The problem it solves

You need current job listings for recruiting or research, but manually checking job boards every few hours isn't realistic. Copying listings into a spreadsheet by hand is slow and easy to fall behind on. Your team needs a reliable, up-to-date source without the manual work.

Who it fits

HR and recruiting teams who track job listings for hiring or market research.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks for the latest job listings
  2. It confirms the data came through successfully
  3. New listings go into Google Sheets
  4. Your HR team gets an email confirming the sync
  5. If the check fails, your IT team is alerted by email instead
What you get

Listings you see without checking job boards

Fresh job postings show up in your spreadsheet automatically every few hours without anyone checking job boards.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet of current job listings and an email confirming the sync.

What you need

A job listings API subscription and a Google Sheets account with email notifications.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
