🆕 What's new in v2.0

Major upgrade. If you're upgrading from v1.x your existing scheduled runs keep working — is_remote, queries, locations, posted_after, page, page_size are unchanged. Everything below is additive:

• Far richer per-job data — AI-extracted qualifications (typed hard / soft skills, education, certifications), responsibilities[], benefits[], summary (one-paragraph AI summary), normalized_title for canonical grouping.
• Enriched company object — company.industries[], company.summary, company.logo_url, company.website, plus a company.details_url link to the full enriched company profile (funding, leadership, ratings, press references, H1B stats).
• Geocoded locations — every locations[] entry includes resolved city / region / country and latitude / longitude when the raw string is geocodable.
• Salary range filter — min_salary_usd / max_salary_usd (USD-normalized server-side from any source currency).
• Skills include / exclude — match against AI-extracted qualifications, not just description text.
• Companies include / exclude — narrow to (or away from) specific employers.
• Work model + experience + employment type filters — work_models, experience_levels, employment_types as explicit faceted filters.
• Negative query syntax — prefix any queries entry with - to drop that token (e.g. ["Software Engineer", "-staff", "-principal"]).
• Work-authorization signals — is_work_auth_required, is_h1b_sponsor, is_clearance_required flags per job.

Source key changed: the dataset now emits source: "lever" (matching the canonical Jobo source ID). v1 emitted source: "lever_co". Update any downstream consumer keyed on the old value.

No setup required. The actor ships pre-configured to call the Jobo Connect API.

🚀 Quick Start Examples

Remote engineering jobs at fast-growing startups

{
  "queries": ["Software Engineer", "Backend Developer"],
  "is_remote": true,
  "page_size": 50
}

Senior+ roles in San Francisco, $160k+

{
  "queries": ["Software Engineer"],
  "locations": ["San Francisco"],
  "experience_levels": ["senior", "lead"],
  "min_salary_usd": 160000,
  "page_size": 50
}

Recent data science jobs (last 7 days)

{
  "queries": ["Data Scientist", "ML Engineer"],
  "posted_after": "7 days ago",
  "page_size": 100
}

Software Engineer roles, but skip Staff / Principal / Lead

Prefix any queries entry with - to exclude that token. Excludes are lightly stemmed, so -staff also catches staffs, staffed, staffing. The exclusion applies across title, description, and skills — useful for filtering out role-modifier words you never want to see.

{
  "queries": ["Software Engineer", "-staff", "-principal", "-lead"],
  "experience_levels": ["mid", "senior"],
  "page_size": 50
}

Python / Node.js backend roles, no Java

Skill filters match against AI-extracted qualifications, not raw description text — so you don't have to worry about a job description that says "we don't use Java" matching your skills_exclude: Java.

{
  "queries": ["Backend Engineer"],
  "skills_include": ["Python", "Node.js"],
  "skills_exclude": ["Java"],
  "is_remote": true,
  "page_size": 50
}

Hybrid product roles at a specific portfolio shortlist

Companies match case-insensitively on the canonical name. Pull the names from a previous run's company.name field if you're unsure of the exact form.

{
  "queries": ["Product Manager"],
  "companies_include": ["Lyft", "Coinbase", "Gusto", "Calm"],
  "work_models": ["hybrid", "onsite"],
  "experience_levels": ["senior", "lead"]
}

H1B-sponsoring engineering roles

The is_h1b_sponsor flag is per-job (derived from public DOL filings + company history), not per-company.

{
  "queries": ["Software Engineer"],
  "experience_levels": ["mid", "senior"],
  "min_salary_usd": 140000,
  "page_size": 100
}

Then filter the dataset for is_h1b_sponsor == true in your client code.

💡 Tips & Gotchas

• Negative query scope. -staff excludes documents containing the token staff in any searched field (title, description, skills, company name). For role-modifier words like staff, lead, principal, intern that's nearly always what you want; for ambiguous words it can over-exclude.
• industries empty for some companies. Industries are populated by Jobo's company enrichment pipeline (Crunchbase + LinkedIn + AI curation). Companies that haven't been enriched yet show industries: []. Coverage is ~95%+ on companies with > 100 jobs in our index, lower on long-tail companies.
• Geocoding is best-effort. Loose location strings like "Worldwide" or "Multiple Locations" won't have latitude/longitude. The raw location string is always preserved so you can fall back to it.
• details_url is authenticated. It returns the same auth-gated JSON as Jobo Connect's enterprise company API — you'll need an X-Api-Key. Treat the URL as a discoverable hint rather than an open endpoint.
• Pagination cap. page_size maxes at 100; page maxes at 100. To pull more than 10,000 results for a query, narrow the filter (e.g. by posted_after window, companies_include, or a more specific queries) rather than paginating deeper.
• One ATS per actor. This actor pre-pins sources: ["lever"] — you can't widen it to other ATSes. Use ATS Jobs Search to query Lever + Greenhouse + Ashby + 45 more in one call.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How many Lever companies do you cover?

We index 6,000+ companies using Lever, representing hundreds of thousands of active startup jobs. New companies and jobs are added daily.

Which companies use Lever?

Lever is the ATS of choice for VC-backed startups and scale-ups: Lyft, Coinbase, Twitch, Gusto, Calm, Opendoor, Ro, Dutchie, Samsara, Braze, and 6,000+ more in our database. Series A through pre-IPO and recently public.

Lever vs Greenhouse — what's the difference?

Lever = startups & scale-ups, equity-first, remote-friendly. Greenhouse = larger tech unicorns and high-growth public companies. Both are tech-focused; Lever skews earlier-stage.

How often is data updated?

Jobs are verified daily. Expired listings are automatically removed within 24 hours.

How do I exclude certain titles?

Prefix any entry in queries with -. Example: ["Software Engineer", "-staff", "-principal"] returns Software Engineer roles but drops Staff and Principal variants. Excludes are lightly stemmed (-staff also catches staffs / staffed / staffing).

Why is industries empty for some companies?

Industries come from Jobo's company-enrichment pipeline (Crunchbase + LinkedIn + AI curation). Companies that haven't been enriched yet — typically very small or newly added — show industries: []. The full enriched profile (including industries) is also available via company.details_url.

Can I filter by salary?

Yes — min_salary_usd and max_salary_usd. Salaries posted in other currencies are normalized to USD server-side using current FX rates. Jobs without a disclosed salary are excluded when either filter is set.

What does company.details_url give me?

It links to the full enriched company profile on Jobo Connect: funding history, leadership, employee counts, ratings (Glassdoor), press mentions, H1B sponsorship statistics. It uses the same X-Api-Key as the search API.

Can I search all ATS platforms at once?

Yes! Use ATS Jobs Search to search Lever + Greenhouse + Ashby + 45 other platforms in one call.

What's the difference between v1.x and v2.0?

v2 calls a richer backend (Jobo Connect direct, not the previous gateway). Same input contract for queries / locations / is_remote / posted_after / page / page_size (existing schedules keep working), plus a much richer per-job shape and 10+ new filters. The dataset's source field changed from "lever_co" to "lever" — update any consumer keyed on the old value. See What's new in v2.0 above.
