# Stop refreshing their careers page. We'll do it.
> Stop refreshing careers pages. Pick the companies you want to work for and get an alert the moment they post your role. Free for 5 companies. Feeds your auto-applier agent too.
You have a list. The five or ten companies you'd actually leave your job for. Slash Trace watches their careers pages and tells you the moment your role appears, while the posting is minutes old and the applicant count says 3.
## What Slash Trace is
Slash Trace is a careers-page monitoring tool. You pick companies, it watches their job postings, and it alerts you or your AI agent the moment a role appears. It reads 50+ ATS platforms plus JavaScript-gated and bot-blocked pages that other monitors can't. Job seekers use it to catch openings at specific companies within minutes of posting.
## Why early applications get read
Popular roles collect hundreds of applications in the first week. Most recruiters read the early ones properly and skim the rest. Applying on day one with a tailored note gets read. Applying in week two joins a pile. The difference between those two outcomes is knowing the posting exists, and that's the whole product.
## How to get job alerts for specific companies
From asking to knowing. Runs at three speeds. Start by asking. End up never needing to.
1. **Ask**: Connect your agent and ask. "Anything new at Anthropic this week?" It reads the live page and answers.
2. **Scheduled**: "Check my list every morning and tell me if my role shows up." Your agent briefs you with your coffee. Nothing new, no noise.
3. **Notify**: Email the moment a tracked company posts. Title, location, direct link. Apply while the role is hours old.
## What job seekers ask
- Tell me the second Anthropic posts a design role.
- Watch these 10 companies for senior PM openings.
- Feed new roles at my list into my auto-applier agent.
## Don't job boards (like Indeed) show every opening?
No. Plenty of roles only ever appear on the company's own site, and boards syndicate with a lag. The source page is always first, which is why Slash Trace reads the careers page itself rather than a feed of it.
## Connect your job-search agent
For the agent-pilled: Slash Trace speaks MCP. Point your auto-applier, your CV-tailoring agent, or your own scripts at your watchlist and let them react to postings without you in the loop. The API returns structured roles: title, team, location, seniority, posted time, link.
## Works on any careers page, even the weird ones
Dream companies are the worst offenders for weird careers pages. JavaScript-only rendering, bot walls, custom sites with no ATS. We read all of it. If the job loads in a browser, Slash Trace sees it. 50+ ATS platforms covered out of the box.
## Pricing

## Questions
### Is free actually free?
Yes. 5 companies, daily checks, in-app alerts, no card.
### Can it apply for me?
Slash Trace finds and structures the roles. Applying is your job, or your agent's. The MCP and API connections exist for exactly that handoff.
### What if my company uses some obscure careers site?
Paste the URL. If the page loads in a browser, we can watch it.
### How do I get notified when a specific company posts a job?
Paste the careers URL, pick your role filters, done. Free for 5 companies.
### Don't job boards (like Indeed) show every opening?
No. Plenty of roles only ever appear on the company's own site, and boards syndicate with a lag. The source page is always first.
### How is this different from LinkedIn job alerts?
LinkedIn covers jobs posted to LinkedIn. We watch the company's own careers page, which updates first and includes roles never cross-posted.
