What it does
This workflow watches a defined set of competitors' public job boards and flags the strategic signal that matters most: the appearance of a *brand-new* role category. When a competitor that has only ever hired sales and support suddenly posts three machine-learning roles, that is a bet you want to know about the day it happens, not a quarter later.
When to use it
Run it when you maintain a competitor watchlist and want an early warning on strategic pivots: a new product line, a geographic expansion, a move upmarket. It is best for teams who already track competitors loosely and want the noise filtered down to genuine net-new signals.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule fires the run.
- 2Apify scrapes each tracked competitor's careers page and returns current open postings.
- 3A logic step normalizes titles and clusters them into role categories (engineering, GTM, ops, ML, etc.).
- 4It compares this week's categories against the per-competitor baseline stored in Airtable.
- 5A branch keeps only categories that are net-new for that competitor.
- 6Airtable is updated so the new category becomes part of the baseline.
- 7Slack delivers a digest naming the competitor, the new category, and the specific postings.
