By the end of this guide, you will be watching at least one company and have email notifications ready.

​
1. Create your account

1

Sign up

Open jobbeacon.app and click Get started. You can sign up with email or Google.
2

Check your email

JobBeacon sends email notifications to your account email unless you set a notification email override later.
The Free plan is enough to try JobBeacon with up to 5 companies. You can upgrade later from Settings.

​
2. Add your first company

You only need a URL.
1

Open the dashboard

From the app, click Add company.
2

Paste a careers URL

Use the company’s careers page or a direct job board URL.Examples:
  • https://vercel.com/careers
  • https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/acmecorp
  • https://jobs.lever.co/acmecorp
  • https://acmecorp.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Acme_Careers
3

Add optional filters

Add keywords and locations now, or leave them blank and edit them later.
4

Click Add company

JobBeacon detects the company and starts the first scan.
5

Wait for the scan

The first scan imports jobs already on the company board. These jobs are marked as seed jobs. They can appear in your dashboard, but they do not send email or webhook delivery.
If JobBeacon asks Is this the right company?, open the suggested career site, confirm the correct one, or choose None of these.

​
3. Review your dashboard

After the first scan, JobBeacon takes you to the company page. Use the company page to:
  • Review matching jobs
  • Open original job postings
  • Share jobs
  • Edit filters
  • Mute email for that company
Return to Dashboard to switch between Companies and Jobs views. See Dashboard for details.

​
4. Set useful filters

Filters are optional. Without filters, every active job at that company matches. For most companies, add at least one keyword or location.
1

Open the company page

Click the company from the dashboard.
2

Edit keywords

Keywords match the job title.Examples:
  • backend
  • infrastructure
  • product designer
  • senior
3

Edit locations

Locations match the job location field.Examples:
  • Remote
  • Berlin
  • New York
  • Taiwan
4

Choose any or all

Choose Any when one value is enough. Choose All when every value must match.
5

Save changes

Click Save in each filter section you change.
See Filters for examples and plan limits.

​
5. Confirm email notifications

1

Open Settings

Click your avatar, then click Settings.
2

Check Email Notifications

Make sure the main Email Notifications switch is active.
3

Check company switches

Confirm the companies you care about are active.
4

Set a notification email if needed

In Notification Email, enter an override if alerts should go somewhere other than your account email.
Free accounts receive at most one email per company per day. Pro accounts get immediate email when a matching job is found.

​
6. Optional: set up webhooks on Pro

If you want matched jobs sent to another tool, use Webhooks. Webhooks are Pro-only and separate from email notifications.
