Job Monitor - New Job Alerts from Career Pages

Get the new jobs from the companies you care about, every morning, straight from their career pages. Add your own companies, pick a ready-made list (1,040 remote-first companies and 2,344 startups, about 900 new jobs a day between them), or both. Every run reads each company's own hiring system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters), remembers what it has already shown you and returns only the jobs that are new or closed since the last run. Put it on a daily schedule and get the new jobs in Slack, email, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own webhook.

Example output. On October 21, 2026 the first run of a new watch on the four demo companies returned the 19 jobs they posted in the last 7 days; four of them are below. A second run right after it returned 0 new jobs and cost nothing.

What can you monitor?

• Job seekers. Get an alert the day the companies you want to work for post a role in your field.
• Recruiters and agencies. New roles at your target accounts are new business: see them first.
• Sales teams (hiring signals). A company that opens five sales roles is growing. Reach out when your prospects start hiring for the teams you sell to.
• Competitor intelligence. See which teams your competitors grow, where and at what pay.
• Job boards and newsletters. A daily feed of fresh jobs with direct links; closed rows tell you which jobs to take down.
• AI agents. Let Claude, Cursor or any MCP client answer "what did these companies post since yesterday?" with live data.

Set up job alerts in five minutes

1. Click Try for free. The Apify free plan needs no credit card.
2. In Companies to monitor, replace the four demo companies with the ones you want to watch, or pick a Ready-made company list. Optionally add title words, locations or Remote jobs only.
3. Keep What to return at Only new and closed since the last run and give the watch a name, for example competitors.
4. Click Start. The first run returns the jobs published in the last 7 days and remembers all other current jobs for free: this is your starting point.
5. Click Save as new task. In Schedules, add the task, pick a time (daily suits most feeds) and your time zone, and switch the schedule on: new schedules are created switched off.
6. In the task's Integrations tab, choose where the alerts go (next section).

From then on every run returns only the jobs that are new (changeStatus: "new") or that disappeared from the job board (changeStatus: "closed"). The same job is never returned as new twice. Use a separate watch name for each feed.

Where do the alerts go?

Where	How to set it up	What you get
Slack	task Integrations tab: Slack, your channel, the "run succeeded" event	a message after every run; put {{resource.statusMessage}} in the message to see "12 new jobs, 3 closed from 2878 companies", plus a link to the results
Email	task Integrations tab: Send results email via Gmail	an email after every successful run with the jobs attached as a file
Zapier	trigger "Finished task run", then "Fetch dataset items"	one message per new job in Slack, email, Google Sheets, Airtable or any app Zapier connects
Make or n8n	start on a finished task run and read its dataset items	the same as Zapier
Webhook	task Integrations tab: HTTP webhook on "run succeeded"	a POST to your endpoint with the run and its dataset ID; read the jobs through the Apify API

Slack and email messages come after every run, also when nothing is new: the status then says "0 new jobs". Zapier, Make and n8n send nothing on a quiet day. Turn off Include job description to keep messages short. Connect the alerts after the first run, so its week of jobs does not flood your channel.

How many new jobs will I get?

Both lists together on October 20, 2026. New jobs a day = jobs published in the 7 days before that date, divided by 7.

Feed (both lists)	Open jobs	New jobs a day	First run: the last 7 days	Then a month of daily runs
engineer, developer, DevOps or SRE in the title	19,047	about 268	about $3.75	about $16
data, analytics, machine learning or AI	6,323	about 117	about $1.64	about $7
sales, account executive, business development, SDR or BDR	7,083	about 108	about $1.51	about $6.50
marketing, growth, SEO or content	3,483	about 56	about $0.78	about $3.40
product manager or designer	2,913	about 44	about $0.62	about $2.60
operations	2,495	about 43	about $0.60	about $2.60
customer success or support	1,860	about 32	about $0.45	about $1.90
remote jobs only	26,243	about 418	about $5.85	about $25
location names the United States	32,962	about 453	about $6.34	about $27
Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Spain and more)	11,702	about 191	about $2.67	about $11.50
United Kingdom	4,559	about 75	about $1.05	about $4.50
everything in both lists	61,437	about 913	about $12.78	about $55

The first run does not charge for the open jobs older than 7 days: it only remembers them. To pay less, add title words or locations, lower First run: jobs from the last N days (0 starts the watch without returning anything), or set Maximum cost per run in the run options: the monitor stops before it goes over your limit, and the jobs it did not reach come in the next run.

The four prefilled companies under the default watch name are a demo: every run returns all their current jobs (183 on October 20, 2026, about $0.37), so you see the output at once. Give the watch a name of your own and they are monitored like any other companies.

The ready-made lists

List	Who is in it	Companies	Open jobs on October 20, 2026	New jobs a day
Remote-first companies	at least half of open jobs are remote, 5 to 1,000 open jobs	1,040	27,266	about 420
Startups on Ashby	companies that hire through Ashby, an applicant tracking system popular with venture-backed startups, with 1 to 300 open jobs	2,344	44,625	about 660
Both lists	506 companies are in both lists and are read once	2,878	61,437	about 913

The lists include Tailscale, Linear, Supabase, Ramp, Vanta, ElevenLabs, PostHog, n8n, GitLab, Coinbase, Reddit and thousands more. We rebuild them every month from the live job boards, so companies that stop hiring drop out and new ones come in.

A closed row is short and free: id, source, board, sourceJobId, company, changeStatus: "closed" and scrapedAt. Closed rows cover every job the watch remembers, also the older jobs it remembered on the first run.

