Download Spyder Jobs

Not on the Chrome Web Store — a direct download instead. Takes about a minute to install.

Install it

  1. Download the .zip above, then unzip it somewhere you'll keep it (don't delete the folder afterwards — Chrome loads the extension from it directly).
  2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome.
  3. Turn on Developer mode (top-right toggle).
  4. Click Load unpacked, then select the unzipped folder.
  5. Pin it to your toolbar and open it — click Sign in with Google to get started.

Why not the Chrome Web Store?

Spyder Jobs uses Chrome's debugger permission to interact with job application pages the same way a careful human would — real clicks, real typed keystrokes — rather than scripted DOM manipulation, since many ATS (applicant tracking system) sites specifically detect and block the simpler kind of automation. Chrome Web Store review scrutinizes that permission heavily with no guaranteed approval, so for now we distribute directly instead of waiting on that process.

Staying updated

Since this isn't installed through the Chrome Web Store, it can't silently auto-update in the background. The extension checks for new versions periodically and will show a small "Update available" link in its popup when one exists — click it, then repeat the install steps above with the new zip.
