A solution looking for a problem. Airtable job boards?

OK ok I know that's not the way to do things but this is more of a fun project.

It was a simple flow. Add jobs on your Airtable. Website automatically lists the job. People can then go in and apply and another table automatically fills with their data. Thought it would be a time saver for recruiters.

I quickly setup a proof of concept: https://youtu.be/TwHWVFGr3jo

The tech stack is Nextjs in the front end leveraging the Airtable API via serverless functions.

I hit a technical snag on uploading attachments like resume (can't do that directly with Airtable) but there is a way around it.

I'm curious how I can extend this or even build something different using this flow (ACTION -> AIRTABLE UPDATE -> TRIGGER NOTIFICATION).

What do you think? :)

    Well, if you want to search for the problem I'd go after recruiters that use Airtable and ask them their thoughts.
