A company that hires ten engineers, raises a round or wins a public contract needs new tools now. Our monitors watch these signals every day and tell you who is new.

## The task

Timing is half of a good sales email. The same message works much better the week a company starts to grow. But nobody can check hundreds of career pages and filings every day.

Our monitors can. They check job boards, funding filings, startup lists and public tenders on a schedule. Each run shows only what is new since the last run.

| By hand | With our Actors |
|---|---|
| Check career pages one by one | New job posts from 15+ hiring systems in one feed |
| Hear about a funding round weeks later | New Form D filings every morning |
| Miss public tenders in your field | New tenders and federal awards by keyword |
| Send the same email to everyone | Write to companies that just started to grow |

## How it works

1. **Watch sources**: Career pages, SEC filings, tenders, startup lists
2. **Run daily**: A schedule on Apify, no server to run
3. **Keep only new**: Each run marks new, changed and removed items
4. **Alert the team**: Email, Slack, CRM task or Google Sheets

3. **Schedule it**: Run the monitor every day. It remembers what it saw last time.
4. **Get only news**: Each run gives only new items. No noise from old posts.
5. **Act fast**: Send new signals to your CRM or team chat with Make, Zapier or n8n.

Example result row: company = Acme Robotics, signal = new job post, title = Head of Growth, location = Berlin, first_seen = 2026-10-14, change = new, url = boards.greenhouse.io/…

Send the data to: HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n.

## Questions

### What is a buying signal?

An event that shows a company may need to buy soon. For example: new hires in one team, a funding round, a new office or a won contract.

### How do the monitors know what is new?

Each monitor saves what it saw in the last run. The next run compares and marks items as new, changed or removed.

### Which hiring systems do you cover?

Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Personio and many more. See [Jobs and hiring](/actors/jobs/).

### Can I get the alerts in Slack?

Yes. Connect the run to Slack with Make, Zapier or n8n. Apify can also call a webhook after each run.
