Job Scout Agent: automation for Hermes Agent

Job search agent that fetches listings, scores them against your profile and tracks them in a CSV

What Job Scout Agent does

Job Scout fetches jobs from multiple live job board APIs, scores each listing against the skills and preferences in a profile.conf file, researches each company and saves results into dated folders under ~/job_scout_results/. Each job folder holds a clean job description, a match score, the application link and company research, and the day's summary.md lists scores and apply links. The profile has fields for name or title, target titles, skills, years of experience, location preference, salary expectation, work authorization and relocation.

A job_scout_tracker.csv is updated on every run with date found, title, company, score, salary, remote status, apply link, status and follow-up date, and it can be imported into Google Sheets. The README says the entire tool was written by Hermes Agent itself, using its execute_code, write_file and browser capabilities, from a single prompt. Running it is one command, python3 job_scout.py, after Hermes Agent is installed and the profile is filled in.
