GoHighLevel + API Automation Developer (Claude Code experience required) -for Trucking Recruiting

TITLE GoHighLevel + API Automation Developer (Claude Code experience required) — Trucking Recruiting Funnel Build OVERVIEW We run a CDL-A driver recruiting company. Applicants come in from Indeed and ZipRecruiter through Breezy HR, plus Tenstreet and Google Sheets from other sources. Today those leads get a call or two and nothing else. We need someone to wire every lead source into GoHighLevel, build the follow-up funnels, and then stay on as our go-to builder for the add-ons that come after: course sales, carrier-side offers, and partner monetization of a driver database that grows every week. This is a build-first, then ongoing engagement. The first project is well defined and spec'd. If it goes well there is steady follow-on work. PHASE 1 (spec provided on hire) - Automated lead capture into GHL from three sources: Breezy HR (webhook or API), Tenstreet (via whatever method Tenstreet supports for your account tier — tell us what you've done before), and Google Sheets. Dedupe on phone, field mapping, source tagging. - A 14-day speed-to-lead follow-up workflow (SMS, email, voicemail drop) with engagement detection that routes replies to a recruiter round-robin with tasks and alerts. - A long-tail nurture workflow for unresponsive leads. - Pipeline, custom fields, tags, booking calendar, and a weekly reporting dashboard. - TCPA-aware: opt-out handling, send windows, local-presence numbers. FUTURE WORK (for the right person) - Funnels and automations to sell our online hazmat endorsement course to drivers in the database. - Carrier-side lead delivery and reporting. - Partner-offer campaigns (fuel cards, factoring, insurance) to owner-operators. - Custom integrations and small apps built with Claude Code where GHL native features aren't enough. REQUIRED - Deep, hands-on GoHighLevel experience: workflows, inbound webhooks, custom fields, pipelines, calendars, LC Phone/SMS, reporting. You should be able to describe a GHL build you did from webhook to pipeline without looking anything up. - API integration experience: REST, webhooks, auth, retries. Make.com or n8n for glue where appropriate. - Working, current experience with Claude Code as a development tool. We use it across our businesses and expect you to use it to build and document faster. Show us something you built with it. - Comfortable with JavaScript or Python for scripts, parsers, and custom endpoints. - Clear written English. You'll be writing specs, handoff docs, and message copy with us. NICE TO HAVE - Breezy HR or Tenstreet experience. You've pulled candidates out of either one via API, webhook, or export and pushed them somewhere else. Tenstreet in particular: if you know what their integration options look like for an agency account, say so. - Whop experience. You've built a product, membership, or app on Whop, ideally using the Whop CLI or MCP server with Claude Code. We're evaluating Whop for our course and driver-facing products. - Recruiting, staffing, or trucking industry work. You understand what a driver applicant funnel looks like, why speed-to-lead matters, and how carriers hire. CDL recruiting is a plus; any high-volume applicant work counts. - Twilio and SendGrid. Direct API experience outside of GHL's built-in messaging, including delivery tracking and compliance handling. - Thinkific or another LMS. You've set up course delivery, completion tracking, and certificates, or integrated an LMS with a CRM. - Postgres and basic data work. You can write queries, build a clean table from messy exports, and keep a database of tens of thousands of contacts usable. - TCPA and SMS compliance. You've registered 10DLC campaigns, handled opt-out logic, and built send-window rules. You know why cold texting a scraped list is a problem. - Reporting and dashboards. GHL native reporting, Looker Studio, or anything that turns pipeline data into a weekly number an owner can act on. - Voice or ringless voicemail tools. Experience with voicemail drops inside or alongside GHL. - Conversational AI. You've built or configured an SMS or chat agent (Voiceflow, Chatbase, custom Claude API) that qualifies leads before a human touches them. HOW WE WORK - Everything time-based lives in GHL wait steps, not in external tools. - Copy is approved before anything goes live. No emojis in any customer-facing content. - You document what you built and what you changed. A one-page handoff per deliverable. - Async first, with a short weekly check-in on Mountain Time. TO APPLY Keep it short. Answer these three things in your proposal: 1. Describe one GHL build you did that pulled leads from an outside system via webhook or API. What broke and how did you fix it? 2. Describe how you've used Claude Code in real work. Be specific. 3. Have you touched Breezy or Tenstreet? If not, how would you approach Tenstreet lead capture? Proposals that don't answer these three will be skipped. Please start your proposal with the word "Dispatch" so we know you read this. BUDGET Hourly: $8-$20 est. 30–50 hours for Phase 1], with ongoing hourly work after.
