The problem it solves

You're refreshing job boards over and over so you don't miss a good opening, and it eats up time you could spend applying or reaching out. By the time you spot a promising post, someone else may have already applied.

Who it fits

A job seeker, recruiter, or freelancer actively hunting for new roles on a specific job board.

How it works

  1. Checks a job board's listings every few hours
  2. Filters posts by your target roles, locations, and keywords
  3. Skips any job it has already seen, using a spreadsheet as a record
  4. Logs every new match to the spreadsheet
  5. Sends a Telegram message with the job details and apply link
What you get

Job matches you hear about first

Job boards get checked around the clock, and you get a Telegram alert the instant a posting matches what you're looking for.

What you get

A running spreadsheet of matching jobs and instant Telegram alerts for each new one.

What you need

A Google account and a Telegram bot.

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.
