Bulk Job Application Follow-Up Reminder Scheduler

WHAT IT DOES

Bulk Job Application Follow-Up Reminder Scheduler is a job search productivity tool that streamlines the process of tracking and following up on job applications. Instead of manually creating calendar events or relying on memory to remember when to follow up—a process that can lead to missed opportunities—this script automates the workflow. It scans any webpage for job listing or application-related text (company names, job titles, dates), extracts them as potential applications, and presents them as a scrollable checklist. You can select individual applications, use Select All/Deselect All toggles, configure the number of days after which to follow up (default 7 days), and schedule desktop notifications that will remind you to follow up at the right time. The script stores scheduled reminders persistently using GM_setValue, so they survive page reloads and browser restarts. Notifications include the company name and job title, making it easy to prepare for each follow-up. This is ideal for job seekers, recruiters, career coaches, and anyone managing multiple job applications.

WHERE IT RUNS

This script is universal—it runs on any website (*://*/*) as a userscript injected through the BotGentz extension. It operates within the context of your current browser tab and cannot access other tabs, bookmarks, history, or downloads. The script reads the page DOM to extract job-related text using pattern matching for company indicators (Inc, LLC, Corp, etc.) and job title indicators (Engineer, Manager, Designer, etc.). It then stores reminders using GM_setValue and schedules notifications using GM_notification. All operations occur locally in your browser; no data is sent to external servers.

HOW TO USE

1. Navigate to any page containing job applications—your job board dashboard, a spreadsheet of applications, an email inbox with application confirmations, or any page listing jobs.

2. Click the BotGentz extension icon and select "Bulk Job Application Follow-Up Reminder Scheduler" from the script list.

3. The panel opens on the right side of the page. It automatically scans the current page for job application data.

4. Review the detected applications, showing company name, job title, and application date.

5. Set the "Follow-up days" value (default 7) to control how many days after the application you want the reminder.

6. Check the boxes next to applications you wish to schedule reminders for. Use "Select All" or "Deselect All" for quick selection.

7. Click "Schedule Follow-Ups" to create reminders. Notifications will appear after the configured number of days.

8. Click "View Reminders" to copy a list of all scheduled reminders to your clipboard.

9. When a reminder triggers, a desktop notification will appear with the company and job title details.

WHY IT WORKS WHERE OTHERS FAIL

Many job tracking tools are dedicated applications that require manual data entry for each job application—a process that's time-consuming and prone to error. This script takes a different approach: it automatically extracts job application data from the page you're already viewing, using intelligent pattern recognition to identify company names (looking for business suffixes like Inc, LLC, Corp) and job titles (looking for role indicators like Engineer, Manager, Designer). It then uses the browser's built-in notification API (GM_notification) to deliver timely follow-up reminders without requiring any external services or accounts. The script stores reminders persistently using GM_setValue, which survives page reloads and browser restarts, ensuring you don't miss follow-ups even if you close the browser. By automating the extraction and scheduling process, it eliminates the friction of manual tracking and helps maintain consistent follow-up momentum.

THE PANEL

The script uses BotGentz's BGPanel system, which provides a floating, draggable panel on the right side of your screen. Drag the panel by its header to reposition it anywhere on the page—the panel remembers its position per site and snaps to the nearest edge when released. Click the minimize button to collapse the panel to a small floating bubble; click the bubble to expand it back. Resize the panel vertically by dragging its bottom edge. Press the Escape key to close the panel entirely. All panel state (position, collapsed/expanded) is persisted locally using GM_setValue, so your preferences survive page reloads.

PLEASE NOTE

This userscript requires the free BotGentz browser extension—it is not a standalone application. The script extracts job application data using text pattern recognition, which may not be perfect on all pages—some applications may be missed or misidentified. The script uses GM_notification for reminders, which requires that you have granted notification permissions to your browser. Reminders are stored using GM_setValue and are subject to the storage limits of the BotGentz extension. This script does not access your password, hidden inputs, or file inputs. All data extraction and reminder scheduling occurs entirely within your browser. Use responsibly and verify the extracted data before scheduling reminders.
