Automated We Work Remotely Applicant Sync
Every night, WebRun opens We Work Remotely, checks your active listing for new applicants, adds each one to an Airtable pipeline with their resume link and applied date, and updates a Notion hiring doc so the team always sees an accurate applicant count per role.
How do I keep track of new We Work Remotely applicants automatically?
WebRun checks We Work Remotely every night for new applicants to your active listings, adds each one to an Airtable pipeline with their resume link and applied date, and updates a Notion hiring doc with the current applicant count per role. It never contacts a candidate itself, so outreach always stays a deliberate step your team takes.
- Every applicant lands in the pipeline the same night they apply
- No listing sits without applicants unnoticed for a week
- The hiring team works from one synced record instead of the inbox

Questions, answered
Does WebRun reply to applicants on We Work Remotely?
No. It only reads new applications and logs them. Reaching out to a candidate stays a manual step your hiring team takes from Airtable or your inbox.
What if the same person applies to two roles?
Each application gets its own Airtable record tied to the role it was submitted for, so nothing gets merged incorrectly.
How do we spot a listing that isn't getting applicants?
The Notion hiring doc flags any role with no new applicants in 7 days, so a stale listing gets noticed instead of quietly sitting there.
