⚠️ External Service Notice

This skill uses Fuku AI (https://hapi.fuku.ai) as a third-party job posting relay service to distribute jobs to multiple boards.

🎉 No LinkedIn Account Binding Required!

LinkedIn job postings are handled through Fuku AI's relay service — you do NOT need to connect or bind your personal LinkedIn account. The job is posted anonymously through Fuku AI's infrastructure.

Data transmitted to Fuku AI:

• Job title, description, company name, location
• Email address for receiving resumes

Authentication:

• Uses embedded client identifier (no user API key required)
• Free tier service provided by Fuku AI

Security:

• Job descriptions are sanitized before transmission to prevent prompt injection
• Job IDs are strictly validated (alphanumeric + hyphens only)
• Channel parameters are filtered to prevent log injection

By using this skill, you consent to transmitting the above data to Fuku AI's servers.

🔒 Security Best Practices

To minimize risks while using this skill:

1. Use a Dedicated Email Address

• Do NOT use personal email — Create a dedicated hiring email (e.g., [e-mail] or [e-mail])
• Use email aliases — Gmail supports [e-mail] for tracking sources
• Forward to main inbox — Set up auto-forwarding if needed

2. Sanitize Job Descriptions Before Submitting

• Remove sensitive info — Don't include internal salary ranges, confidential project names, or proprietary tech stack details
• Avoid personal data — Don't mention hiring manager names, direct contact info, or office security details
• Keep it public-ready — Write descriptions as if they'll be visible to anyone (because they will be)

3. Understand the Relay Model

• Posts are anonymous — Jobs appear under Fuku AI's accounts, not your company's LinkedIn page
• No direct control — You cannot edit/delete postings directly on job boards; contact support if changes needed
• Third-party dependency — If Fuku AI service goes down, postings may be affected

4. Monitor Active Postings

• Save Job IDs — Keep a record of all posted Job IDs for tracking
• Check LinkedIn status — Use check_linkedin_status to verify postings went live
• Periodic audit — Review active postings monthly to ensure they're still accurate

5. Limit Usage for Sensitive Roles

• Executive/C-level positions — Consider traditional channels for confidential searches
• Internal transfers — Use internal HR systems instead
• Security-sensitive roles — Avoid posting details that could reveal infrastructure or vulnerabilities

6. Background Polling Awareness

• Monitor sub-agents spawn automatically — Each job post creates a background monitor that polls every 2 minutes
• Normal behavior — This is expected and required for LinkedIn URL notification
• No action needed — Monitors auto-cleanup after completion

---

Quick Checklist Before Posting:

• Using dedicated hiring email (not personal)
• Job description contains no sensitive/confidential info
• Comfortable with third-party relay service
• Job ID saved for tracking
• Role is appropriate for public job boards

🎯 When to Use

• Post a job opening quickly

🤖 AI Assistant Workflow

⭐ Required: Auto-Notify with Background Monitor

⚠️ IMPORTANT: post_job does NOT automatically monitor LinkedIn sync.

After calling post_job, you MUST spawn a background sub-agent to monitor and notify the user. Without this step, the user will never receive the LinkedIn URL.

Complete workflow:

User: "Post a health manager job in Shanghai"

AI: [Calls post_job]
    → Returns: Job ID `abc123`

AI: [Spawns sub-agent with monitor_linkedin.js]
    → "✅ Job posted! I'll monitor LinkedIn sync and notify you when complete."

[Background monitor polls every 2 minutes]

[When LinkedIn URL is ready]
AI: "🎉 LinkedIn sync complete! Job ID: `abc123`, LinkedIn URL: https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/..."

