# Buying signals: hiring SaaS companies with no CRM detected

**Use case:** 

Finds growth-without-a-CRM buying signals for Notion, Plaid, Vercel and Linear: each is actively hiring on a public job board and no CRM script (Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, Pipedrive, Zoho SalesIQ, Freshsales) loads on its homepage, so its hiring score gets the documented 1.5x boost, capped at 100.

## Input

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "notion.so",
    "plaid.com",
    "vercel.com",
    "linear.app"
  ],
  "targetCategory": "CRM",
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

## About this Actor

## 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/siftsmith/buyer-intent-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`).
