## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## ATS Hiring-Intent Lead Finder 📈

**Turn a list of companies into ranked, hiring-intent sales & recruiting leads.**

For each company you provide, this Actor pulls the **current open roles** straight
from the company's **official, keyless public ATS API** — Greenhouse, Lever, or
Ashby — then computes a **hiring-intent score** and plain-English **buying signals**
from the role mix (e.g. *"79 Sales roles open — active GTM / revenue expansion"*).
Add a `domain` and it also enriches the hiring company with **verified business
contacts** (MX/DNS-validated emails, phones, socials, tech stack) so each result is
a ready-to-use lead.

- ✅ **No API keys, no login, no residential proxy** — these are the ATS platforms' own public JSON endpoints, so there's no anti-bot fight and no upstream scraping cost.
- ✅ **Three ATS providers**, auto-detected: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby.
- ✅ **Hiring-intent scoring (0–100 + A–D grade)** with human-readable buying signals.
- ✅ **Optional verified-contact enrichment** of the hiring company (reuses our verified-email engine).
- ✅ **Clean, normalized, deduped output.** Charged **per successful company** (one that actually returns open roles).

---

### What you give it

A `companies` array. Each item can be any of:

| Form | Example |
|---|---|
| `provider:slug` string | `"lever:spotify"`, `"ashby:ramp"` |
| Careers-board URL | `"https://jobs.lever.co/spotify"` |
| Bare slug (all providers tried) | `"stripe"` |
| Object (recommended — enables contact enrichment) | `{"provider":"greenhouse","slug":"stripe","domain":"stripe.com"}` |

**Finding a company's ATS slug:** it's in their careers-page URL — e.g.
`boards.greenhouse.io/`**`stripe`**, `jobs.lever.co/`**`spotify`**,
`jobs.ashbyhq.com/`**`ramp`**.

#### Optional inputs
- `functionFilter` — only return roles in these functions (e.g. `["Sales","Marketing"]`).
- `enrichContacts` (default `true`) — fetch verified contacts when a `domain` is given.
- `verifyEmails` (default `true`) — MX/DNS-validate the best email.
- `concurrency` (1–10, default 5).

### Real-run sample (verified live, 2026-07-10)

Input:
```json
{ "companies": [
  { "provider": "greenhouse", "slug": "stripe", "domain": "stripe.com" }
] }
````

Output (one record per company):

```json
{
  "company": "stripe",
  "atsProvider": "greenhouse",
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "totalOpenRoles": 509,
  "openRolesByFunction": {
    "Engineering": 118, "Sales": 79, "Data/AI": 18,
    "Marketing": 37, "Customer Success": 44, "Other": 96, "...": "..."
  },
  "hiringIntentScore": 100,
  "hiringIntentGrade": "A",
  "signals": [
    "79 Sales roles open — active GTM / revenue expansion",
    "37 Marketing roles open — demand-gen investment",
    "136 Engineering/Data roles open — scaling product & headcount",
    "509 total openings — high-growth / well-funded signal"
  ],
  "leadGrade": "A",
  "contacts": {
    "emails": ["press@stripe.com"],
    "emailVerified": true,
    "phones": [],
    "socials": { "twitter": "https://twitter.com/stripe", "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/stripe" },
    "techStack": ["Cloudflare", "React", "Google Analytics"]
  },
  "openRoles": [
    { "provider": "greenhouse", "companySlug": "stripe", "jobId": "7954688",
      "title": "Account Executive, AI Sales (Grower)", "department": "Sales",
      "function": "Sales", "location": "San Francisco, CA", "remote": false,
      "url": "https://stripe.com/jobs/search?gh_jid=7954688",
      "updatedAt": "2026-06-26T17:05:44-04:00" }
  ]
}
```

> The `contacts` block is illustrative of the enrichment shape; exact values depend
> on what each company publishes on its own site at run time. The ATS role data
> (counts, titles, functions, signals) is pulled live from the official board.

**Also verified live the same day:** `lever:spotify` → 103 open roles, intent A;
`ashby:ramp` → 126 open roles, intent A. All three providers returned clean,
non-empty data.

### Output schema (per company)

| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `company` | string | ATS slug you supplied |
| `atsProvider` | string | `greenhouse` | `lever` | `ashby` (auto-detected) |
| `domain` | string | null | domain you supplied (for enrichment) |
| `totalOpenRoles` | int | number of currently open, listed roles |
| `openRolesByFunction` | object | role counts by business function |
| `hiringIntentScore` | int (0–100) | volume + weighted GTM/eng expansion signals |
| `hiringIntentGrade` | `A`–`D` | banded intent |
| `signals` | string\[] | plain-English buying signals |
| `contacts` | object | null | verified emails, phones, socials, tech stack |
| `leadGrade` | `A`–`D` | intent blended with contact reachability |
| `openRoles` | object\[] | normalized roles (title, department, function, location, remote, url, updatedAt) |

Only companies that return **at least one open role** are pushed and billed.

***

### Pricing

**Pay per result** — you're charged only for companies that actually return hiring data.

| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Hiring-Intent Lead (primary) | **$0.008** | once per company with ≥1 open role + intent score |
| Contact-Enriched Lead | $0.004 | when the company is also enriched with ≥1 verified email |
| Actor start | $0.0001 | one-time per run |

No upstream scraping/compose cost — direct calls to official public ATS APIs, so
the primary event sits comfortably above per-run compute.

***

### Why this beats the alternatives

Existing "multi-ATS job scraper" actors are tiny and unrated, and they stop at a raw
job feed. This Actor is the only one that **turns those postings into a scored,
contact-enriched lead** — hiring-intent signals + verified contacts of the hiring
company, clean and deduped, at one transparent per-success price. MCP-ready for
agent workflows ("who's hiring for Sales right now, with a way to reach them").

### Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Cause / fix |
|---|---|
| `No open roles found for X` | Wrong slug or the company isn't on that ATS. Check their careers URL for the exact slug, or pass `provider:slug`. Some companies migrate between ATS platforms. |
| Empty `contacts` | No `domain` supplied, or the site blocked a plain fetch. Contacts are best-effort and never block the lead. |
| Fewer roles than the careers page shows | We return **listed, public** roles only (Ashby `isListed`, Lever public postings). |
| Lever returns "Document not found" | That company isn't on Lever (or changed slug); try a bare slug to auto-detect the provider. |

### Data source & compliance

Data comes exclusively from the ATS providers' **own official public job-board APIs**
(Greenhouse `boards-api`, Lever `postings` API, Ashby `posting-api`) — the same
endpoints that power the companies' public careers pages. No login, no scraping of
gated content.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Each item can be: a bare ATS slug ('stripe'), a 'provider:slug' ('lever:spotify', 'ashby:ramp'), a careers-board URL ('https://jobs.lever.co/spotify'), or an object {"provider":"greenhouse","slug":"stripe","domain":"stripe.com"}. Include a 'domain' to also get verified contacts for that company.

## `functionFilter` (type: `array`):

Only return roles matching these business functions/keywords (e.g. 'Sales', 'Engineering', 'Marketing'). Leave empty for all roles.

## `enrichContacts` (type: `boolean`):

When a company includes a 'domain', fetch its own public site for verified emails, phones, socials, and tech stack. Adds ~2s per company.

## `verifyEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Validate the best email's domain against live MX/DNS records.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many companies to process in parallel (1–10).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. ATS endpoints are public APIs, so a proxy is usually NOT needed. Use a datacenter proxy only if you hit rate limits.

{
  "companies": [
    {
      "provider": "greenhouse",
