The same boards for a role outside tech. The Hacker News thread is mostly tech jobs.
An AI job finder that searches four job boards at once.
LinkedIn showed pay on 0 of 50 cards. Glassdoor showed it on 22 of 30, but only 3 were posted this week.
An AI job finder is an agent that searches several job boards for you and merges what comes back. On 29 October 2026 one agent searched LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor and Hacker News for remote senior frontend roles. It got 100 job cards, 5 jobs twice, and 23 of LinkedIn's 25 Remote cards outside the US. The run cost $0.0043.
FOR Job seekers who want one agent to search every job board for them
What an AI job finder does
Most AI job finder apps search their own index of jobs, and many apply for you. An agent with job board tools works another way. You name the boards. It searches each one live, then merges, filters and sorts the results in your chat, and you see every call and its price.
By hand, you run the same search on four sites, open the cards one by one, and spot the repeats and the remote jobs you cannot take. With an agent, you paste one prompt.
The run below searched LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor and the Hacker News hiring thread for remote senior frontend roles, for someone who lives in the US.
One prompt.
Your agent runs it.
Your agent picks the tools, makes the calls and reads the results. You see each charge as it settles.
Every call.
Every charge.
What your agent asked each tool, what came back and what it cost. Calls that failed or found nothing were not charged.

What each board returned
LinkedIn's public search, with the location set to Remote, returned 25 cards from 16 countries. Only 2 were in the US. The agent searched again with United States as the location and got 25 US cards, 17 of them open across the whole country. None of the 50 LinkedIn cards showed pay.
Indeed flagged all 15 of its jobs remote and showed pay on 6, but 14 were more than 30 days old. Glassdoor showed a pay range on 22 of 30, almost all set by the employer. Only 3 were posted in the last week, and 8 rows were not remote at all. The October Hacker News thread had 5 posts naming frontend and remote, and 2 of them hire remotely in the US.

Duplicates, and remote jobs you cannot take
5 jobs came back twice. NewtonX and Castlight Health were on LinkedIn and on Indeed or Glassdoor. Openly and Menrva Group were on Indeed and Glassdoor. ClickHouse came back from both LinkedIn searches. Affirm listed one staff role in two cities.
Remote does not mean remote from anywhere. 23 LinkedIn cards were tied to other countries, and one Hacker News post hires only in Poland or Romania. A US card can narrow too. The Maven Clinic post, which LinkedIn marks remote, hires in New York or 5 other metro areas and gives its pay range only for New York City, California and Colorado.
What the run cost
The two LinkedIn searches cost $0.0011 each. Indeed, Glassdoor and Hacker News cost $0.0003 each. Reading one LinkedIn post in full cost $0.0012. No call failed, and the whole run cost $0.0043.
Prices are per call, shown in the catalog before your agent calls, and paid from a prepaid balance.
| Method | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| By hand | Free | The same search on each site, repeats and all |
| AI job finder app | Check current pricing | The app's own job index, often with auto apply |
| Agent with tapinall | $0.0043 for this run | 100 cards from 4 boards, merged and filtered in your chat |
What this run did not do
Each search read one page, as a visitor sees it: 25 LinkedIn cards of 60, 15 Indeed jobs and 30 Glassdoor jobs. Indeed returned 15 rows though the agent asked for 25. More pages cost more calls.
The agent did not apply, write a cover letter or check that a job is still open. Many Glassdoor and Indeed jobs were weeks old, so some may be filled. Read each post for where the company hires before you apply.
Change the market.
Keep the recipe.
Prompts that use the same tools. We have not run these, so check each price in the catalog.
Two boards and one city, at $0.0003 a search.
One call. The thread tool reads the first 5 posts for role, place and pay.
Good questions,
short answers.
What is the best AI job finder?
The one that searches the boards where your role is posted and shows where each result came from. Here one agent searched LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor and Hacker News from one prompt for $0.0043, and every job traces back to the board that returned it.
Can AI search several job boards at once?
Yes. An agent with job board tools calls each board in turn and merges the results. In this run 5 searches on 4 boards returned 100 job cards for $0.0031.
Which job board shows salaries most often?
In this run, Glassdoor: 22 of 30 jobs had a pay range. Indeed showed pay on 6 of 15, Hacker News posts on 3 of 5, and LinkedIn on 0 of 50 search cards. The LinkedIn post read in full gave its range in the description.
How does the agent drop duplicate job posts?
It matches the company and title across boards. 5 jobs came back twice in this run: NewtonX, Castlight Health, Openly, Menrva Group and ClickHouse.
Does an AI job finder apply for me?
This one does not. The agent searched the boards and read one post. It did not apply, fill in forms or message anyone, and it used no login.
A prepaid balance, spent per call.
Top up by card and your agent spends the balance one call at a time. This run cost $0.0043. Credits never expire, failed calls cost nothing, and every tool in the metered tool catalog shows its price before your agent calls. See per-call pricing.
