The problem it solves

Tracking competitor or market job postings by hand means checking sites manually and updating a tracker every week. It's easy to fall behind, and by the time you notice a new posting, the information is already stale.

Who it fits

A recruiting team or hiring manager who wants to monitor job postings without manual tracking.

How it works

  1. On a weekly schedule, the system scrapes job postings from the target source
  2. The listings are cleaned up and formatted consistently
  3. New postings are added to a Google Sheet
  4. A Slack notification is sent to let your team know the sheet has been updated
What you get

New job postings you never have to search for

You get a running spreadsheet of new job postings updated every week with a Slack ping when it's ready.

What you get

An up-to-date Google Sheet of job postings and a Slack alert whenever it changes.

What you need

An Apify account, Google Sheets, and a Slack workspace.

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.
