Weekly competitor hiring-signal digest from job posts
Scrapes a watchlist of competitors' careers pages every week, classifies each open role into a strategic theme.

What it does
Turns raw job postings into a strategic read on competitors. Each week it pulls every open role from a list of rival careers pages, infers the business bet behind each hire (new product line, market expansion, infra rebuild, GTM push), and delivers a ranked digest to your team channel.
When to use it
When you track a handful of named competitors and want an early-warning read on their roadmap without manually checking careers pages. Hiring is a leading indicator: a wave of payments engineers or a first GTM hire in a new region signals a bet months before launch.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule fires the run.
- 2Apify crawls each competitor's careers page and returns structured job listings (title, team, location, description).
- 3OpenAI classifies each role into a strategic theme and scores its signal strength.
- 4A logic step groups roles by competitor and theme, flagging net-new themes versus last week.
- 5Airtable stores the full role-level dataset for trend history.
- 6Slack posts the digest: top bets per competitor, with the supporting hires linked.
