The problem it solves

Manually refreshing Upwork to catch new job posts before other freelancers do is exhausting and easy to fall behind on. You either miss good opportunities or waste time scrolling through listings you have already seen.

Who it fits

Freelancers or recruiters who need to catch new Upwork postings the moment they go live.

How it works

  1. Runs every 20 minutes during working hours
  2. Searches Upwork for job postings matching your keywords
  3. Checks a database to filter out jobs you have already seen
  4. Saves only the new listings
  5. Sends a Slack message with details for each new job
What you get

Job leads you never had before

You find out about matching Upwork job postings the moment they go live, without watching feeds all day.

What you get

A Slack alert with details for each new, unseen Upwork job matching your keywords.

What you need

An Apify subscription for Upwork data, a MongoDB database, 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.
