A text-based service can make updates easier to manage discreetly, but you should still control notification visibility on your phone.
A practical approach
Set the constraints of your search first, then create a routine that you can maintain alongside everything else in your life.

- Use realistic interview windows that do not require repeated workplace explanations.
- Ask service providers how they communicate and protect your contact details.
