The problem it solves

Searching for the right job openings means checking multiple sites every day and manually copying the good ones into a list. It's repetitive and easy to fall behind on.

Who it fits

Recruiters, job seekers, or staffing agencies tracking openings for specific roles and locations.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system reads a pending search request from a spreadsheet
  2. It searches for job listings matching that position and location
  3. Irrelevant or empty results are filtered out
  4. Clean job listings are added to an output spreadsheet
  5. The original request is marked as complete so it isn't processed again
What you get

Matching job listings ready to review

You get a clean, filtered list of new job openings that match your criteria added straight to your spreadsheet.

What you get

A spreadsheet of matching job listings, kept free of duplicates.

What you need

A JSearch API subscription 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.
