Key takeaways
- Company careers page alerts notify you when a specific employer adds a role to its own site, which board alerts do not watch.
- AyeWatch monitors any public careers page you paste and filters changes with a rule written in plain English; paid plans start at $9 a month, with a free preview.
- Without a list of target companies, LinkedIn or Indeed alerts are the better starting point.
Company careers page alerts are notifications that fire when a specific employer adds a job to its own careers page. The simplest way to get them is to paste each careers page into AyeWatch and tell it, in a sentence, which roles you care about.
Everyone in tech has a list. The three startups you follow on X, the lab you keep refreshing, the company where your old manager just landed. This piece explains how to stop checking those pages by hand.
Why the board alert is not enough
LinkedIn and Indeed both offer free job alerts, and you should keep yours. Their own help pages describe the same model: you save a search, and you get a digest, daily or weekly. LinkedIn can send it by email or in-app notification; Indeed sends email.
The catch is scope. A board alert sees what is posted on that board and matches it against the words you saved. When the target is one company, the most direct source is that company's own careers page. That is the page you want watched.
What a careers page monitor does
A page monitor loads the page on a schedule, compares it with the last version and tells you what changed. A basic one flags any change at all, including a new footer or a reordered list. An AI monitor reads the change and decides whether it matters to you.
AyeWatch works the second way. Its home page names careers sites directly: paste a URL and get told when a meaningful detail changes. You add the rule in your own words, and each alert arrives as a short summary of what is new.
Setting up your watchlist
Start with five to ten companies. More than that and you will start ignoring the alerts.
- Open each careers page and apply any filters the site offers, such as team or location. If the filtered view has its own link, copy that one.
- In AyeWatch, create a page monitor and paste the link.
- Write the rule. Something like: "New engineering roles at senior level or above, remote in the US or based in New York. Skip internships and sales."
- Choose where alerts go. Push and the in-app feed are on every plan, across web, iOS and Android. Paid plans add email, Slack, Discord and webhooks, which is handy if you run your job hunt from a private Slack or Discord channel.
For employers that announce roles in other places, a topic can follow a description instead of a page, for example "Company X hiring for its new applied research team".
What a good alert looks like
| Rule you write | What you hear about |
|---|---|
| "Any new job" | Every posting, including ones you will never apply to |
| "New backend roles" | Better, but includes junior and contract roles |
| "New senior backend or platform roles, remote friendly, full time" | Roughly the jobs you would open |
The more concrete the rule, the quieter and more useful the feed.
Costs and limits
AyeWatch has a free preview with no card and paid plans from $9 a month, billed in monitoring credits; the plans are listed here. Pages behind a login, or job lists that do not load at a shareable link, are harder for any monitor to follow, so check the link shows the jobs before you rely on it.
If you are early in a search and do not have target companies yet, board alerts are the better first step. Once the list exists, a careers page monitor is how you keep up with it.
The AyeWatch team wrote more about this approach in its guide for job seekers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get alerts when a company posts a new job?
Paste the company's careers page into a page monitor such as AyeWatch and describe the roles you want. You get a push alert with a summary when a matching job appears.
Does LinkedIn alert me about a specific company's jobs?
LinkedIn job alerts follow a saved search and arrive daily or weekly. They only include jobs posted on LinkedIn, not ones listed only on the company's own site.
