Opportunity Radar

Job seekers see roles only after they're posted, after every other applicant has too.

LinkedIn shows "over 100 people clicked apply" before you've even opened the posting.

Built for my own job search, to reach the right person before the applicant queue forms.

Hiring momentum leaves a trail across public signals: news, community activity, funding, exec hires.

That trail can be tracked and scored automatically, well before a role is ever posted.

No formal study. The research was already sitting in plain sight.

That signal alone was enough to validate the problem before any code was written.

No design tool, no mockups. This one started as an idea and went straight to a working pipeline.

An n8n workflow pulls and normalizes signals from eight sources, writes the results to Google Sheets.

A leaderboard ranked by weighted opportunity index, a company inspector panel with momentum trends and suggested contacts, and a per-company detail view breaking down exactly how each score was calculated, so the ranking is legible, not a black box.

Three weeks after the original build shipped, three more pieces got added:

Fit (a judgment agent — is this company worth pursuing)

Interview Prep (real, grounded prep once you're actually talking to someone)

Close (scoped but not built, negotiation prep once an offer exists).

Today: two columns, not four. A ranked list and a company's real detail — signal, contacts, and a fit verdict when you've asked for one — no job postings involved anywhere in it.

Live and in use: it's surfaced real companies with rising hiring momentum and the people at each one worth reaching out to directly.

The live dashboard itself surfaces real suggested contacts at each tracked company, so it isn't posted publicly. Get in touch for a walkthrough.
