In short

How do I turn saved Reed CV searches into a weekly candidate shortlist?

WebRun opens Reed every Monday and runs each of your saved CV searches, keeping only candidates whose CVs are new since last week. It shortlists them against the matching job ad, drafts an approach message per candidate in Twilio for your approval, and pings the shortlist to Telegram.

  • Hard roles get sourced instead of waiting on applicants
  • Only CVs new since last week reach the shortlist
  • No candidate is contacted before a recruiter approves the message

Questions, answered

Will it contact candidates without me?

No. Every approach message is queued in Twilio unsent and waits for you to release it, so no candidate hears from your agency until a recruiter has read the wording.

Does it post a job ad or change my listings?

No. WebRun only runs your saved CV searches and adds matches to a candidate list. Publishing, editing, or closing a job ad stays a human action in Reed.

How does it avoid showing me the same CVs twice?

It keeps only CVs new or updated since the previous Monday, so each shortlist holds fresh candidates rather than repeating the same search results every week.

Put this on autopilot.
