# Hiring Signals

Brief a company's hiring and watch companies for new and closed roles. It is free, with no sign-up and no key.

## What it does

Hiring Signals tells you which companies are hiring, for what, and what changed since you last looked.

Ask "what is Snap hiring for?", "how fast is Airbnb hiring this month?" or "watch Stripe, Ramp and Linear and tell me about new roles".

It reads the public job boards companies publish on 30 hiring systems, Workday included. A history store reads thousands of boards every day and keeps every role it sees, so it can count the roles opened and closed over 7, 30 and 90 days and week by week.

A watch follows up to 25 companies. The first call records every open role; each later call with the same watch key returns only the roles opened and closed since the last call.

Paid calls use x402: 0.005 US dollars per company lookup and 0.01 US dollars per watch call that reports a change. A watch call with no change costs nothing. Calls without a payment are free within the shared daily limits.

It stores the companies on a watch and the ids of the roles it has seen, under a hash of the watch key, and nothing about you.

- Briefs one company's hiring: open roles by department and country, newest roles
