## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## ATS Hiring Signal Finder — Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby

**Turn a company's public ATS job board into one scored hiring-signal record.**

### Try it in 60 seconds

- **You give:** company ATS handles (`{"platform":"greenhouse","slug":"stripe"}`) or public board URLs.
- **You get (one row per company):** open-role count, the roles, a deterministic **hiring signal**
  (sales / marketing / technical / operations expansion), locations, a **score**, and evidence job URLs.
- **Price:** $0.01 per company (PAY\_PER\_EVENT).
- **Run it now:** press **Start**, paste a few companies.

### Why this instead of a LinkedIn scraper

It reads companies' **own official public ATS APIs** (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) — durable,
ToS-safe, no login, no browser, no paid upstream. Fresh, structured, one row per company.

**Real sample (live):** `greenhouse/stripe` → 491 open roles, signal `technical_product_investment`;
`ashby/ramp` → 122 roles; `greenhouse/gitlab` → 138 roles.

### Input

| Field | Notes |
|-------|-------|
| `companies` | array of `{platform, slug}`, platform ∈ greenhouse|lever|ashby |
| `boardUrls` | or paste `boards.greenhouse.io/x`, `jobs.lever.co/x`, `jobs.ashbyhq.com/x` |
| `maxCompanies` | cap (default 100) |

### Output

`company`, `platform`, `open_roles`, `roles`, `locations`, `hiring_signal`, `signal_reasons`,
`signal_score`, `score_reasons`, `board_url`, `evidence_job_urls`, `status`.

### For agents & automation

One Apify API call returns a dataset of scored, deduped company hiring signals — feed a CRM,
an outbound workflow, or a scheduled recurring buying-signal feed. Public data only.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "companies": [
        {
            "platform": "greenhouse",
            "slug": "stripe"
        },

        }
    ],
    "boardUrls": [
        "https://boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("qualifyops/ats-hiring-signal-finder").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
