## Key takeaways

- LinkedIn and Indeed send job alerts daily or weekly based on your saved search terms.
- AyeWatch watches any public careers page or a plain-English role description and alerts by push on every plan, with paid plans from $9 a month plus a free preview.
- Board alerts stay useful for finding employers you do not know yet; a careers page monitor is for the companies already on your list.

Job posting alerts tell you when a role that fits you goes live, so you hear about it without refreshing job boards all day. The quickest setup pairs the alerts LinkedIn and Indeed already offer with [AyeWatch](https://ayewatch.ai) watching the careers pages of the employers you care about most.

This guide walks through both layers, what each one catches, and how to keep the noise down.

## What job boards already give you

Most people start with board alerts, and they are worth having. Here is what each provider's help pages describe.

| Tool | How you set it up | How often it tells you |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AyeWatch | Paste a careers page or describe the role in plain English | Push and in-app feed on every plan; email, Slack and more on paid plans |
| LinkedIn | Save a job search as an alert | Daily or weekly, by email, app notification or both |
| Indeed | Search by title, keyword or company and a location, then activate | Daily or weekly emails, skipped when nothing new matches |

Board alerts work from your saved search terms. That is fine for broad searches like "data analyst, Chicago". It is weaker when the job you want uses a title you did not think to type, or when an employer posts mostly on its own site.

## Why careers pages need their own alert

Most companies list their openings on their own careers page, and not every opening reaches every job board. A board alert only sees what reaches that board. If you have a short list of companies you would drop everything for, watching their pages directly closes that gap.

AyeWatch is built for this. Its home page lists public job postings as a core use: paste the careers page URL, and it tells you when a meaningful detail changes, with a short summary of what is new. You do not need to write selectors or code.

## Set up job posting alerts in AyeWatch

1. **Collect your target list.** Pick the companies you would apply to the same day. Open each careers page, filter it to your team or location if the site allows, and copy the link.
2. **Create a page monitor for each one.** Paste the link. AyeWatch watches that page from then on.
3. **Say what counts.** Add a condition in your own words, such as "Tell me about new product design roles open to people in Europe. Ignore internships." This keeps the alerts to roles you would actually open.
4. **Add a topic for the wider market.** A topic like "new senior backend roles at fintech startups, remote" follows a description rather than a single page.
5. **Choose where alerts land.** Push notifications and the in-app feed come with every plan, on web, iOS and Android. Paid plans add email, Slack, Discord and webhooks.

Pick a schedule that your plan allows. Paid plans also offer Auto, which lets AyeWatch choose the pace for each topic.

## Keep the alerts useful

- **Be specific in the rule.** Name the level, the team and any location limits. Vague rules bring vague alerts.
- **Prune weekly.** Pause monitors for companies you no longer want. You can edit or pause a topic any time.
- **Keep board alerts on.** LinkedIn and Indeed cover the employers you have not heard of yet. AyeWatch covers the ones you have.

## What it costs

AyeWatch has a free preview with no credit card, and paid plans start at $9 a month, billed in monitoring credits. The [pricing page](https://ayewatch.ai/pricing) lists the tiers. If you only search broad titles across many unknown employers, the free board alerts may be all you need.

## When something lands

An alert only helps if you can act on it. Keep a current resume and a cover letter template you can adapt in minutes, so a new posting turns into an application the same day. The AyeWatch team covers this habit in its post on [applying before the crowd](https://ayewatch.ai/blog/job-seekers-ai-monitoring-apply-first).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can AyeWatch watch any company's careers page?

It watches public pages you paste in. If the job list loads at its own link, you can monitor it and describe which roles you want to hear about.

### Do I need a paid plan for job alerts in AyeWatch?

No. Push notifications and the in-app feed work on every plan, including the free preview. Paid plans add email, Slack, Discord and webhooks.

### How often do LinkedIn and Indeed send job alerts?

Both let you pick daily or weekly. LinkedIn can notify you by email, in the app or both; Indeed sends email and skips days with no new matches.
