New Hire Finder

Find the people who started a role at a company in the last few months. Give a company domain, the titles you sell to, and a lookback window. Get one flat row per person: name, profile URL, title, start month, prior role, move type (new hire or internal promotion), and the source that found them.

Use it for "welcome to your new role" outreach, to catch a new decision maker at a target account, or to tell a real new hire from an internal promotion before you write the first line. This actor never fetches linkedin.com. It runs free routes on every company and goes deeper on your own Prospeo, Serper, SerpApi, or Exa key.

Features

• Move type on every row. new_hire when the person came from another employer, promotion when the previous role was at the same employer and still open or ended within 3 months, unknown when only a hire announcement is known. By default only new hires are returned and charged; add promotion or unknown to move_types to get them too.
• Start month, not a guess. start_month comes from the work history of the role at your target company, at month precision. start_basis says whether the date is a role start or an announcement date.
• Charged per new hire found, never per profile read. Summary rows and people outside your window, titles, or move types cost nothing.
• Your keys, your data. Prospeo, Serper, SerpApi, and Exa run on keys you pass as secret inputs and are billed to you by those vendors. You can also pass people you already hold, with role histories, and the same rules run on them with no provider call.
• Free routes first. Google News hire headlines, the company newsroom, and the company team pages run on every company with no key.
• One summary row per company that says what was searched, how many candidates were read, why they were dropped, and how many provider credits were used, so an empty result is labeled.
• Batch input, flat snake_case rows, ready for Clay, a CRM, or a sequencer.

How it finds people

1. Your own people (people): the window, title, company, and move rules run on the role histories you pass.
2. Prospeo (your key): people at the company domain whose current role started inside your window and whose title matches, each with a full work history. One Prospeo credit per page of up to 25 people.
3. Web search (your Serper, SerpApi, or Exa key). With Serper or SerpApi, the first query finds public "joining Acme as Content Manager" announcement posts, which Google dates, so recent starters show up even before data providers index them. A second query (set max_search_queries_per_company to 2) finds profile results that name the company and a title; those carry no date and are dated with your Prospeo key only when Prospeo search could not run. Exa results carry work histories and need no enrichment. The actor reads the search results only and never opens the post or profile.
4. Google News and the company newsroom (free): hire headlines where the company is the subject ("Acme appoints Jane Doe as VP Marketing"). With a Prospeo key the person is dated from their work history; without one the row keeps the announcement month and move type unknown.
5. Team pages (free): names and titles from the company's own team or leadership page, dated with your Prospeo key.

Pricing

Pay per event. You pay for each person returned, and a small start fee per run.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold
new_hire_found, per person returned	$0.085	$0.08075	$0.0765	$0.07225
Per 1,000 people	$85.00	$80.75	$76.50	$72.25
apify-actor-start, per run	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001

• Summary rows, cache hits, and people dropped by your filters are never charged.
• Promotions and announcement only rows are charged only when you add them to move_types.
• Free plan: up to 17 people a month.
• The run stops at your maximum cost per run, and before any charge that would pass max_charge_usd. Every row already charged stays in the dataset.
• Prospeo, Serper, SerpApi, and Exa bill you directly for calls on your keys. The summary row counts them.

Usage examples

}

Clay

Add an "Apify: Run Actor" column with the actor ID cKuc38p4nYHNF3IW8, map your domain column to company_domain, and set target_titles and lookback_months. Each row returns the people found for that domain.

Your own data, no provider key

{
  "people": [
    {
      "person_name": "Ann Lee",
      "company_domain": "acme.com",
      "roles": [
        { "title": "Head of Marketing", "company_name": "Acme", "start": "2026-08", "end": null },
        { "title": "Marketing Lead", "company_name": "Globex", "start": "2020-01", "end": "2026-07" }
      ]
    }

MCP

An MCP server for this actor is planned under the @mambalabsdev npm scope after the Store listing goes live.

Error handling

Failure	What happens	Where you see it
No provider key	Free routes and your own people only	summary_status: no_provider_keys
Key rejected	That provider stops for the rest of the run	summary_status: key_rejected, provider_errors
Credits spent	That provider stops for the rest of the run	summary_status: credit_exhausted
Provider error or rate limit	The company continues on the other routes	provider_errors, sources_unreadable
Newsroom or team page blocked	Skipped	sources_unreadable
Not a domain	One summary row	summary_status: invalid_domain
Nobody matched	One summary row with the drop counts	summary_status: no_match

Limitations

• Without a Prospeo or Exa key, depth is limited to hire headlines, which name few people below the executive level, and headline rows carry the announcement month with move type unknown.
• Work histories come from provider indexes, which can lag a real start by months. In a 20 company test on 2026-10-14 the newest start month in Prospeo's data was 2026-05, so announcement rows (start_basis: announcement_date) fill the recent months.
• A provider record can still list a role the person has left. In the same test, 3 of 11 rows that could be checked against a public profile showed the person had already moved on.
• Provider data can hold a stale open role. A promotion is still detected when a role at the same employer ended within 3 months of the new start.
• Title matching uses whole words, so marketing does not match "Head of Growth" unless you add growth or switch on synonyms.
• This actor keeps no state between runs. Run it on a schedule and diff by person_key to track new starters.
• No email or phone is returned.
