Overview

What is Bardeen?

Bardeen is a browser-based automation tool that uses AI to automate repetitive tasks directly in the browser, including data extraction, form filling, and web scraping, via a Chrome extension. In a recruiting workflow, it handles lightweight automation tasks that live in the browser: scraping LinkedIn search results, extracting data from job boards, or auto-populating ATS records from a candidate profile without leaving the page. Best suited for individual recruiters and small teams who want browser automation without building a full n8n or Make workflow.

Features

What are Bardeen's key features?

Scrapes candidate profiles from LinkedIn, Indeed, and other job boards into a spreadsheet.

A natural-language playbook builder stands up workflows without custom scraping code.

Automates the browser directly, so it runs on sites with no developer connector.

Sourced data flows automatically into Sheets, Airtable, your CRM, or your ATS.

Automations fire from the Chrome extension while a recruiter browses, in real time.

Use Cases

How do recruiting teams use Bardeen?

  • A solo recruiter at a boutique agency uses Bardeen's Chrome extension to automate pulling LinkedIn search results into a spreadsheet.
  • A multi-desk agency pairs Bardeen's browser-layer data extraction with Clay for enrichment, handling the browser-side steps of a sourcing workflow in Bardeen.
  • An in-house TA team's recruiting coordinator uses Bardeen's no-code playbooks to automate repetitive browser tasks like extracting job posting data and bulk-updating ATS records, replacing manual copy-paste across tools.
Fit

Who is Bardeen best for?

  • Recruiters losing hours a week to small, repetitive browser tasks - copying data from a LinkedIn profile, pasting it into a CRM, updating a status manually
  • Teams whose manual workflow is well-defined enough to automate, but too narrow in scope to justify a full custom build
  • Agencies that want time savings on the everyday browser-based grind before investing in a system-wide automation overhaul
