# ats-hiring-velocity (`borisinc/my-actor`) Actor

Turn public ATS boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) into a hiring-intent signal, not a raw job dump. See what opened/closed, net hiring velocity, a 30-day trend, and new roles tagged by seniority and function. Spot expanding companies before competitors. Public data, no PII.

## 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.md):

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

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

# README

## ATS Hiring Velocity & Signal Feed

**Turn public job boards into a hiring-intent signal — not another raw job scraper.**

This Actor tracks companies' **Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby** job boards and tells you what actually matters: what roles **opened**, what **closed**, the net hiring direction, a rolling **30-day velocity trend**, and every new role tagged by **seniority** and **function**.

Companies expanding a team are actively buying tools, services, and headcount — and job postings are the most honest growth signal a company emits. Catch them first.

> A company that raises its open postings 30%+ in a quarter is ~2.4x likelier to buy new software the next quarter (LinkedIn Economic Graph). This Actor surfaces exactly that signal — the delta, not a raw dump.

### What you get

For every company, every run:

- `open_count`, `opened`, `closed`, `net_change`, `velocity_pct`
- a rolling `hiring_signal` label: **strong_expansion → expanding → steady → cooling → contracting**
- 30-day trend: `opened_30d`, `closed_30d`, `net_change_30d`, `velocity_pct_30d`
- `new_by_function` and `new_by_seniority` breakdowns
- (optional) one row per **new** role, tagged with **seniority** and **function**

### Who it's for

- **B2B sales / RevOps** — spot accounts scaling a team (Engineering, Sales, Data…) and reach out before your competitors do
- **Recruiters & staffing** — companies opening lots of roles in your niche are warm leads
- **Investors / market intel** — track portfolio and competitor hiring velocity over time

### Sources

Public JSON board feeds — **Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby** (Workable best-effort). No login, no CAPTCHAs, no personal data.

### Input

Provide companies as `<ats>:<token>`, where the token is the board slug in the company's careers URL (`boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab` → `greenhouse:gitlab`):

```json
{
  "companies": ["greenhouse:stripe", "ashby:openai", "lever:spotify"],
  "emitJobRecords": true,
  "classifier": "heuristic"
}
````

Comes **pre-filled with a dozen high-growth tech companies** so you can run it immediately. Optional `classifier: "llm"` uses any OpenAI-compatible endpoint for messy titles.

### Output example

```json
{
  "company": "stripe",
  "ats": "greenhouse",
  "open_count": 497,
  "opened": 12, "closed": 4, "net_change": 8, "velocity_pct": 1.6,
  "velocity_pct_30d": 21.4, "hiring_signal": "expanding",
  "new_by_function": { "Engineering": 6, "Sales": 3, "Product": 2 },
  "new_by_seniority": { "senior": 5, "mid": 4, "staff": 2 }
}
```

Velocity accumulates across scheduled runs: the first run sets a baseline (no false spike), and every run after tracks what changed. **Schedule it daily or weekly** to build a live hiring-intent feed.

### Why this, not a raw job scraper

Everyone ships the current job list. This ships the **change** — opened/closed deltas, a velocity trend, and seniority/function tags — which is the layer intent-data vendors charge $15–50k/yr for. It's also low-maintenance by design: stable public JSON APIs, no headless browser, no anti-bot arms race.

### Notes

- **Public data only, no PII** — reads public job-board listings, never personal information.
- **Near-zero maintenance** — stable JSON board APIs.
- Point it at any companies you care about, or run the built-in high-growth seed as-is.

# Actor input Schema

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

One entry per company as '<ats>:<token>'. Supported ats: greenhouse, lever, ashby, workable. The token is the board slug in the company's careers URL (boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab -> 'greenhouse:gitlab').

## `emitJobRecords` (type: `boolean`):

Also output one row per NEW requisition (with seniority + function tags), not just the per-company summary.

## `classifier` (type: `string`):

heuristic = zero-cost regex (default). llm = OpenAI-compatible endpoint for messy titles (works with a local vLLM server).

## `velocityWindowDays` (type: `integer`):

Window for the rolling opened/closed/net trend across scheduled runs.

## `llmBaseUrl` (type: `string`):

OpenAI-compatible base, e.g. https://api.openai.com/v1 . Only used when Tagging mode = llm.

## `llmModel` (type: `string`):

e.g. gpt-4o-mini or a local model name. Only used when Tagging mode = llm.

## `llmApiKey` (type: `string`):

Bearer token for the LLM endpoint (blank for a keyless local server).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "greenhouse:stripe",
    "ashby:openai"
  ],
  "emitJobRecords": true,
  "classifier": "heuristic",
  "velocityWindowDays": 30
}
```
