potential roles even on non-standard pages?


Smart idea, especially for local searches. Wishing you a successful launch! 🗺️💼

 Thanks! It currently searches for keywords on the website. I will definitely improve it based on users' feedback.

Uncovering hidden jobs is a game changer! 👀

Congratulations on the launch of this exciting tool

Definitely helpful for graduating students in such an era
Such a brilliant tool! It's amazing how creative solutions like this can open new doors for job seekers. Kudos to the makers!

Its not really helpful, it lists down the locations nearby only
