When Your Agent Can’t Find Enough Matching Jobs

💬 Heads up: Sometimes the job market simply doesn’t have many roles that match your current preferences. A few quick adjustments usually unlock a much larger pool of opportunities. Follow this guide to tweak your targeting, check the job market, and relaunch your Job Search Agent.

🔧 Step 1 — Broaden Your Three Key Preferences

💡 Tip: Even one broader title can 2–5× the number of jobs your Agent finds.

🕵️ Step 2 — Check the Job Market on LinkedIn (~2 Minutes)

1. Open LinkedIn Jobs

2. Enter your revised job title

3. Set filters:

   • Location: match your preferred type (On-site / Hybrid / Remote)

   • Date Posted:

     • Daily Agent → Past day

     • Weekly Agent → Past week

4. Review results:

   • If still low, broaden your title or location type further.

✅ Goal: See a steady stream of fresh postings for your revised preferences.

🚀 Step 3 — Update & Relaunch in Agent Studio

1. Open Agent Studio

2. Click Edit Agent Targeting

3. Submit your updated preferences

🔁 Once submitted, your Agent will immediately rerun the search and send fresh matches with application kits. Note that each Agent job collection comes with two attempts — the first collection and a second backup collection, triggered manually, if results were too low.

📌 Example Adjustments

• Frontend Developer → Software Developer, Frontend Engineer

• Hybrid only → On-site or Any

• Full-time only → Full-time + Contract or Any

❓ FAQ

Will broadening hurt relevance?

No — your Agent still filters for top matches within your updated scope.

When should I adjust?

Whenever your Agent reports the market has too few roles matching your preferences.

✅ Quick Action Plan

Pick → Test → Update
