Watch the company, not the job board.
Job boards get postings a week late. modsignal watches the careers pages of the companies you actually want and alerts you the day a matching role appears.
Get startedFigma posted a Senior Product Designer role, remote (US), on its careers page.
What modsignal extracts
- New openings
- Role requirements
- Remote policy
- Application deadlines
The problem
The best roles are filled from the first week of applicants, and job boards are where postings go after that week. The careers page is where they start. If you want a specific company — not "a job" — the board's daily digest of everything else is noise; the signal is one page, updating a few times a month.
The monitor
modsignal watches that page and tells you the day the right role appears. Describe what you're looking for in plain language: any senior design role, anything remote that mentions Rails, a first marketing hire.
The alert
The alert names the role and quotes the posting, so you can decide from your inbox whether tonight is a cover-letter night. The semantic tier reads postings the way you would — it won't ping you because the page reshuffled or an unrelated department grew.
In practice
Most people watch five to ten dream companies with daily checks. It costs nothing to be patient: monitors run for months, and the one alert that matters arrives the day the role opens, not the week it hits the boards.

Write the prompt, set the interval and get the first alert when something actually changes.
