Hiring signals for recruiting leads
Recruiters and staffing teams want to reach a company while it is ramping up. The daily change in open roles, and in which departments, shows who is ramping now, before the posts spread to job aggregators.
How
- Call
/v1/changesdaily and keep companies whose count rose. - Open
/v1/company/{host}for the ones that fit; the department counts show where the growth is.
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" https://company-signals.lastminutedeals.workers.dev/v1/company/example-co.test
{
"host": "example-co.test",
"matched_by": "host",
"boards": [{"kind": "ashby", "token": "example-co", "matched_by": "host", "source_url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/example-co"}],
"series": [
{"day": "2026-10-12", "board_kind": "ashby", "open_count": 14, "depts": {"Engineering": 9, "Sales": 3, "Operations": 2}},
{"day": "2026-10-13", "board_kind": "ashby", "open_count": 17, "depts": {"Engineering": 10, "Sales": 5, "Operations": 2}}
]

Limits to plan for
- The API gives counts and departments, not job titles, contacts or people. Go to the company's board (the response links it) for the roles.
- Coverage leans to venture-backed software companies.
- Department names are the company's own and are not standardised.
