In short

How do I build a weekly candidate shortlist for my open roles?

WebRun builds your sourcing shortlist every Monday. It runs the saved candidate searches behind each open JobsDB role, reads titles, locations, and work history, ranks new profiles into a shortlist in Airtable, and sends the recruiter the week's highlights on WhatsApp for them to approach.

  • Every open role starts Monday with a named shortlist
  • Candidates already in the pipeline are filtered out automatically
  • No candidate is contacted until a recruiter writes the message

Questions, answered

Will it contact candidates?

No. WebRun reads profiles and builds a shortlist. The WhatsApp message goes to your recruiter only, so every approach to a candidate is written and sent by a person.

How does it avoid showing the same people every week?

It checks each match against your Airtable sourcing base and drops anyone already in the pipeline or approached recently, so the weekly shortlist is people you have not worked yet.

What decides the ranking?

The requirements you keep on each role record in Airtable, such as job title, location, and years of experience. WebRun ranks the search results against those, and a recruiter makes the call.

Put this on autopilot.
