Sales trigger events
A company opening five data-engineering roles is about to buy data infrastructure. Run delta mode daily over your prospect list and route new postings by department into your CRM as timed outreach triggers.

Hiring signals
ATS Job Scraper API — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby
The ATS Job Board Scraper is an API that collects structured job postings across Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby from a plain list of company names, in one normalized schema — and in delta mode returns only what changed since the last run: which companies opened new roles and which postings quietly disappeared.
Capabilities
What it does
Workday is first-class, not an afterthought
Most job scrapers stop at Greenhouse and Lever because they have friendly APIs. Workday hosts most Fortune 500 careers sites, and this actor speaks its native wday/cxs JSON protocol: automatic tenant discovery from a bare company name, full pagination, relative-date normalization.
Delta mode = hiring signals
The actor fingerprints every run in a key-value store; the next delta run emits only change: “new” and change: “removed” postings. Scheduled daily against a prospect list, that diff is the signal recruiters, sales teams and investors actually pay for.
One schema across all four ATS systems
Company, title, department, location, remote flag, employment type, posted/updated dates, apply URL — identical fields whether the source was Workday or Ashby. No per-ATS parsing on your side, ever.
Graceful discovery
Plain names are auto-discovered on every enabled source; companies that can't be found are logged and skipped — never a crashed run.

Playbook
How people use it
Recruiting intelligence
Track which competitors are hiring for what, where — and which searches quietly closed. Removed postings are as informative as new ones.
Investment research
Hiring velocity by department is an alternative-data signal for private and public companies alike. A normalized daily feed across four ATS systems makes it measurable.
Job boards and aggregators
Seed a niche job board from the source ATS systems with one schema, instead of maintaining four scrapers.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which ATS platforms are supported?
Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby — one actor, one normalized schema. Workday support is native (wday/cxs protocol), including tenant auto-discovery and full pagination.
How does delta mode work?
Each run persists a fingerprint of every posting. The next delta run compares against it and emits only records with change: “new” or change: “removed” — you pay only for the diff, not the whole board.
Can I filter to remote roles or keywords?
Yes — keywords, locations and a remoteOnly flag are built in, applied before rows are billed.
Do I need the board URL for each company?
No. Plain company names are auto-discovered on every enabled source; URLs or source prefixes (lever:palantir) are only needed to pin ambiguous cases.
