Hiring Signal Detector — Find Companies Actively Hiring

Detect buying signals by finding companies with open positions for specific roles. Perfect for sales intelligence and prospecting.

How it works

1. Searches public career pages on Greenhouse, Lever, and other ATS platforms
2. Matches job titles against your keywords
3. Scores companies by signal strength (strong/moderate/weak)
4. Returns structured data with matching roles and company details

Why hiring data = buying signals

• Company hiring 5 SDRs → scaling sales → needs sales tools
• Company hiring data engineers → building data team → needs data infrastructure
• Company hiring security engineers → security initiative → needs security products

What you get per company

• Company slug and careers page URL
• Total open roles — company growth indicator
• Matching jobs — titles, locations, departments
• Signal strength — strong (3+), moderate (2), or weak (1)
• ATS platform — Greenhouse, Lever, etc.

Supported ATS platforms

• Greenhouse (boards.greenhouse.io) — JSON API
• Lever (jobs.lever.co) — JSON API
• Auto-discovery via DuckDuckGo search

❓ FAQ

Q: How do I get started? Sign up at apify.com, grab your API token from Settings → Integrations, and run the actor via the Apify console, API, Python SDK, or any integration (Zapier, Make.com, n8n).

Q: What's the typical cost per run? See the pricing section below. Most runs finish under $0.10 for typical batches.

Q: Is this actor maintained? Yes. NexGenData maintains 140+ Apify actors and ships updates regularly. Bug reports via the Apify console issues tab get responses within 24 hours.

Q: Can I use the output commercially? Yes — you own the output data. Check the target site's Terms of Service for any usage restrictions on the scraped content itself.

Q: How do I handle rate limits? Apify manages concurrency and retries automatically. For very large batches (10K+ items), run multiple smaller jobs in parallel instead of one mega-job for better reliability.
