In short

How do I keep track of new Braintrust applicants every day?

WebRun checks Braintrust every morning for new freelancer applications on your open roles. It saves each portfolio and proposal to Google Drive and posts a Slack digest naming every applicant and their rate, so your hiring team starts the day with an organized view of new talent without opening Braintrust directly.

  • Every applicant's portfolio is archived the same morning
  • Slack shows who applied without opening Braintrust
  • No new applicant goes unnoticed overnight

Questions, answered

Will it message Braintrust applicants?

No. WebRun only reads and organizes applications. Any reply to a freelancer is still sent by you directly in Braintrust.

Where do I see a candidate's full proposal?

Every applicant's portfolio and proposal is saved to Google Drive, and the Slack digest links straight to it.

What if a role gets no new applicants overnight?

The Slack digest simply notes there is nothing new for that role, so you always know the check ran.

Put this on autopilot.
