Hiring Changes Monitor: Opened & Closed Jobs by Company

Hiring Changes Monitor: Opened & Closed Jobs by Company

See which jobs a company opened and closed since your last run. Point it at company job boards on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters or Recruitee, schedule it, and get one summary row per company (open jobs, opened, closed, net change by department) plus one row per changed job. The first run already returns data: each company's current open jobs.

Price: $0.005 per company checked and $0.001 per changed job. You only pay for rows saved to your dataset. Set maxResults or your maximum cost per run to cap the spend.

What does it do?

• Reads each company's public job board through the board's public job-board API. No login, no cookies, nothing behind a sign-in.
• On the first run for a company it saves the list of open jobs as a baseline and also lists them: one current-job row per open job matching your filters, with changeType: "current". Current-job rows are free; you pay only the company check. Turn them off with currentJobsOnFirstRun: false.
• On every later run it compares the board with that baseline and saves:
  • one company row: open jobs, opened, closed, net change, opened/closed by department, days since the last check;
  • one job-change row per opened or closed job: title, department, location, workplace type, posted date, link, and a possibleRepost flag when a job with the same title and location closed and reopened under a new ID.
• Then it moves the baseline forward, so the next run shows only what's new. Later runs never repeat the current-job list.

Quick start

1. Click Try for free, keep the prefilled companies (Stripe, Spotify, OpenAI) and press Start. The first run saves baselines and lists each company's open jobs (up to Max job changes, 1,000 by default).
2. Run it again later (or schedule it daily) to see what opened and closed.
3. Or call it from code:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/clearpath-data~hiring-changes-monitor/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"companies": ["stripe", "https://jobs.lever.co/spotify"], "stateName": "my-watchlist"}'

Sample output: job changes

changeType	company	title	department	location
opened	Spotify	Art Director - Mexico	Markets and Subscriber Growth	Mexico City
opened	Spotify	Audiobook Licensing & Partnerships Manager - Japan	Business Team	Tokyo
opened	Spotify	AV Engineer - Platform	Engineering	Stockholm
opened	Spotify	Client Partner ANZ	Advertising	Sydney

Sample output: first run (current jobs)

changeType	company	title	department	location
current	Spotify	Art Director - Mexico	Markets and Subscriber Growth	Mexico City
current	Spotify	Artist & Label Partnerships Contractor, Vietnam	Content	Ho Chi Minh
current	Spotify	Artist Label Partnerships Manager, Taiwan	Markets and Subscriber Growth	Taiwan (Home Mix)
current	Spotify	Associate – Audiobook Licensing & Author Partnerships	Operations and Business Support	New York, NY
Real output of a local first run on 2026-10-20 (Spotify's public Lever board); the first rows by title.

Sample output: company summary

company	status	openJobs	opened	closed	netChange	daysSincePreviousCheck
Spotify	checked	82	17	14	+3	9.9

Real output of a test run on 2026-10-19, compared with Spotify's public Lever board as saved on 2026-10-09. Engineering had the most new roles (5).

Use cases

• Sales and recruiting agencies: spot companies that just opened roles in your niche (e.g. departments: ["Engineering"], locations: ["London"]).
• Investors and market research: track hiring velocity of a watchlist; net change by department shows where a company is growing or cutting.
• Competitive intelligence: see when a competitor opens a new team or closes a group of roles.
• Job seekers' tools: alert on new roles at target companies only, instead of re-reading whole boards.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
companies	array		Board slugs ("stripe"), prefixed slugs ("lever:spotify"), board URLs or careers-page URLs
ats	string	"auto"	Which ATS to try for plain slugs; "auto" tries them in turn
changeTypes	array	[] (both)	"opened", "closed"
keywords	array	[]	Only jobs whose title contains one of these
locations	array	[]	Only jobs whose location contains one of these
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Only remote jobs
departments	array	[]	Only jobs whose department or team contains one of these
stateName	string	"default"	Name of the saved baseline; use one per schedule or task
baselineDatasetId	string		Compare with an earlier run's dataset instead of the saved state
updateState	boolean	true	Move the baseline forward after a company's changes are all saved
currentJobsOnFirstRun	boolean	true	On a company's first check, also list its open jobs as free current rows
maxResults	integer	1000	Stop saving job rows after this many (0 = no limit); opened/closed rows first, first-check current rows use the room left
maxConcurrency	integer	3	Boards read in parallel (1 to 10)

Filters apply to both the baseline and today's board, so changing them between runs doesn't create false changes.

Integrations, schedules and AI agents

• Schedules: Schedule it daily or weekly with one stateName per watchlist. See Apify schedules.
• No-code tools: send results to Google Sheets, Slack or a CRM with Apify's Make, Zapier or n8n integrations, or a webhook when a run finishes.
• AI agents (MCP): connect an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor to https://mcp.apify.com?tools=clearpath-data/hiring-changes-monitor and the agent can run this Actor directly. See the Apify MCP server docs.

How much does it cost?

What	Price	Per 1,000
Company check (summary row)	$0.005	$5.00
Job opened or closed	$0.001	$1.00
Actor start (Apify standard)	$0.00005 per GB of memory, per run

Examples:

• The test above (Spotify, 17 opened + 14 closed): $0.005 + 31 × $0.001 = $0.036.
• A watchlist of 50 companies checked daily, with about 3 changes per company per day (estimate): 50 × $0.005 + 150 × $0.001 = $0.40 per day.
• The first run for each company costs only the company check. Its current open jobs are listed free, because there's nothing to compare yet.

Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify separately as usual.

Limits and honest notes

• Only public job boards on the six supported ATSs. No social networks and no sites that need a login. Companies whose careers page uses another system can't be monitored.
• "Closed" means the posting left the public board. It could be filled, paused, cancelled or moved to an internal board; the API doesn't say why.
• Re-posts: some companies take a job down and post it again under a new ID. That shows as one closed plus one opened; possibleRepost marks pairs with the same title and location.
• Timing depends on how often you run it. A job that opens and closes between two runs is never seen.
• SmartRecruiters company IDs are case-sensitive ("BoschGroup"), and an unknown ID returns an empty board, which is reported as not found.
• Polite by design: at most 10 boards in parallel and at least 0.5 s between requests to the same job-board host. Very large watchlists take a little longer.
• If a run stops early (Max results or your maximum cost per run), the baseline isn't moved forward for companies whose changes were cut off, so the next run lists them again.
• Job data belongs to the companies that post it, and is read from each vendor's public job-board API.

FAQ

How is this different from a jobs scraper? A jobs scraper returns every open job each time. This Actor returns only what changed, plus a per-company summary, so a daily schedule stays cheap and easy to act on.

Where is my baseline stored? In a key-value store named hiring-changes-monitor-state in your own Apify account, one record per state name and company. Delete it to start over.

No saved state, or a new account? Set Compare with dataset to the dataset of an earlier run of this Actor. Its company rows hold each board's open jobs.

Can I export to CSV or Excel? Yes. Every Apify dataset can be downloaded as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML. Use the Job changes or Companies view.

What's in the run report? The RUN_REPORT record lists every company's status (checked, baseline, not found), counts, changes saved, the stop reason and warnings.
