The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on which companies are hiring, and for what, means checking LinkedIn job pages one by one every week. That kind of manual research is easy to let slide when things get busy.

Who it fits

An HR, recruiting, or competitive intelligence team tracking hiring activity at target companies.

How it works

  1. Every Monday morning, the system reads your list of target companies
  2. It runs a LinkedIn job scrape for each pending company
  3. It waits for the scrape to finish, then pulls in the results
  4. Job titles, descriptions, locations, and posting dates are cleaned up
  5. The formatted results are added to a Google Sheet
What you get

What you get

A weekly, organized Google Sheet of competitors' job postings.

What you need

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
