Where Steve looks

Steve finds the jobs itself. It reads the competitor's careers page and the job boards behind it. It recognizes 52 applicant tracking systems and job boards. It reads 14 of them through their APIs, such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and SmartRecruiters. It reads the other 38 from their pages, such as HRMOS, HERP and Wantedly. It also reads custom careers pages. To find a board, it also tries the company's domain name plus jobs or careers, for example HubSpot's Greenhouse board hubspotjobs. When it finds no board, it falls back to Google Jobs.

What you get

The first check sends every job that is open today as jobs.new. A large company can have thousands of open jobs, so the first check can create thousands of events at once. Slack still gets one message per check, for example 💼 Acme · 3,000 new jobs found, with a link to all of them in Signals. Plan your webhook receiver for the volume.

After that, each check compares the jobs with the last check:

A job appears → jobs.new.
A job changes → jobs.updated. Signals watches the title, department, team, locations, workplace type, employment type and salary. changes lists each field with its value before and after. A changed description or category is ignored.
A job closes → jobs.removed. The event carries the job's last known values with status: "closed".

Removals need a complete read

Signals reports a job as removed only when it read every board in full. If a board fails or comes back partial, the check sends no jobs.removed events. The job is reported later, once a check reads everything.

A check that used Google Jobs results never sends jobs.removed. Google Jobs shows a different sample of jobs each time, so a missing job there does not mean it closed.

In your webhook

Each change is one event with eventType: "jobs". jobResponse has the job's fields. jobResponse.changes is filled only on jobs.updated. The full key list is on Job posting events. A webhook gets one POST per check (a run webhook) and reads these events from its pages.
