👋 Hey Product Hunt!
Excited to launch Google Maps Job Search Helper Chrome Extension today!
This started as a personal side project to help people find hidden job opportunities by scanning business listings on Google Maps and auto-detecting job or career pages on their websites.
It’s perfect if you’re:
Tired of generic job boards
Looking for local opportunities
Targeting specific industries or businesses
A recruiter building a lead list
Some key features include: ✅ Business keyword + location search
✅ Multi-language job detection
✅ CSV export
✅ 100% local & private
✅ Open-source
Would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or any ways you'd use it!
minimalist phone: creating folders
Find it super-useful. If people can find a suitable job position according to their location, it could save them so much time on commuting. :) Wish you GL!

@busmark_w_nika Thank you!
Hey Kaidoj, congrats on the launch! 👋 This is a really clever approach to uncovering hidden job opportunities by leveraging Google Maps data and scanning company sites directly. Definitely addresses a pain point beyond generic job boards.
As someone building AI tools for growth (@UNI AI), I appreciate the focus on finding those less visible opportunities. The multi-language detection and CSV export are great practical features too.
Question: How robust is the job detection on various company career page structures? Does it primarily look for specific keywords/links, or does it use more advanced parsing to identify potential roles even on non-standard pages?
Smart idea, especially for local searches. Wishing you a successful launch! 🗺️💼

@theo_l Thanks! It currently searches for keywords on the website. I will definitely improve it based on users' feedback.
Uncovering hidden jobs is a game changer! 👀
Great solution for job hunting! Especially valuable that it's free and open-source — a rarity these days. I'm sure it'll save tons of time and uncover new opportunities for many job seekers.

@charltontomtom Thanks! I made this initially for myself, and then I thought maybe some other people also find it useful, so I made it open source and free.
Really smart idea! Love that it finds hidden jobs . Excited to try it out!
