Hiring Signals Monitor — Track Job Posting Changes, Hiring Surges & Freezes

Monitor any company's hiring activity and get signals, not just listings. This job posting tracker reads career boards through native ATS APIs — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, and SmartRecruiters — then diffs each run against the last snapshot to detect:

• 🚀 HIRING_SURGE — headcount expansion (new-role velocity ≥20%)
• 🧊 HIRING_FREEZE — postings pulled (≥25% drop or board emptied)
• 🆕 NEW_ROLES — every new job since your last check, with title, location & URL
• ✅ STABLE / BASELINE — first-run snapshot and steady state

Why this beats HTML job scrapers

Most job scrapers parse careers-page HTML, which breaks constantly and returns messy data. This monitor calls the same JSON APIs the job boards themselves use — structured, reliable, no proxies, near-zero failure rate. Give it a careers URL, or just a company website and it auto-detects the ATS.

Who uses hiring signals

• B2B sales: a hiring surge in a department is a buying signal — reach out before competitors.
• Recruiters & sourcing: spot expanding teams and new req volume across your target accounts.
• Investors & analysts: hiring freezes often precede public news by weeks.
• Job seekers: get alerted the moment target companies post new roles.
• Competitive intel: watch what functions competitors are staffing.