Jobs from the prefilled demo input on October 20, 2026:

Company	Title	Location	Workplace	Salary	Published
Gcore	DevOps Engineer/SRE (Cloud IaaS)	Serbia, Cyprus, Georgia	remote		2026-10-16

Linear	Senior / Staff Fullstack Engineer	Europe	remote		2021-04-27

Under a watch name of its own, the first run of the same four companies on October 21, 2026 returned 19 new jobs of the last 7 days and remembered 166 older ones without a charge; the second run returned 0 new and 0 closed jobs and cost nothing. Empty cells are values the company does not publish. Some companies keep evergreen jobs open for years: publishedAt shows when the job was first posted.

How much does it cost?

• $2 per 1,000 new jobs (pay per event). Apify platform usage is included in the price.
• Free: closed-job rows, runs and companies without new jobs, companies that are not found, errors.
• The first run of a watch returns the matching jobs of the last 7 days and remembers the older ones for free; after that you pay only for jobs that are new.
• The Apify free plan gives $5 of credit every month: about 2,500 jobs.
• Set Maximum cost per run in the run options: the monitor stops before it goes over your limit.

How often should I run it? Once a day suits most feeds: a company posts a few jobs a week. If you need faster alerts, run it every few hours: you still pay only for new jobs.

Input

Companies

Use your own companies, a ready-made list, or both. Three ways to add a company:

You write	Example	What happens
system:board	greenhouse:tailscale, lever:pointclickcare, ashby:linear, smartrecruiters:gcore	read directly
Job board link	https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/linear	read directly
Company website	tailscale.com	the monitor looks for a job board link on the website; if there is none, it tries the domain name as a board name and says so in the run summary

The same company written twice (in any letter case, as different links or also in a list) is read and charged once.

Example input

{
  "companies": ["greenhouse:tailscale", "https://jobs.lever.co/pointclickcare", "linear.app"],
  "companyLists": ["startups"],
  "mode": "changes",
  "watchName": "design-europe",
  "firstRunDays": 7,
  "includeKeywords": ["designer", "product manager"],
  "excludeKeywords": ["intern"],
  "locations": ["Europe", "United Kingdom", "Germany"],
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "includeDescription": true
}

Watch name and memory

The monitor keeps its memory in a key-value store in your own Apify account, named firsthand-job-monitor-<watch name>. To start a watch from scratch, use a new watch name or delete that store. Jobs not seen for 90 days are forgotten automatically.

First run: jobs from the last N days (7 by default) decides what a new watch returns: jobs published in the last N days come as new, all other current jobs are remembered without a charge. The same rule applies the first time a watch sees a company you add later. Set 0 to start a watch silently, or 3650 to get every current job once.

Run summary

Each run saves a summary to the key-value store record OUTPUT: for every company the system, board, status (ok, not_found or error), the number of new and closed jobs and a note when something needs your attention. A company that fails never stops the run.

Which job boards are supported?

System	Board link	Notes
Greenhouse	boards.greenhouse.io/{board}, job-boards.greenhouse.io/{board}	salary is often found in the description text
Lever	jobs.lever.co/{board}	salary range where the company publishes it
Ashby	jobs.ashbyhq.com/{board}	unlisted jobs are skipped
SmartRecruiters	jobs.smartrecruiters.com/{board}	public jobs only; each description is a separate request

Job boards hosted in the EU (eu.greenhouse.io, jobs.eu.lever.co) are not supported yet.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

This monitor works as a tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server: Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n and other MCP clients. Add this URL as a remote MCP server and sign in to Apify when your browser opens:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=firsthand-data/career-page-job-monitor

Then ask, for example, "what new jobs did Linear and Tailscale post since yesterday?". The memory works for agents too: every call with the same watch name returns only what is new. Turn off Include job description to keep answers short.

Fair use and data quality

• Reads only the official public job board APIs that these systems provide for career pages.
• Keeps to each source's rules: SmartRecruiters at most about 9 requests per second (their limit is 10), Lever job pages at most one request per second (their robots.txt), company websites only where robots.txt allows.
• No logins, no proxies, no hidden or unlisted jobs.
• No personal data: recruiter names and photos are not collected; emails and phone numbers are removed from descriptions.
• Results and the monitor's memory stay in your own Apify account. We do not keep copies.
• Not affiliated with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters, or with the companies in the lists. Their names are trademarks of their owners.

FAQ

How does the monitor know a job is new? Every job has a stable id on its job board. The monitor remembers each id it has returned under the watch name; a job is new when its id was never returned before.

What does the first run return? The jobs published in the last 7 days that match your filters. All other current jobs are remembered for free, so later runs return only what changed. Change the window in First run: jobs from the last N days: 0 starts silently, 3650 returns every current job once.

What if a job board is down during a run? The company gets status error in the run summary, and its jobs are not reported as closed. The next run compares again from the same memory.

A company re-posted a job. Is it new? If the job board gave it a new id, yes: it comes as new, and the old one as closed.

Can I change the companies or filters of a watch? Yes. Added companies follow the first-run rule: their jobs of the last 7 days come as new on the next run, older ones are remembered. Jobs that your new filters hide are not reported as closed: they are still open.

What if I leave Companies empty and pick no list? The run does not fail. With title words or locations it monitors both lists in only-new mode; without any filter it runs the four sample companies as a demo (all their current jobs, about $0.37), so an empty call through the API or an AI agent never costs the price of the whole lists.

Do I need an API key or a proxy? No. All four systems publish open jobs through public job board endpoints.

How fresh is the data? Live: every run reads each job board at that moment.
