Job posting alerts
Stop refreshing a careers page by hand. Paste the URL, select the job listings, and SiteMonit checks it on a schedule — email, Telegram, Slack or webhook the moment something is added or removed.
Free plan: 5 pages, checks every 15 minutes, no card. Works on Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby and most company career sites.
Job seekers
Job boards show you what's already been posted and indexed — often a day or more after the role went live, and after dozens of other applicants saw it too. Watching the employer's own careers page means you see a new opening the moment it's up, sometimes before it's even on LinkedIn or Indeed.
Recruiters & sales teams
A competitor suddenly posting five backend roles suggests a platform rebuild. A wave of enterprise AE postings suggests a go-to-market push. Sourcers use the same signal to find companies that are actively growing and likely to need more people soon. Watching a careers page turns that into a real-time feed instead of a quarterly guess.
Step 1
The company's own jobs page — not a job board listing. Most run on Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, or a custom page; all render the same way to SiteMonit.
Step 2
Draw a box around the job list, or click the container element. This keeps the monitor focused on postings and ignores unrelated changes elsewhere on the page.
Step 3
Every 15 minutes on the free plan, down to every 2 minutes on paid plans. Faster checks matter more if you're racing to be an early applicant or tracking same-day hiring bursts.
Step 4
Email or Telegram on every plan, Slack and webhooks from $59/mo. The alert links straight to the diff, so you see exactly which listing was added, removed, or reworded.
A word-level diff catches more than "a job appeared." Here's what shows up in practice.
The obvious case. You get the title, and often the team or level, in the alert itself so you can decide whether to open the page at all.
Useful for reading how fast a company hires, and for job seekers deciding whether it's still worth applying to a role that's been up for months (a sign it's a "ghost" posting or a hard-to-fill one).
A "Senior Engineer" role quietly becoming "Staff Engineer," or a role getting re-leveled, often means the hiring bar or budget shifted. A word-level diff shows the exact text that changed, not just "this page is different."
A role switching from "Remote" to "Hybrid — SF" or gaining a new office location is easy to miss on a manual glance and easy to catch in a diff.
Several roles in the same function appearing within days of each other. This is the pattern recruiters and sales teams actually watch for — it points at a specific initiative, not general headcount growth.
Some career pages show an open count per team. A jump from "3 open roles" to "11 open roles" is a fast read on where a company is investing, without opening a single listing.
Job postings are one of the few growth signals a company can't easily hide: they have to be public to attract applicants. A few patterns worth watching across a set of competitor or prospect career pages:
Most people tracking hiring signals want more than one company. Add each competitor's or prospect's careers page as its own monitor, route them all to one Slack channel or webhook, and you get a single feed of hiring activity across your whole watchlist instead of a spreadsheet you remember to check monthly.
Career pages hosted on standard ATS platforms — Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, and most custom company pages — work reliably, including ones that render listings with JavaScript. A small number of large enterprise career portals run bot protection aggressive enough to block automated checks entirely, similar to what you'd see on major banks or ticketing sites. When SiteMonit hits that, it reports the block in the check result instead of quietly showing "no changes" as if it had actually looked.
One more limit worth naming: SiteMonit tells you a careers page changed and shows you the diff. It doesn't apply to jobs, doesn't score your fit, and doesn't replace an ATS or a CRM — it's the trigger that tells you it's time to look.
Can I get an alert when a specific company posts a new job?
Yes. Point SiteMonit at the company's careers or jobs page, select the listings area, and it will check on a schedule and alert you when the page changes — a new posting, a removed one, or a reworded title.
Does this work on career sites built with JavaScript, like Greenhouse or Lever?
Yes. SiteMonit renders the page in a real browser before comparing it, so job boards that load listings via JavaScript (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, and most company career pages) work the same as static HTML pages.
How is this different from a job alert on LinkedIn or Indeed?
Job board alerts search across many employers for keywords and only cover postings that board indexed, on its schedule. SiteMonit watches one page you choose — a specific employer's own careers site — and checks on your schedule, so you see a posting as soon as it appears there, sometimes before it reaches the job boards.
Can recruiters or sales teams use this to track competitor hiring?
Yes. Watching a competitor's careers page for new roles is a common way to read hiring signals: a burst of engineering postings suggests a product push, a wave of sales hires suggests a go-to-market expansion. Set one monitor per competitor and get an alert on every posted or removed role.
Will this work on every company's career site?
Most, but not all. Career pages hosted on ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, SmartRecruiters) generally work well. A small number of large enterprise career portals run bot protection aggressive enough to block automated checks; when that happens SiteMonit reports it rather than silently showing "no changes".
