⚡ Why Use This Actor?

Hiring trajectory is the single highest-fidelity leading indicator of private company revenue growth, product pivots, and operational health.

While competitors charge $12.00 per 1,000 jobs on bloated headless browsers, ATS Hiring Signals queries the underlying public career APIs directly:

• 🚀 10x Faster: Processes 1,000+ postings in seconds using lightweight asynchronous HTTP requests.
• 💰 80% Lower Cost: Priced at $2.50 / 1,000 jobs under Pay-Per-Event (pay only for what you extract).
• 🧠 Built-in Delta Tracking: Automatically computes run-to-run changes (isNew, newJobs, removedJobs, netChange) without needing an external database.
• 🛡️ 100% Stable: Zero Cloudflare / CAPTCHA blocks because it connects to authorized public career board endpoints.
