# Be first when your clients start hiring.
> Every placement starts with knowing a role exists. Track your clients' careers pages and know within minutes, with your candidate bench ready. Works with Claude and any MCP agent.
Your client posts a role. Somewhere between that moment and your next check-in call, the placement gets decided. Slash Trace watches every client's careers page and tells you within minutes, so you're the first call the hiring manager gets, with candidates already attached.
## 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. Recruiting agencies use it to know when clients and prospects start hiring.
## Track client hiring and find new clients
Your prospects. A company posting roles is a company that needs hiring help this quarter. Track the firms you want as clients and reach out the week they're in pain, about the exact role they just opened. Best cold email you'll ever send, and it writes itself.
## How client hiring alerts work
From asking to knowing. Runs at three speeds. Start by asking. End up never needing to.
1. **Ask**: "Did any of my clients post engineering roles today?" Your agent reads the live pages and answers with roles and posted times.
2. **Scheduled**: The morning digest writes itself. Every new role across your book, matched against your candidate bench, outreach drafts attached. Coffee, read, send.
3. **Notify**: Some roles can't wait. Slack or email the moment a tracked page changes, checked every 15 minutes on Ultra. Interim CFO posted at 14:01, you're on the phone at 14:20.
## What recruiters ask
- Did any of my clients post engineering roles today?
- Which client hasn't posted anything in 90 days?
- Compare this week's postings to my candidate bench.
- Which agencies-worth prospects in Berlin started hiring this month?
## What a missed placement costs
One placement is worth $15K to $30K to your firm. Ultra costs $99/mo and watches 150 companies around the clock. That's $0.66 per company. Miss one role a year that a competitor caught, and you paid for two decades of Slash Trace.
## Careers-page monitoring that works on any ATS
Your clients don't all use Greenhouse. We read JavaScript-gated pages, bot-blocked pages, and custom sites with no ATS at all. If the job loads in a browser, Slash Trace sees it. 50+ ATS platforms out of the box.

## Questions
### My clients tell me when they're hiring. Why do I need this?
Some do. The ones that post first and call their agencies second are the placements you're losing without knowing it. Day 9 is when most agencies find out. The role went live on day 1.
### Can I track prospects, or only clients?
Any company with a careers page. Most agencies split their list: current clients for speed, target clients for outreach timing.
### Does it work with my ATS?
Alerts arrive by email, Slack, or webhook, so they land wherever your workflow lives. Direct ATS integrations come through Zapier and the API.
### How do recruiters find out when clients are hiring?
Usually the check-in call or a LinkedIn post, both days late. A careers-page monitor closes the gap to minutes.
### What's the best way to monitor client job postings?
Track the careers page directly. Job boards lag and miss roles that never leave the company site.
### Can I get alerts for specific role types only?
Yes. Filter by title, department, seniority, or location so a warehouse client's office-admin posting doesn't ping your tech desk.
