## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Hiring Signals → Notion — Track Who's Hiring & Which Teams Are Growing

**Feed it a list of companies. Get back a hiring-signal scorecard for each — and (optionally) a ready-to-use Notion database, built in the same run.**

Hiring is the most honest signal a company sends. A wave of new engineering reqs means a product push. A sudden run of sales and BD roles means a go-to-market expansion. New offices in a new city means geographic growth. This Actor reads a company's **live, public job board** and turns it into a one-line read on where that company is putting its money — then drops it straight into your Notion workspace if you want it there.

Built for **recruiters, sales/BD teams, competitive-intel analysts, and investors** who want to know who's growing *before* it's obvious.

---

### What you get per company

Each scorecard contains:

| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| `company` / `company_slug` | The company and its resolved Greenhouse board |
| `open_roles_count` | Total live open roles right now |
| `departments` | Every hiring team with an open-role count (ranked) |
| `notable_roles` | A handful of representative open titles |
| `locations` | Where they're hiring, top locations ranked |
| `hiring_velocity_note` | Plain English — e.g. *"expanding eng (28) + sales (11) — 64 open roles total"* |
| `source` | Direct link to the live job board |
| `data_source` | Always the public Greenhouse job-board API |
| `as_of_timestamp` | When the snapshot was taken (UTC) |

### 📊 Sample Output

[![Hiring Signals to Notion sample output — live hiring-signal scorecards for Stripe, Anthropic, Airbnb, Figma, Reddit, GitLab, Asana and Discord showing open-role counts, top hiring department, and a plain-English hiring-velocity note from public Greenhouse job boards](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/8gLgXMBveEI1tTz1z/records/hiring-signals-notion-sample)](https://apify.com/nexgendata/hiring-signals-notion?fpr=2ayu9b)

Real scorecards returned by a live run across **8 companies** — every value below comes straight from the public Greenhouse job-board API at run time:

| Company | Open roles | Top hiring department | Hiring-velocity note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | 506 | 1150 Solutions Architecture (23) | expanding eng (181) + ops (108) + sales (59) — 506 open roles total |
| Anthropic | 378 | Sales (74) | expanding eng (220) + sales (68) + ops (38) — 378 open roles total |
| Airbnb | 222 | Software Engineering (67) | expanding eng (87) + sales (44) + ops (38) — 222 open roles total |
| Figma | 171 | Sales (64) | expanding sales (75) + eng (48) + ops (18) — 171 open roles total |
| Reddit | 146 | Large Customer Sales (26) | expanding eng (82) + sales (36) + product (4) — 146 open roles total |
| GitLab | 138 | EMEA - Commercial (14) | expanding eng (49) + sales (42) + ops (18) — 138 open roles total |
| Asana | 133 | Product Engineering (30) | expanding eng (62) + sales (25) + ops (16) — 133 open roles total |
| Discord | 70 | Core Tech Engineering (14) | expanding eng (41) + ops (10) + product (7) — 70 open roles total |

Each dataset row also carries the full ranked `departments` and `locations` arrays, `notable_roles`, the live `source` link, `data_source`, and `as_of_timestamp` — see the full JSON object under **Example output** below.

---

### Optional: one-run delivery into Notion

Add a **Notion MCP connector** and the Actor builds a fresh Notion database for you in the same run — one row per company, columns for open roles, top departments, notable roles, top locations, hiring-velocity note, source, and snapshot date. The Actor **never sees your Notion credentials**; Apify injects them server-side through the connector. Leave the connector blank and you simply get the dataset.

To use it: authorize a Notion MCP connector in **Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations**, then pick it in the `notionConnector` field. Optionally pass a `notionParentId` to nest the database under a specific page.

---

### Input

```json
{
  "companies": ["stripe", "airbnb", "anthropic"],
  "notionConnector": null,
  "notionParentId": null
}
````

- **companies** — slugs or company names. Names are normalized to Greenhouse slug candidates automatically (e.g. "Air BnB" → `airbnb`). Verified-working slugs: `stripe`, `airbnb`, `anthropic`, `figma`, `discord`, `gitlab`, `reddit`, `asana`. Companies on a different ATS (Lever, Ashby, Workday) are returned with a clear "not found on Greenhouse" note rather than failing.
- **notionConnector** — optional Notion MCP connector. Blank = dataset-only.
- **notionParentId** — optional Notion page ID to create the database under.

### Example output

```json
{
  "company": "stripe",
  "company_slug": "stripe",
  "open_roles_count": 312,
  "departments": [
    { "department": "Engineering", "open_roles": 118 },
    { "department": "Sales", "open_roles": 41 },
    { "department": "Operations", "open_roles": 22 }
  ],
  "notable_roles": ["Staff Software Engineer", "Account Executive, Mid-Market", "Product Manager, Payments"],
  "locations": [
    { "location": "Remote", "open_roles": 96 },
    { "location": "San Francisco", "open_roles": 44 }
  ],
  "hiring_velocity_note": "expanding eng (118) + sales (41) + ops (22) — 312 open roles total",
  "source": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe",
  "data_source": "greenhouse.io (public job-board API)",
  "as_of_timestamp": "2026-06-13T16:40:00+00:00"
}
```

***

### How it works

The Actor queries the **open, unauthenticated Greenhouse public job-board API** (`boards-api.greenhouse.io`) — the same data that renders on `boards.greenhouse.io/<company>`. No logins, no scraping behind walls, **public data only**. It then aggregates departments, locations, and role titles into a single scorecard and phrases a hiring-velocity summary.

***

### Use cases

- **Recruiters** — spot which competitors are mass-hiring for the exact roles you place.
- **Sales / BD** — a company opening 40 sales roles is a company about to buy sales tooling. Time your outreach.
- **Competitive intel** — track a rival's headcount investment by team, week over week.
- **Investors** — hiring velocity is a leading indicator of growth that shows up before revenue does.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Companies to score, by Greenhouse slug or company name. Names are normalized to slug candidates automatically. Verified-working: stripe, airbnb, anthropic, figma, discord, gitlab, reddit, asana. Companies on a different ATS (Lever, Ashby, Workday) are returned with a 'not found on Greenhouse' note instead of failing.

## `notionConnector` (type: `string`):

Connect your Notion workspace and this Actor builds your hiring-signals database there in the same run — it never sees your Notion credentials. Authorize a Notion MCP connector in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, then select it here. Leave blank to get the dataset only.

## `notionParentId` (type: `string`):

Optional. The Notion page ID to create the hiring-signals database under. If blank, Notion creates it as a private page in your workspace.

{
  "companies": [
    "figma",
