Company Job Postings Monitor (Greenhouse & Lever)

Know when any company starts hiring like crazy — or quietly freezes — before it shows up anywhere else.

Hiring is a leading indicator. Peer-reviewed research (Management Science) shows changes in a company's job-posting count predict revenue and earnings growth ahead of announcements. Sales teams use hiring surges to time outreach; recruiters use them to find warm markets; investors use freezes as an early warning; competitive-intel teams track rivals' team-building in real time.

This actor monitors the live job boards of any companies using Greenhouse or Lever (thousands of tech companies, from startups to public companies), counts open postings, and — because it remembers previous counts between runs — flags HIRING_SURGE and HIRING_FREEZE signals automatically.

What you get

One dataset row per company per run:

{
  "company": "Stripe",
  "ats": "greenhouse",
  "slug": "stripe",
  "open_postings": 312,
  "previous_postings": 198,
  "change_pct": 0.576,
  "signal": "HIRING_SURGE",
  "checked_at": "2026-08-15T04:30:00Z"
}

Optionally include the full list of open job titles per company.

Use cases

• Sales intelligence: a company surging in engineering hires is buying tools — reach out this week, not next quarter
• Investing research: posting deltas front-run earnings; freezes precede layoffs and guidance cuts
• Recruiting: spot which companies are actually hiring in your vertical right now
• Competitive intel: watch competitors' headcount plans by department

How to use

1. Find each company's board slug — it's in their careers URL: boards.greenhouse.io/SLUG or jobs.lever.co/SLUG
2. Add them to the input with ats and slug
3. Schedule the actor weekly — the surge/freeze signals come from comparing runs, so the value compounds with every run

First run sets the baseline; every run after that reports deltas. Data comes from the companies' own public job-board APIs — stable JSON endpoints, no scraping fragility.
