Hiring Signals: New Job Postings by Company

Watch companies' Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby careers pages and get only the new job postings since your last run. Hiring is one of the clearest buying signals there is: a company opening ten sales roles is scaling a sales team; one opening a data-platform lead is about to buy tools. Schedule this Actor and the signals arrive without you checking a single careers page.

What is Hiring Signals?

It is an Apify Actor that remembers which jobs it has already shown you for each company and reports only the new ones, with department, location, posted date, pay range and apply link. Each run also writes a hiring snapshot: how many jobs each company has open, how that changed, how many closed, and its biggest departments.

What makes it different?

• Only new postings. You pay for new signals, not for the same board every day.
• Hiring snapshot per company. Open jobs now, change since last run, jobs closed and top departments, so you can see velocity, not just a list.
• Filters for your use case. Watch only sales roles, only engineering, only remote, or only one region.
• Works across three ATS platforms with one format.

The SUMMARY record holds the hiring snapshot per company: open jobs, change since last run, closed jobs, new postings and top departments.

How to track company hiring signals

1. Add the companies to watch (slugs, ats:slug or careers URLs).
2. Optionally restrict by keywords, department, location or remote.
3. Run it once to see the recent past (the first run looks back as many days as you set).
4. Create a Schedule (daily or weekly) and send the output to email, Slack, a CRM, Make, n8n or Zapier.

{
    "companies": [
        "ashby:ramp"
    ],
    "lookbackDays": 3650,
    "onlyNew": false,
    "maxNewJobsPerCompany": 5
}

• lookbackDays: on a company's first run, report jobs published in the last N days.
• onlyNew: on by default. Each later run reports only postings not reported before.
• keywords / departments / locations: narrow the signal. Changing them starts a fresh memory for that company.

How much does hiring-signal monitoring cost?

You pay per company checked, plus a small charge per new job reported returned plus a very small start fee. There is no subscription.

Companies checked	Approximate cost
1	$0.01
10	$0.10
50	$0.50
100	$1

Paid Apify plans get tiered discounts, and you can set a maximum cost per run. You can try it on Apify's free plan without a card.

Who is it for?

• Sales and revenue teams targeting companies that are hiring for a relevant function.
• Recruiting and staffing agencies spotting new demand early.
• Investors and analysts tracking growth by hiring velocity.
• Competitive-intelligence teams watching what rivals build.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a jobs scraper? A scraper returns every open job each time. This returns only what is new since last time, plus a snapshot of how hiring is changing.

Which companies work? Any company whose careers page runs on Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby.

Will I get the same job twice? No. Each company remembers the jobs it has reported, per filter set.

What does a run cost? A small charge per company checked plus a small charge per new job reported. A quiet week costs only the company checks.

What if an ATS changes its API? The run fails with an explicit error instead of returning empty data, and the Actor is health-checked every night.

Notes and limits

• Hiring is a signal, not proof of intent. Use it to prioritise outreach, not to assume what a company will buy.
• Reads public job-board endpoints that the platforms provide for this purpose.
