ATS Hiring Monitor API

Detect company hiring changes - not another full job-board dump. Monitor public ATS career pages and receive NEW, REMOVED, and REOPENED job signals in one canonical schema.

✅ What you get / ❌ What this isn't

• ✅ Change events ready for alerts, CRM enrichment, recruiting, and sales signals.
• ✅ Company-level summaries even when nothing changed.
• ✅ Persistent snapshots isolated by monitorName.
• ❌ Not LinkedIn, Indeed, or private applicant data.
• ❌ Not a guarantee that a removed posting represents a filled role.

🔎 Why use this Actor

The Actor supports Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, and Personio. It normalizes their different job identifiers and compares each run with the previous successful snapshot. Failed sources do not overwrite good state, preventing a temporary outage from creating false mass-removal events.

📊 What data you get

Field	Description
changeType	NEW, REMOVED, or REOPENED
company, ats	Normalized source identity
jobId, title, location	Job identity and core attributes
url, applyUrl	Public job and application URLs
detectedAt	Time the change was observed
monitorName	Snapshot namespace used for comparison

👥 Who it's for

• Recruiters watching target employers.
• B2B sales teams using hiring activity as an account signal.
• Investors and analysts tracking company growth or contraction.
• Niche job boards that need scheduled change feeds.

⚙️ How to monitor company hiring

1. Add company ATS slugs or career-page URLs.
2. Choose a stable monitorName and keep it unchanged.
3. Run once to establish a baseline.
4. Schedule the Actor daily or hourly.
5. Send change rows to a webhook, Make, Zapier, Sheets, or your data warehouse.

📥 Input

{
  "monitorName": "ai-companies",
  "companies": ["greenhouse:stripe", "ashby:ramp"],
  "emitInitialSnapshot": true
}

Use full Workday URLs when possible because they include the tenant host and career-site identifier.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• A removed posting means it disappeared from the public ATS snapshot; it may be filled, paused, moved, or unpublished.
• Removal detection is suppressed when maxJobsPerCompany truncates a snapshot, preventing false removals.
• First runs can emit the current snapshot as NEW, or establish a silent baseline.
• Changing monitorName creates a new independent baseline.
• Workday discovery is more request-intensive than explicit Workday career-page URLs.
