Haddy: job alerts in Telegram

The perfect job post sits online until you notice it three days late. Haddy, the HeadHunter chat bot in Telegram, handles that chore: it searches, sends you new listings, and nudges you to apply 💼

The bot is official and belongs to the job service itself. You start it with the Start button, then talk to it through buttons and short messages.

A search in under a minute

Tap "Search vacancies", pick a region, type the job title. You can add a salary, or skip it if you are only testing the market.

The bot returns a selection with links to the listings. To apply, open the listing through the link and press the apply button on its page. Applications are not sent from inside the chat.

Saved searches that deliver

This is the most useful part. You set your conditions once, subscribe to updates, and new listings that match arrive in the messenger. No need to open the website every morning.

• Sharp filters. The more specific the query, the less noise in your notifications.
• Several directions. If you consider neighboring professions, set up a separate search for each.
• Switch off. Notifications can be turned off with a button once you have landed a job.

A resume with prompts

According to the bot's description, it can create a resume. For a first-timer that is a gentle start: it asks questions in order, so the blank page stops being scary.

After the draft, polish the resume on the service's website. Add achievements, numbers, and current skills.

Keeping the flood under control

Saved searches can easily turn into spam you send yourself. A few habits keep the feed manageable.

1. Run the search by hand first and compare results for different job titles.
2. Keep the two or three best queries and turn them into saved searches.
3. Once a week, see if your conditions are too broad.
4. Apply the same day: fresh listings collect many responses in the first hours.
5. Add a short cover note tailored to each vacancy.

Beware of "helpers"

Around the official bot there are many third-party services promising automatic applications, boosted views, and "skip the queue" access. They ask for access to your account and often break the platform's rules.

• Never share your login and password with unknown bots.
• Do not pay for guaranteed employment. An honest employer never charges a candidate.
• Check every listing. A request for prepayment for training or equipment is a classic scam sign.

Who gets the most from it

People who are job hunting and do not want to sit on a website all day. It also suits calm monitoring, when you still have a job but would hear out a good offer.

For detailed settings, a full resume, or messaging an employer, you will need the website or the service's app. The bot does the first leg of the journey well: find the listing and do not miss it 🙂
