Built for founders, recruiters, sales teams, and consultants who want real-time hiring signals instead of static lead databases, this workflow turns job postings into actionable business intelligence. Benefits Real-Time Hiring Signals** Detect company growth, hiring urgency, and budget intent before announcements. Automated Lead Discovery** Identify companies actively hiring relevant roles, indicating readiness to buy services or tools. Zero Manual Work** Fully automated scraping, enrichment, and storage. De-duplicated Data** Prevents repeated job entries using job ID matching logic. Time-Based Insight** Automatically calculates how many days ago a job was posted. Flexible Output** Stored in Google Sheets for BI tools, CRMs, AI agents, or manual review.
