Every morning at 5, while I’m still asleep, Claude checks the job board I pointed it at, reads every job posted in the last 24 hours, scores each one against my CV, and writes proposals for the ten best matches. By the time I’m up, they’re in a Google Drive folder named after today’s date, ranked 01 to 10.
I don’t start it. I don’t watch it. I read ten proposals and decide which ones to send.
That took three parts to build, and this is the one where you get all of it.
Part 1 used Claude in Chrome to scrape 161 job posts from Indeed, Glassdoor, and Upwork into a single Google Sheet. Part 2 built Head Hunter, a skill that reads your CV and scores every post against it, then drafts proposals for the best ones. Part 3, this guide, is the scheduled task that runs both of them every morning without you.
You don’t need to have read the first two. At the end, I hand over one folder with three prompts, one per part. Paste them in order and the whole chain is yours.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
What a scheduled task is, in plain English, and where to find it in Cowork
The one prompt that builds the entire Daily Job Hunt task, start to finish
What the first run actually produced
This was made in collaboration with Gencay . He writes LearnAIWithMe, a newsletter focused on practical AI tutorials for people who’d rather replace than be replaced by AI. If you’re interested in building real projects with AI, check out LearnAIWithMe
What a scheduled task is, in plain English
A scheduled task is a prompt Cowork runs for you on a schedule, in a fresh session, with your project folder attached. You write it once, pick a time, and it runs every day at that time.
To see yours, click on “Scheduled”.
Setting it up
When you click on “New task”, you can see two options.

The task we’ll create here will automate job hunting. It will find relevant jobs and write proposals for them automatically, without needing you, from start to finish.
