IFTTT is probably not a new tool on internet and it can also be used in your job search by simply using recipes.

Moreover you can also add parameters like people, dates, places to narrow down your search. Take an example - If Twitter then that. (Office OR #Office AND Blogger OR #Blogger AND Job OR #Job) Bring this recipe to your email and get notification automatically.
