## 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

## Hiring Signal Leads — 14,010+ Companies + Verified Email

A company posting "Head of Sales" is **actively buying sales tools right now**.  
This actor monitors **14,010+ company ATS boards** — and the moment a buying-signal title appears, it returns the hiring manager's **name**, **LinkedIn**, and **verified email**.

No subscription. No stale database. **Pay only for verified results.**

---

### What you get

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Company | HubSpot |
| Job posting | *Head of Sales — New York* |
| ATS source | Greenhouse |
| Decision-maker | James Stone, VP Revenue |
| LinkedIn | linkedin.com/in/jamesstone |
| Email | james.stone@hubspot.com |
| Email status | ✅ valid |

---

### How it works

1. **Signal** — polls 14,010+ Greenhouse / Ashby / Lever / SmartRecruiters / Workday / Jobvite / Taleo / iCIMS boards for your target job titles
2. **Contact** — finds the matching decision-maker (not the open role) via LinkedIn
3. **Email** — verifies deliverability before charging

You define the signal titles. We do the rest.

---

### Pricing

| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Signal found | $0.002 | Job posting matched |
| Decision-maker found | $0.05 | Contact resolved (includes LinkedIn lookup + email enrichment) |
| Verified email | $0.004 | Only if `status = valid` |

**Max $0.056 per lead.** You are never charged for bounces, catch-all domains, or unresolved contacts.

> **Note:** The $0.05 decision-maker price is effective from 2026-07-14.

---

### Input

```json
{
  "signalTitles": ["Head of Sales", "VP Sales", "Director of Sales"],
  "decisionMakerTitles": ["CRO", "VP Sales", "VP Revenue", "Chief Revenue Officer"],
  "geoMode": "us",
  "maxLeads": 50,
  "includeDecisionMaker": true,
  "includeVerifiedEmail": true
}
````

| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `signalTitles` | Job titles that indicate a buying signal (what they're **hiring**) | required |
| `decisionMakerTitles` | Who to contact — the hiring **manager**, not the role being hired | defaults to signalTitles |
| `geoMode` | `"us"` or `"world_ex_gdpr"` | `"us"` |
| `maxLeads` | 1–500 | 20 |
| `includeDecisionMaker` | Find the decision-maker's LinkedIn + email | true |
| `includeVerifiedEmail` | Verify email deliverability | true |
| `companySlugs` | Override with specific boards (e.g. `greenhouse:stripe`) | — |

> **Tip:** `signalTitles` and `decisionMakerTitles` serve different purposes.\
> If a company is hiring a *Head of Sales*, the **signal** is "Head of Sales" but the **decision-maker** to contact is their *CRO* or *VP Revenue* — whoever manages that hire.

No personal data is stored between runs. Email verification is performed on-demand only.

# Actor input Schema

## `signalTitles` (type: `array`):

Job titles that indicate a buying signal. The actor polls ATS boards and keeps only postings matching these titles.

## `geoMode` (type: `string`):

Filter job postings by geography. 'US only' keeps US-based roles. 'Worldwide (excl. GDPR)' adds AU, SG, IN, MX, IL, JP and other non-GDPR markets.

## `decisionMakerTitles` (type: `array`):

LinkedIn titles of the person to CONTACT — typically the hiring manager, not the role being posted. Example: if you signal on 'Head of Sales', contact the 'CRO' or 'VP Sales' who manages that hire.

## `maxLeads` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of leads to return.

## `includeDecisionMaker` (type: `boolean`):

Look up the decision-maker at each company via LinkedIn, including email enrichment. All-in price of $0.05 per contact found — you are never charged when only a non-decision-maker is returned.

## `includeVerifiedEmail` (type: `boolean`):

Verify email deliverability via SMTP. Billed ONLY when email is confirmed valid — never charged for bounces, catch-all, or risky results.

## `companySlugs` (type: `array`):

Override the built-in directory with specific ATS boards. Format: 'greenhouse:stripe', 'ashby:notion', 'lever:hubspot'. Leave empty to use the built-in directory of 6000+ companies.
