B2B Sales Triggers Scraper

Detect high-intent B2B sales triggers — hiring surges, funding rounds, executive changes, and news momentum — from a list of company names. See which target accounts are actively hiring, how many open roles they have, and what they're hiring for. Produces a graded (A/B/C/D) priority list with rationale and source signals.

What It Does

Input a list of company names. The actor scans Google News RSS feeds to detect the following signal types:

• Hiring Surge — New job openings, team expansions, recruiting announcements
• Funding Round — Venture funding, Series A/B/C, IPO filings, new investment
• Executive Change — CEO/CTO/CFO appointments, departures, leadership reshuffles
• News Momentum — General company news indicating business activity

Turn on Include Hiring Signals and it also checks whether each company is actively hiring right now — see Live Hiring Signals below.

Each signal record is graded A–D based on recency and keyword match strength:

Grade	Meaning
A	Article ≤7 days old with strong keyword confirmation — act now
B	Article ≤30 days old with keyword confirmation — high priority
C	Article ≤90 days old — monitor and follow up
D	Article >90 days old or weak signal — low priority

Live Hiring Signals

Turn on includeHiringSignals and get a dedicated row per company answering the question your SDRs actually ask: is this account hiring right now, how many roles, and for what?

{
  "company": "Stripe",
  "signal_type": "ats_hiring_signal",
  "grade": "A",
  "title": "Stripe — 140 open roles on Greenhouse",

  "job_board_url": "https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/stripe",
  "sample_roles": ["Account Executive, Mid-Market", "Site Reliability Engineer", "Business Development Representative"]
}

Field	Description
is_hiring	Whether the company has any open roles right now
open_roles	Count of open roles found
ats	Which public job board platform the listing came from
job_board_url	Link to the company's public job board
sample_roles	Up to 5 recent open job titles, so you know what they're hiring for

Coverage depends on the company having a public job board — not every company does, so some will simply have no hiring row.
