Automated Y Combinator Job Finder to Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automates job hunting by scraping the latest listings from the Y Combinator Jobs page. It triggers every 6 hours, uses Scrapeless to fetch structured Markdown data, processes it with JavaScript nodes to extract job titles and links, flattens the data into rows, and appends new entries directly to a Google Sheet. Ideal for job seekers, recruiters, or HR teams monitoring startup opportunities without manual effort.

Key benefits include no-code setup, reliable scheduling, and seamless data storage in Sheets for sharing and analysis. It's extensible—easily add notifications via Telegram, Slack, or email. The workflow requires a self-hosted n8n instance due to community nodes, a Scrapeless API key, and Google Sheets access, making it a powerful, zero-maintenance tool for staying ahead in competitive job markets.

Use cases: Personal job alerts for tech roles, team dashboards for talent acquisition, or market research on YC-funded companies. Saves hours of daily manual scraping and ensures you never miss fresh postings.
