Scout: Job Capture Firefox

Scout: Job Capture

Capture LinkedIn and Seek job listings as you browse, saved straight to your Scout account. Triage roles for fit, generate tailored cover letters and resumes, and track every application in one place. A free Scout account is required.

Features & Capabilities

Scout turns job hunting into a fast, organized workflow. As you browse jobs on LinkedIn and Seek, Scout captures the listings you view (title, company, location, salary, full description, and posting date) and saves them to your Scout account, so you never lose track of a role or re-read the same posting twice.

In your Scout dashboard you can:

  • Triage captured jobs against your profile and get a fit score with your strengths and gaps for each role.
  • Generate tailored cover letters and resumes that draw on your background and the role's requirements.
  • Discover similar roles from a shared job index built from listings across the community.
  • Track everything in one place, from new to applied to interviewing.

How it works:

  1. Click "Connect to Scout" in the popup to link the extension to your account. No copying tokens.
  2. Browse LinkedIn or Seek as you normally would. Scout captures the listings you view automatically, at a respectful rate, and shows a live count on the toolbar icon.
  3. Open the Scout web app to triage, compare, and apply.

You stay in control. The extension only runs on supported job boards and the Scout web app, and stays dormant on every other site. You can pause capture at any time from the popup, and disconnect the extension from your account whenever you like.

Your captures are stored in your own Scout account and are used only to provide the Scout service. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers. A free Scout account is required to use the extension.

Is Scout: Job Capture Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Scout: Job Capture requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Scout: Job Capture is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
