MARKET RESEARCH
Geographic-Expansion Watch
Monitors the job locations a competitor is hiring for, detects new cities or countries appearing in postings, and emails an expansion alert with the roles driving it.

What it does
Where a company hires reveals where it is expanding. This workflow scrapes a competitor's open roles, extracts every location, and compares the location set against what you have recorded. When a new metro or country shows up — especially paired with sales, ops, or GM roles — it flags a likely market entry and tells you which postings triggered it.
When to use it
Use it when geographic moves matter to your planning: a rival opening its first EU office, pushing into a new US region, or standing up a local team ahead of a launch. Ideal for go-to-market and corp-dev teams tracking territorial overlap.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule fires the run.
- 2Apify scrapes the competitor's open roles with location fields.
- 3The pipeline loads the known-locations baseline from Airtable.
- 4A logic step diffs locations and isolates any new city or country.
- 5For each new location, it groups the driving roles and OpenAI judges whether the mix signals a real market entry versus a remote hire.
- 6New locations are saved to the baseline, and an expansion alert email is sent via Gmail.
