## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Hiring Signals - Companies Actively Hiring, Salaries & Growth

Find companies that are actively hiring, aggregated per company rather than per job — open roles, which departments they are building out, salary ranges and how widely they are advertising.

### What you can do with it

- **B2B sales prospecting** — companies hiring are companies with budget. Filter by the function they are building out to find teams that need what you sell.
- **Recruiting intelligence** — see who is competing for the same candidates, and at what salary.
- **Market and competitor research** — track which companies are scaling and where.
- **Investor and analyst signals** — headcount growth is a leading indicator, visible before it is reported.
- **Salary benchmarking by company** — aggregated ranges rather than one-off listings.

### Input

Every field is optional. Run it with no configuration and it returns useful data
straight away.

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `minOpenRoles` | integer | Only companies with at least this many distinct open roles. Raise it to surface companies in a real hiring push. Default `2`. |
| `function` | string | Only companies hiring in this area, e.g. Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Design, Healthcare, Customer, Product. |
| `minSalary` | integer | Only companies advertising at least this much on some role. |
| `postedWithinDays` | integer | Only count roles posted in the last N days. Default `30`. |
| `excludeAgencies` | boolean | Filter out recruiters and staffing firms, which post many unrelated roles and are noise if you are looking for buyers. Default `True`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | How many companies to return. Default `200`. |

### Output

Flat JSON records, exportable as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Fields the source does
not publish come back as `null` rather than being omitted, so your schema stays
stable between runs.

### Pricing

Pay per result. You are charged only for records actually delivered - a run that
matches nothing costs nothing.

### Keeping it fresh

Use Apify **Schedules** to run this on a timer and your dataset stays current
without you touching it. Add a webhook to push new records straight into your
database, Google Sheet or Slack channel.

### Reliability

This reads the source's own public API - no logins, no bot circumvention. That is
a deliberate choice: actors that depend on defeating bot protection break without
warning. This one does not.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("feedforge/hiring-signals-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("feedforge/hiring-signals-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
