## 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

## ATS Job Scraper & Monitor — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Workable

This **ATS job scraper** extracts live job postings directly from the public job boards of **Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee and Workable** — no browser, no proxies, no LinkedIn scraping. Point it at any list of companies and get clean, structured hiring data in seconds. Enable **monitor mode** and it becomes a **job posting monitor**: scheduled runs return only the postings that appeared since the last run — instant **hiring signals** for sales prospecting, recruiting intelligence and market research.

### Why scrape ATS job boards directly?

- **Fresher than job aggregators** — postings appear here before they reach Indeed or LinkedIn.
- **Stable and reliable** — these are public JSON endpoints, not fragile HTML scraping.
- **Hiring = buying signal.** A company hiring "Salesforce Administrator" is buying Salesforce tooling. A company hiring 5 SDRs is scaling sales. Sales teams use this data to time outreach.
- **AI-agent ready** — flat input, clean JSON output. Works out of the box via MCP for AI agents and LLM pipelines.

### What you get for each job posting

```json
{
  "company": "stripe",
  "ats": "greenhouse",
  "jobId": "gh-7954688",
  "title": "Account Executive, AI Sales",
  "department": "AI GTM Strategy & Solutions",
  "location": "San Francisco, CA",
  "url": "https://stripe.com/jobs/search?gh_jid=7954688",
  "publishedAt": "2026-06-02T08:58:57-04:00",
  "isNew": true,
  "matchedKeywords": ["sales"]
}
````

### How to use it

1. **Add companies** — as plain slugs (`stripe`), explicit pairs (`lever:haus`), or careers-page URLs (`https://boards.greenhouse.io/airbnb`). The ATS is auto-detected.
2. **(Optional) Add keywords** — only jobs matching your keywords (title, department or description) are returned.
3. **(Optional) Enable monitor mode** — and schedule the actor (e.g. daily). Each run returns only NEW postings per company. Combine with a webhook to push new jobs to Slack, email or your CRM.

### Use cases

- **Sales prospecting**: monitor your target account list for hiring signals that indicate budget and initiative.
- **Recruiting intelligence**: track competitor hiring by department and location.
- **Job boards & talent communities**: fresh postings for a niche (e.g. "remote React jobs at startups").
- **Market research**: hiring velocity as a growth indicator for investment analysis.
- **AI agents**: feed structured hiring data to LLM workflows via the Apify MCP server.

### Pricing

Pay per job posting delivered — no subscription, no minimum. You only pay for results.

### FAQ

#### Which ATS platforms are supported?

Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee and Workable. These cover the large majority of startup and mid-market job boards. Missing one you need? Open an issue and it will be added.

#### How do I find a company's slug?

Usually it's the company name in lowercase (e.g. `stripe`). If unsure, paste the careers-page URL and the actor extracts it automatically.

#### Is scraping job boards legal?

The actor only reads the same public JSON endpoints that power each company's own careers page. No login, no personal data, no rate-limit abuse.

#### How does monitor mode work?

The actor keeps a per-company record of previously seen job IDs in a persistent store. On each run it compares current postings against that record and outputs only new ones (`isNew: true`).

#### Can AI agents use this actor?

Yes — the input schema is flat and agent-friendly, and every Apify actor is consumable via the Apify MCP server, so agents can call it as a tool.

#### What happens if a company isn't found?

You are never charged for it. The company is listed in the `NOT_FOUND` record of the run's key-value store and in the run log, and the rest of your list continues processing normally.

# Actor input Schema

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

Company slugs, `ats:slug` pairs, or careers-page URLs. Examples: `stripe`, `lever:netflix`, `https://boards.greenhouse.io/airbnb`. The ATS is auto-detected when not specified.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Only return jobs whose title, department or description contains at least one of these keywords (case-insensitive). Leave empty to return all jobs.

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the actor remembers previously seen postings per company and only outputs jobs that appeared since the last run. Ideal for scheduled runs (hiring signals, alerts).

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on the number of postings returned per company.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "stripe",
    "notion",
    "figma"
  ],
  "keywords": [],
  "monitorMode": false,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 500
}
```
