How to Use without a Chrome Plugin (via email)?

Job Boards send job-alert emails. You can forward any one of those emails to [email protected]. You will get a report in 2 minutes. If you send multiple job-alert emails in a day, each report will have the memory of the previous emails sent.

We recommend: to process email job-alerts, it is best to click on the link you get at the bottom of each job-alert email. That will open the browser results and then use the JobGrabber Chrome plugin to capture them. Each job-alert email only has a handful of all the new jobs available. Opening the link at the bottom of the job-board alert gives you all the job ads.
