Automated Indeed Applicant Triage

Every morning, WebRun signs into your Indeed employer account, opens each active job, captures the applicants who arrived since the last run with their headline experience and screening answers, writes one row per candidate into Google Sheets, and updates the Notion hiring board so every role shows its live pipeline.

In short

How do I triage new Indeed applicants every morning?

WebRun signs into your Indeed employer account each morning, opens every active job, and captures the applicants who arrived overnight with their screening answers. It logs one row per candidate to Google Sheets, marks who meets your must-haves, and updates the Notion hiring board so each role shows its live pipeline.

  • Overnight applicants are triaged before the first coffee
  • Candidates meeting every must-have sit at the top of the list
  • Roles going quiet get flagged so the advert can be refreshed

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message or reject candidates?

No. WebRun never messages, schedules, rejects, or advances a candidate on Indeed. It reads the applications and writes them to your sheet and board for a human to decide on.

How does it decide who is ready for review?

It compares each applicant's screening question answers against the must-haves you define for that role, for example a licence, a location, or a right to work answer.

Does it store candidate personal data?

It records only what you ask for, typically name, role, applied date, screening result, and the Indeed profile link, into your own Google Sheet and Notion workspace.

Put this on autopilot.
