Measured tools (6)

• search_jobs

  Search open job postings read directly from employers' own Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards. Unlike a job board, every result carries the employer's real publish date and age in days, so you can tell a role posted this morning from one that has been open two years.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max results (default 25)
  • query — string — Words in the job title, e.g. 'staff backend engineer'
  • remote — boolean — Only roles flagged remote
  • location — string — Any part of the location string, e.g. 'Berlin', 'California'
  • department — string — Function, e.g. 'Engineering', 'Sales'
  • technology — string — Technology named in the posting, e.g. 'Python', 'Kubernetes'
  • max_age_days — integer — Only roles posted within this many days
  • min_age_days — integer — Only roles OLDER than this many days -- use to hunt stale listings

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• check_company

  Ask whether a company is ACTUALLY hiring, not just whether it has jobs listed. Returns a verdict on the board -- actively_hiring, still_open, gone_quiet or likely_abandoned -- with the age of the newest posting, the median role age, and how many reqs have sat open over 90 days and over a year. This is the check that tells you whether an application or a sales approach is worth the time.

  Parameters:

  • company (required) — string — Company name

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• find_quiet_boards

  Companies still advertising open roles while having posted nothing new in over six months. Strong evidence of a board nobody tidied up after the hiring finished. Useful for striking dead accounts off a prospect list, or for avoiding applications that will never be read.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• find_fresh_boards

  Companies where EVERY currently open role was posted in the last 30 days -- no backlog of applicants ahead of you, and usually a team that just started hiring. For sales, a company that just opened its first roles in a function is one whose budget has recently moved.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• whats_changed

  What actually MOVED, on a list of companies you name or across the whole record. Answers the question a person with a book of accounts has every morning: which of mine changed, and is anyone suddenly ramping? Returns NET movement, because a company that opened 342 roles and closed 317 is churning and one that opened 261 and closed 41 is hiring -- and flags a board whose VERDICT flipped, which is a budget unfreezing and the strongest signal in this data.

  Parameters:

  • days — integer — Window, default 7
  • limit — integer
  • companies — array — Company names to watch. Omit for the whole market.

• hiring_stats

  Market-level hiring numbers measured this morning across every board we read: employers hiring, open roles, how many went up in the last 24 hours, how many have been open over 90 days and over a year, how many boards have gone quiet, and the most in-demand technologies.
