The problem it solves

If you're watching the job market for hiring trends, sales leads, or your own job search, refreshing listings pages and copying details by hand eats up your day. Postings disappear fast, and you're always a step behind.

Who it fits

A recruiter, sales rep, job seeker, or analyst tracking job postings for leads or trends.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system searches job listings for your chosen role or keyword
  2. Job details like title, company, location, and salary are pulled and cleaned up
  3. New listings are added to a spreadsheet
  4. A Slack message confirms when new jobs are found
What you get

New job listings that match your search

Fresh job postings matching your criteria land in Slack and a spreadsheet as soon as they appear.

What you get

An organized spreadsheet of job listings and a Slack alert whenever new ones appear.

What you need

A web scraping API account, a Google Sheets account, 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.
