# Job postings are buying signals.
> A company hiring for the role your product serves is a company with budget. Track your target accounts and know the day they start. Alerts in Slack, minutes after posting.
A company hiring SDRs is buying sales tools. A company hiring data engineers is standing up infrastructure. When a target account posts the role your product serves, that's budget, timing, and a named team, published in public. Slash Trace watches your account list and tells you the day it happens.
## 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. Sales teams use it to treat job postings as buying signals on target accounts.
## Why sales teams track job postings
Your signal tools bill per credit and drown you in every job on earth. Your SDRs check LinkedIn when they remember to. By the time the intent data updates, three competitors already called. The posting was public the whole time. Nobody was watching.
## How to track hiring at target accounts
From asking to knowing. Runs at three speeds. Start by asking. End up never needing to.
1. **Ask**: "Which of my accounts posted GTM roles this month?" Your agent reads the live pages and answers with roles, locations, and posted times.
2. **Scheduled**: Your agent checks on a cadence and briefs your pipeline review. Monday morning: every account that started hiring last week, with the roles that signal budget for you.
3. **Notify**: Slack ping the moment a tracked account posts. Role, team, direct link. Your rep calls while the hiring manager still has the req open in another tab.
## What sales teams ask
- Which target accounts started hiring SDRs this quarter?
- Alert me when anyone on my list hires a Head of Data.
- Which accounts are hiring for roles our product serves?
- Send new DevOps postings at tier-1 accounts to #outbound.
## Job postings vs intent data
Intent scores are inferred. A job posting is a company spending money in public, with the team name on it. No modeling, no decay windows, no per-credit billing. You pick the accounts. Flat price. $99/mo tracks 150 of them, checked every 15 minutes, wired into Slack and your CRM through webhooks.
## How Slash Trace reads careers pages other tools can't
Your accounts don't all use Greenhouse. We read JavaScript-gated pages, bot-blocked pages, and custom sites with no ATS. If the job loads in a browser, Slash Trace sees it. 50+ ATS platforms covered out of the box.

## Questions
### How is this different from intent data platforms?
They infer interest from content consumption and bill per credit. We report a fact: this account posted this role at this time. You choose the accounts, the price stays flat.
### Can alerts go into our CRM?
Yes, through webhooks on Ultra. Structured role events: company, title, team, location, posted time, link. Zapier covers the rest.
### Does my team need AI agents for this?
No. Slack and email alerts work on their own. The agent connection is one more way in.
### How do I get alerted when a company is hiring for a specific role?
Track the company, filter by role type, get Slack, email, or webhook alerts. Free for 5 companies.
### What job titles signal buying intent?
Depends what you sell. Hiring SDRs signals sales tooling budget, data engineers signal infrastructure, compliance roles signal regulatory spend. You define which titles matter per account list.
### Can I track competitor hiring too?
Yes. A competitor's job postings show their roadmap in public. Same watchlist, different list.
