In short

How do I get notified about strong Work at a Startup candidates fast?

WebRun checks Work at a Startup every hour for new candidate responses to your listing, saves each profile and resume to Google Drive, and posts a Slack alert to the founder when a candidate's background closely matches the role. It never messages candidates itself, so the first outreach always stays a deliberate choice your team makes.

  • Strong candidates get a same day Slack alert instead of sitting in a queue
  • Every candidate profile is archived in Drive automatically
  • Founders see who matches the role without opening Work at a Startup

Questions, answered

Does WebRun message the candidate back?

No. It only alerts the founder and archives the profile. Sending the first message on Work at a Startup always stays a manual step, since it is a direct message to the candidate.

How does it decide which candidates get flagged?

It compares the candidate's background against the criteria you set for the role and flags anyone who closely matches, so the strongest responses stand out.

What happens to candidates who don't match?

They still get saved to Drive with their profile, just without the extra Slack flag, so you can review them later without digging through Work at a Startup.
