## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Public Hiring Signal Monitor

Turn public job-board, ATS, and career-site records into **account-priority signals, department growth, seniority, and sales-trigger actions**.

This Actor is built for sales teams, RevOps, recruiters, agencies, and account-based marketing workflows that already collect public job records and need to know what those jobs imply.

### What You Learn

- Which department a new role belongs to
- Whether a role is senior, executive, manager, mid-level, or entry-level
- Whether hiring suggests GTM expansion, leadership change, or general account activity
- Which accounts deserve follow-up
- What action to take in a sales or recruiting workflow

### Use Cases

- Weekly hiring-change alerts for target accounts
- Sales-trigger enrichment from public ATS data
- RevOps account scoring
- Recruiting-market monitoring
- Agency account research and prospect prioritization

### Input

Provide job records inline or pass an Apify `datasetId` from another job scraper.

```json
{
  "defaultCompany": "Northstar CRM",
  "jobs": [
    {
      "companyName": "Northstar CRM",
      "title": "Senior Account Executive",
      "description": "Help us scale revenue in a new region.",
      "location": "Remote"
    }
  ],
  "maxJobs": 100
}
````

### Output

Each dataset item is one analyzed hiring signal:

```json
{
  "status": "succeeded",
  "recordIndex": 1,
  "billingEventName": "hiring-signal-analyzed",
  "companyName": "Northstar CRM",
  "jobTitle": "Senior Account Executive",
  "department": "sales",
  "seniority": "senior",
  "signalType": "expansion_signal",
  "priorityScore": 95,
  "remoteHint": true,
  "accountAction": "Flag Northstar CRM as expanding; enrich the account and monitor adjacent roles this week."
}
```

The run also writes a `SUMMARY` key-value-store record with department and signal counts.

### Pricing

Default monetization model: pay per event.

Recommended chargeable event:

- Event name: `hiring-signal-analyzed`
- Event meaning: one successfully analyzed public job record
- Store price: `$0.025` per analyzed job signal
- Pricing activation: scheduled for `2026-05-26T21:05:10Z`

Successful rows are pushed only after the charge path allows the event. Run a paid smoke after the scheduled activation time before promoting the listing.

### Limitations

- This MVP analyzes job records; it does not scrape LinkedIn, Indeed, or ATS pages directly.
- It is intentionally positioned around public job datasets and account-priority signals, not credential-heavy scraping.
- Source schemas vary. The Actor recognizes common fields such as `title`, `jobTitle`, `companyName`, `description`, `location`, and `url`.

### Automation And Agent Use

- Run a public job scraper first, then pass its dataset ID to this Actor.
- Schedule weekly account monitoring for target-account lists.
- Send high-priority hiring signals to Slack, a CRM, or a spreadsheet.
- Use `department`, `seniority`, `signalType`, and `priorityScore` in downstream account scoring.

### Local Development

```bash
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
apify run --purge --input-file examples/smoke-input.json
```

# Actor input Schema

## `defaultCompany` (type: `string`):

Fallback company/account name when a job record does not include one.

## `jobs` (type: `array`):

Optional job records from public job boards, ATS pages, or career-site scrapers.

## `datasetId` (type: `string`):

Optional Apify dataset ID containing job records from another Actor.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap for analyzed jobs in one run.

## `datasetItemLimit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to load from the source dataset.

## `failOnInvalidRecord` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the Actor fails on the first invalid job record instead of returning partial error records.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "defaultCompany": "Northstar CRM",
  "jobs": [
    {
      "companyName": "Northstar CRM",
      "title": "Senior Account Executive",
      "description": "Help us scale revenue in a new region.",
      "location": "Remote"
    }
  ],
  "maxJobs": 100,
  "datasetItemLimit": 100,
  "failOnInvalidRecord": false
