MARKET RESEARCH
Geographic Expansion Watch
Monitors competitor postings for new office locations and countries, and fires a real-time Slack alert plus a logged record the moment a rival starts hiring in a market they were…

What it does
It watches the location field across competitor job postings and detects when a company begins hiring in a city, state, or country where it had no prior openings. A first posting in Singapore or a new 'Remote - Germany' role is a strong tell that a rival is opening a market.
When to use it
Reach for this when geographic expansion is the competitive axis you care about. Sales leaders, corp-dev, and international GTM teams use it to catch market entries weeks before a press release.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule trigger starts the run.
- 2Apify scrapes postings and extracts the location from each role.
- 3The flow compares the set of active locations per competitor against the known-locations table in Airtable.
- 4A branch isolates locations that are genuinely new for that company.
- 5New markets are written to Airtable so they are not re-alerted.
- 6A formatted alert naming the competitor, market, and the roles involved posts to Slack for immediate triage.
