# Monitor competitor job postings on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby

**Use case:** 

Watch a list of competitors' job boards and get new and closed roles since the last run, open-role counts by department and location, and a hiring-velocity score. Counts only, so it stays cheap to schedule daily or weekly. Swap in your own competitors and keep a separate watchlist name per list.

## Input

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "greenhouse:stripe",
    "ashby:openai",
    "lever:palantir"
  ],
  "includeJobs": false,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 100,
  "summaryChars": 280,
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "stateStoreName": "competitor-hiring-watch"
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "input": {
    "label": "Input",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "openRoles": {
    "label": "Open roles",

  "changes.previousSnapshotAt": {

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/reynolds/company-hiring-signals.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
