Hiring Signals Scraper (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable)

What is Hiring Signals Scraper?

Hiring Signals Scraper is an Apify Actor that reads the official public job-board data of ten modern applicant tracking systems — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Personio, Teamtailor, BambooHR and Workday — and returns either one clean row per open job or one hiring summary per company. Give it an ATS slug like stripe or a board URL like https://jobs.lever.co/spotify; it hits documented endpoints such as boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/<slug>/jobs, so there is no headless browser, no proxy, and nothing to get blocked by.

A bare slug is probed against every board except Workday in parallel, and every board that actually has postings is returned, so you do not need to know which ATS a company runs. Workday needs a full board URL — it identifies a company by a tenant and a site, which no single slug carries.

What data does Hiring Signals Scraper extract?

In One row per job mode each row is a single posting:

Field	Type	Description
company / companyName	string	Your input value, and the company name the API reports
ats	string	greenhouse, lever, ashby, workable, smartrecruiters, recruitee, personio, teamtailor, bamboohr or workday
jobId	string	The board's own posting ID
title	string	Job title
department / team	string	Org unit and sub-team, where the board exposes both
location	string	Location as the board publishes it
isRemote	boolean	From the board's own remote flag, else the location text
employmentType	string	e.g. Full-time, Permanent, FullTime (raw per ATS)
postedAt	string	ISO date the posting first went live
url	string	Public job page
salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency	number/string	Ashby and Recruitee boards that publish pay ranges
description	string	Plain text, HTML stripped, max 5,000 chars (optional)
error / scrapedAt	string	Per-row error, timestamp

In One row per company mode each row is a hiring summary: totalJobs, remoteJobs, jobsByDepartment, jobsByLocation (top 10), newestPostedAt, oldestPostedAt, jobsPostedLast30Days, topTitles (5 newest), boardUrl and hiringVelocity — high (20+ new jobs in 30 days), medium (5+), low (1+) or none.

Pricing

Hiring Signals Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.002 per result row ($2 per 1,000 jobs or company summaries), plus a negligible $0.00005 actor-start fee, with platform usage included. Most boards are one HTTP request no matter how many jobs they hold (SmartRecruiters and Workday paginate internally for very large boards, still one billed row per job or company), so a 500-company sweep in companies mode costs about $1. Set Maximum cost per run to cap spend — the Actor trims its own work to fit and never pushes a row it cannot charge for.

Hiring Signals Scraper vs. scraping job boards yourself

Writing ten ATS clients means ten payload shapes (JSON, an XML feed and an RSS feed among them), a dozen date formats (Lever ships epoch milliseconds, Workable a bare YYYY-MM-DD, Workday only a relative string like "Posted 3 Days Ago"), HTML-escaped descriptions on Greenhouse and Teamtailor, a POST-with-pagination search API on Workday, and a separate detail call per job on Workable. This Actor normalises all of that into one schema, and handles the traps: Workable answers HTTP 200 with an empty job list for many slugs it merely reserves — including stripe — so a naive "200 means yes" probe mislabels the ATS. Here a board only counts when it actually has postings.

Using Hiring Signals Scraper with AI agents and MCP

This Actor runs on pay-per-event pricing with limited permissions — the two requirements for an Actor to be callable through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com. An agent passes companies and outputMode and gets structured rows back, with no HTML to parse. It also connects via n8n, Make, Zapier and LangChain through Apify's integrations.

FAQ

Which ATS platforms are supported? Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Personio, Teamtailor, BambooHR and Workday. Boards on SuccessFactors, iCIMS, JazzHR or Taleo return error: "Not found on <the boards a bare slug was checked against>". Workday is the one exception to bare-slug probing — paste its full board URL (https://<tenant>.wd<N>.myworkdayjobs.com/<site>) instead of a slug.

Why does a company show 0 jobs? The board exists but has nothing published. jobs.lever.co/lever and apply.workable.com/typeform are both live, empty boards today — you still get a row, with error: "No open jobs found".

Are salaries included? Only where the board publishes them, which in practice means Ashby's compensation API and, less often, Recruitee. Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Personio, Teamtailor, BambooHR and Workday return null salary fields.

Why is description always null for SmartRecruiters and Workday? Both boards' public list endpoints report metadata only — the job body lives behind a separate per-posting detail call, which this Actor skips to avoid doubling the request count. Every other supported ATS returns a description when Include job descriptions is on.

Does maxJobsPerCompany affect company summaries? No. In companies mode the summary always counts the whole board, otherwise totalJobs and hiringVelocity would silently understate the truth.

Is this legal to run? The Actor reads only public job listings that companies publish for candidates, and collects no personal data. You are responsible for complying with the boards' terms and applicable law.

Can I schedule it? Yes — run it daily and diff jobId values to detect new and closed roles.
