Job boards make you search the same thing every morning. Sauce Hunter does it for you once a day, keeps only what matches your keywords, scores it, and hands you a tidy list you can paste straight into a spreadsheet.
It’s not a service. There’s no sign-up and nothing to subscribe to. You run your own copy, with your own keywords and your own database, on free tiers.
How it works
- Fetch. Every morning a cron job pulls new listings from public sources: Arbeitnow and company boards on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby. Adzuna and Reed are optional if you add free API keys.
- Filter and score. A job is kept only if its title matches one of your include terms and none of your exclude terms. Boost terms add points by field, so the best fits rise to the top.
- Flag sponsors. UK jobs are checked against the government’s visa sponsor register.
- Group by day. Each job is stored once, across sources and days. Press Copy as CSV, paste into your sheet, and the day is marked copied.
Sample output
