Scheduled search
Also called saved search, job alert.
A saved set of search criteria that runs on a schedule and reports only what's new since the last run.
A scheduled search inverts the daily browsing habit. Instead of visiting five sites and re-reading the same listings you already dismissed, the criteria run themselves and you get the delta. The time saved is real, but the bigger gain is that you stop dismissing the same posting five times.
Speed matters more than most people expect. Response rates are meaningfully higher in a posting's first days, because that's when the pile is small enough for a recruiter to read every application. A search that runs each morning gets you into that window; browsing when you happen to have an hour usually doesn't.
The criteria are worth revisiting every couple of weeks. A search that returns nothing new for days is too narrow, and one that returns forty results a day is a filter you'll start ignoring — which is the same as not having it.
