Motivation

InfoJobs does a poor job of showing the exact status of the candidatures, and the candidatures are sorted by the last time that the company managed CVs which is not optimal.

I want to have a clear view of the status of my candidatures, and InfoJobs does a poor job of showing me exactly that, plus the candidatures are sorted by the last time that the company managed CVs which is not optimal.

Disclaimer

As InfoJobs heavily blocks automated scraping the solution is kinda hacky, it entails automating the keyboard to open the source code of the page, select, and then copy the text. It requires that you're logged in, on your default browser.

The default DELAY is set to a value that usually does not trigger the "are you a robot?" page when there are a lot of candidatures.

Features

• Sort by status

  

• Your candidatures in a single page

  • HTML output
