Reddit Job Alerts: r/forhire and Remote Job Posts
Get a push when someone on r/forhire posts a [Hiring] job in your field. Filter out people offering services and get to the client first.
Short answer: on r/forhire, the first good reply usually wins. Create an AyeWatch Search in subreddit monitor for r/forhire with your skill in the query, and filter to "posts from people hiring, not people offering services". You get a push for each new [Hiring] post in your field.
Set it up
- Open Create a monitor → Reddit and choose Search in subreddit.
- Paste
https://www.reddit.com/r/forhire/. - Search:
hiring designer. Use your skill: developer, editor, writer, video. - In Only alert me about, write "posts from people hiring a designer, not people offering services".
- Pick Hourly and click Create monitor.
Other subreddits with job posts
- r/slavelabour and r/HireaWriter for small gigs.
- r/remotejs and r/remotework for remote roles.
- r/jobbit and city subreddits for local jobs.
What you get
The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.
