Automated Reed Daily Application Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens Reed.co.uk, finds every application received since yesterday, saves each CV to a dated Google Drive folder, and posts a short Slack summary listing who applied and to which role.

In short

How do I get a daily summary of new Reed applicants?

WebRun checks Reed.co.uk every morning for applications received since the day before. It saves each candidate's CV to an organized Google Drive folder and posts a Slack summary naming every applicant and their role, so your hiring team starts the day with a complete, organized view of new candidates without opening Reed directly.

  • Every CV is saved and organized before your team logs in
  • Slack shows who applied without opening Reed
  • No overnight application goes unnoticed

Questions, answered

Will it reply to candidates on Reed?

No. WebRun only reads and organizes applications. Any response to a candidate is still written and sent by your team from Reed.

Where do I find a candidate's CV afterward?

Every CV is saved to a dated Google Drive folder for its vacancy, and the Slack summary links straight to it.

What if nobody applied overnight?

The Slack summary simply notes there were no new applications, so you always know the digest ran even on a quiet day.

Put this on autopilot.
