The problem it solves

Job seekers land on your listings and click apply, only to hit a broken link or a page that no longer exists. Without someone manually testing every URL, dead listings sit live for weeks, quietly damaging trust in your platform.

Who it fits

Job boards, career platforms, or internal hiring trackers that store listings in a database and want broken links removed automatically.

How it works

  1. The workflow runs automatically every few days
  2. Every active job listing is pulled from the database
  3. Each application link is checked for errors, dead pages, or silent redirects
  4. Any broken listing is marked inactive in both the database and the spreadsheet
What you get

Job listings that never point to a dead page

Every job posting on your site stays live and working, with broken application links caught and marked inactive automatically.

What you get

A job listings database and spreadsheet with dead application links automatically deactivated.

What you need

A Postgres or Supabase database and a Google Sheets account.

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.
