Competitor hiring signal monitor
Auto-scrape competitor job pages every Monday and decode what their hiring says about their next move
- Problem
- Small business owners and analysts watch competitor pricing and content, but almost nobody watches hiring. Yet hiring is the earliest signal: three sales roles plus a partnerships lead means a distribution push; a compliance hire means entering a regulated market. By the time it's announced, you're months late.
- Solution
- Users add competitor job page URLs and keywords. The system scrapes weekly, diffs added and removed roles, groups them by function, and emails a short interpreted summary. The value isn't scraping—it's translating job changes into 'what they might be doing next.'
- Users
- Small business owners, B2B salespeople, market analysts, and early-stage investors tracking 5–20 competitors without an intelligence budget.
- MVP
- Add competitor job page URLs; scheduled weekly scrape and diff of job lists; group by function; generate a short AI interpretation email; pause/delete monitors.
- Revenue
- Monthly subscription tiered by number of monitored companies (e.g., $19/mo for 5, $49/mo for 20).
- Why now
- Job pages are public and structured enough to scrape cheaply, and willingness to pay for competitive intelligence is rising. An indie dev needs no license or large operation—just reliable scheduled jobs and good summaries.