Spawn the monitor sub-agent like this (REQUIRED):

// After post_job succeeds and returns jobId:
// Step 1: Validate jobId format strictly (alphanumeric + hyphen only)
const safeJobId = jobId.match(/^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$/) ? jobId : null;
if (!safeJobId) throw new Error("Invalid jobId format");

// Step 2: Spawn monitor sub-agent - this is REQUIRED, not optional
await sessions_spawn({
  task: `Monitor LinkedIn sync for job ID ${safeJobId}. Use the check_linkedin_status tool with jobId parameter set to "${safeJobId}". Poll every 2 minutes and notify when LinkedIn URL is available.`,
  mode: "run",
  cleanup: "delete",
});

// Step 3: Tell the user you'll notify them
return `✅ Job posted! Job ID: \`${safeJobId}\`. I'll notify you when LinkedIn sync is complete (usually 5-30 minutes).`;

⚠️ If you skip spawning the monitor:

• The user will NOT receive the LinkedIn URL automatically
• You must manually call check_linkedin_status later
• This creates a poor user experience

Why this design?

• LinkedIn sync takes 5-30 minutes (blocking is not practical)
• The sub-agent polls in the background and notifies when ready
• This keeps the main session free for other tasks

---

Alternative: Manual Polling

If you prefer not to spawn a sub-agent:

1. Save the Job ID from the response
2. Wait 5-10 minutes (LinkedIn sync takes time)
3. Call check_linkedin_status with the Job ID
4. If still pending: Check again every 3-5 minutes
5. When LinkedIn URL is ready: Proactively notify the user

Example Flow

User: "Post a frontend engineer job in Singapore"

AI: [Calls post_job]
    → Returns: Job ID `abc123`, Apply URL

AI: "✅ Job posted! LinkedIn sync in progress..."

[AI waits 5 minutes, then checks]

AI: [Calls check_linkedin_status with jobId: abc123]
    → Returns: LinkedIn URL

AI: "🎉 LinkedIn sync complete! URL: https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/..."

Proactive Check Script (for AI)

// After post_job returns a Job ID:
const jobId = response.jobId;

// Wait 5 minutes
await sleep(300000);

// Check LinkedIn status
const result = await check_linkedin_status({ jobId });

// If still pending, check every 3-5 minutes
// When URL is available, notify user immediately

🔐 Security Notes

• Email Privacy: Resume emails are visible in job postings - use a dedicated hiring email
• Rate Limiting: API may have rate limits for high-volume posting

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue: Job posts but no confirmation

Cause: Response timeout or network issue

Solution: Check backend logs, verify API credentials, retry with --force

Issue: City not recognized

Cause: City not in location database

Solution:

1. Check assets/locations.json for supported cities
2. Try alternative spelling (e.g., "New York" vs "NYC")
3. Add new city to database and republish

Issue: Duplicate job postings

Cause: Multiple API calls due to retry logic

Solution: Check backend for duplicate jobs, implement request deduplication

❓ FAQ - Security & Privacy

Q: Is my data safe with Fuku AI? A: Job data is transmitted to Fuku AI's servers for distribution. They act as a relay service. Avoid sharing confidential information in job descriptions.

Q: Do I need to trust Fuku AI? A: Yes — this skill depends on their service to post jobs. Review their terms at https://hapi.fuku.ai if you have concerns.

Q: Can I use this without LinkedIn sync? A: Yes — jobs are still posted to 20+ other boards. LinkedIn is optional background sync.

Q: Will the job appear on MY LinkedIn company page? A: No — postings appear through Fuku AI's relay accounts, not your company's page. This is why no LinkedIn binding is required.

Q: What happens if Fuku AI goes offline? A: Job posting may fail or LinkedIn sync may be delayed. The skill will return an error message.

Q: Can I delete a job after posting? A: Contact Fuku AI support with your Job ID. Direct deletion through this skill is not currently supported.

Q: Is the embedded credential a security risk? A: The embedded identifier is for Fuku AI's free tier access. It doesn't expose your personal credentials, but means jobs are posted under their service account.

Q: Should I use this for confidential hiring? A: No — use traditional channels (internal HR systems, executive search firms) for sensitive or confidential roles.
