With this Connector, you just tell your agent what you want in plain English. It pulls live data from ZipRecruiter to show you exactly what's out there right now. You can ask for remote marketing roles with a specific salary floor or find software engineering jobs within a specific zip code. Instead of manually clicking through dozens of filters, your agent does the heavy lifting by applying those constraints to the search results for you. It even handles pagination, so you can browse through multiple pages of listings just by asking to see more results. This means you don't have to keep track of where you left off or worry about missing a great opportunity because it was buried on page five.

It turns a tedious research task into a quick conversation, letting you spend more time evaluating companies and less time fighting with search bars. ## Tools ### search_jobs Find specific job listings based on keywords, location, salary, and date posted.
