Job Search Enhancer

About

🌍 Automatic Language Detection
Detects whether a job requires a non-English language — without AI, without API keys, with no data leaving your browser, with 95% accuracy.

▪︎ Toggle on/off from the popup with a single switch
▪︎ Scans all 7 supported languages automatically — no need to select one
▪︎ Uses a 3-pass detection system for maximum accuracy:
▪︎ Exact keyword matching — e.g. "deutsch erforderlich", "fluent german", "german c1"
▪︎ Proximity matching — catches natural phrasing like "fluent in English and German" or "sehr gute Sprachkompetenz in Deutsch" where the language name and signal word are near each other but not adjacent
▪︎ Document language detection — if the entire job description is written in a non-English language (detected via stopword frequency), that language is flagged as required even with no explicit keywords

Supported languages: Dutch 🇳🇱 · Finnish 🇫🇮 · French 🇫🇷 · German 🇩🇪 · Italian 🇮🇹 · Norwegian 🇳🇴 · Spanish 🇪🇸

Exclusion list prevents false positives — e.g. "no German required" or "German speaking country" are ignored.

🏷️ Language Badge
A colour-coded badge is injected directly into the LinkedIn job detail panel, between the job title and the location/info row:

🔴 🇩🇪 German Required = Language is explicitly required
🟠 🇫🇷 French Preferred = Language is optional / nice to have
🟢 ✅ No Language Requirement = No non-English language requirement detected

▪︎ If multiple languages are detected, the top two are shown in the badge
    All badge colours meet WCAG AA contrast standards

🚫 Hide Promoted Jobs
Automatically hides jobs marked as "Promoted" from the LinkedIn job list sidebar. Uses multiple detection methods to catch all LinkedIn layout variants:
- Checks visible label text
- Scans aria-label attributes
- Detects class names containing "promoted"

🔁 Hide Reposted Jobs
Automatically hides jobs marked as "Reposted", using the same robust multi-method detection.

🗑️ Manual Cache Reset
The popup includes a Reset Cache button that clears all cached scan results, forcing fresh detection on the next job click. Useful after updating settings or if a badge seems wrong.
