Hiring Intent — Target Account Job Board Watcher 🎯

Watch your target companies' Greenhouse and Lever job boards for fresh openings — a company hiring for a specific role usually means fresh budget for the tools that role needs.

Searches this actor ranks for: hiring intent leads, job posting buying signals, Greenhouse job board API, Lever job board API, account-based sales triggers, B2B lead generation from job postings, ATS monitoring.

Why a fresh job posting is a buying signal

"Companies hiring for X are shopping for Y" is one of the oldest B2B sales triggers: a company hiring a DevOps engineer is a live prospect for DevOps tooling, a company hiring its first Sales Ops hire is shopping for a CRM/analytics stack, a company hiring a Security Engineer just got budget approved for security tooling. Sales and recruiting teams have used this signal for years — the problem is reliably tracking it without either paying for an expensive intent-data platform or burning time checking career pages by hand.

Thousands of companies — most tech startups included — host their open roles on Greenhouse or Lever, both of which expose a fully public, unauthenticated, versioned JSON API meant for exactly this kind of consumption. No login, no scraping fragility, no anti-bot wall.

Who uses this and for what

Persona	Use it to...
SDR / sales teams running ABM	Get pinged the week a target account opens a role that signals budget for your product
Recruiters / staffing agencies	Track which companies on a client list are actively scaling a given function
VC / PE associates	Watch portfolio companies' hiring pace as a proxy for growth stage
Competitive intelligence	Track a competitor's hiring focus (which teams are growing) without reading every job board by hand
Vendors selling to a specific role (DevOps tools, sales enablement, security)	Get a fresh, filtered feed of exactly the companies hiring that role right now

vs. the alternatives

	Hiring Intent	Google-Jobs-based scrapers	Manually checking career pages
Data source	Direct public ATS APIs (Greenhouse/Lever)	Scraped search results, anti-bot-prone	Whatever's on the page
Reliability	Structured JSON, versioned public API	Breaks when Google changes result markup	Manual, doesn't scale
Freshness filter	✅ Built in (days-since-posted)	Varies	None
Setup	Run it with a company list	Search-query based	Bookmark every career page

The honest tradeoff

This actor watches a list of companies you already care about — it does not discover new companies hiring for a role across the whole web (that would require scraping a search engine, which is exactly the fragile approach this actor avoids). If your workflow is account-based (you already have a target list — an ICP, a client roster, a competitor set), this is a much more reliable way to monitor it than search-based scraping. If you need open-ended "find me any company anywhere hiring a DevOps engineer," this isn't that tool.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No — both Greenhouse and Lever's public job board APIs are open, no auth.

How do I find a company's board token? It's usually right in their careers page URL: boards.greenhouse.io/<token> or jobs.lever.co/<token>.

What if a company isn't on Greenhouse or Lever? It's silently skipped — no error, just no results for that entry (many large enterprises use other ATS platforms like Workday, not covered here).

Is this legal / against any ToS? Yes it's fine — both APIs are public, documented-by-convention endpoints meant to power exactly this kind of external job listing consumption (that's literally why companies embed them on their own sites).
