Track job postings with Distill web monitor

Are you thinking about a job switch? Are you rummaging through job portals and earmarking newspapers? Dear reader, you are going about it all wrong. You need to look at a smarter way of keeping track of open positions in organizations that you aspire to work in.

In November 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics claimed that the average amount of time to find a job is 24 weeks. That’s a lot of time, and it must be well spent on searching for the right job, not sifting through endless web pages with sub-par filtering capabilities.

Use web monitors to keep track of job openings

A web monitor is a smart tool that can keep track of hundreds of web pages, in your case- job portals and career sections of websites. It will notify you when job profiles are updated, salary figures are changed, and help you get the most accurate and current data posted by an organization. Job data extraction and tracking come with a lot of perks.

What are some of the cool things that web monitors can do?

• They help you closely monitor job profiles based on keywords relevant to your skillset across several websites like Indeed, Monster, Naukri, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and Dice.
• Track hundreds of listings without hopping multiple tabs and websites. With web monitors, you can track job data changes across hundreds of web pages in real-time on a single dashboard
• You can set up monitors to track your dream company’s careers page to check for openings in your domain of expertise
• They keep track of application deadlines and notify you via email or SMS when recruiters change the requirements on the posting
• Collect and track parameters like salary, benefits, and employee score, and more on a web page. You can configure monitors to check against preset conditions and to notify you only if the job posts meet your criteria.

Well, the list goes on and on. By now you’ve realized that web monitors are a trusted ally when it comes to the daunting task of job hunting.

Subscribing to career portal notifications may make sense, but are you ready to sift through your cluttered mailbox? It is not tailored to your career checklist, you don’t want to end up with a laundry list of emails sent out to thousands of applicants every day. You should choose a customized approach that minimizes the time you spend on shortlisting jobs.

With web monitors you get notified about relevant job openings, you get to track multiple websites and portals via a single dashboard. All this can be prescheduled at a customized frequency.
