Questions, answered
Does it pause or close a posting during a spike?
No. WebRun only tracks and alerts. Pausing, closing, or editing a posting is still done by you in CareerBuilder.
What counts as a spike?
A role receiving applications well above its normal hourly pace, often a sign of a viral share or a bulk-apply source worth reviewing.
Do I need to watch Slack all day?
No. The Slack digest builds a running record you can check anytime, while Telegram is reserved for spikes that need faster attention.
