Hiring Surge Detector with Slack Alert
Detects when a target account's open-role count jumps above its recent baseline and posts a ranked Slack alert to the GTM channel so reps can act on a company that is clearly…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Watches the volume of open roles per account and flags surges. When a company's active postings rise meaningfully versus its trailing average, it computes the percentage jump, summarizes which departments are growing, and pushes a prioritized alert to Slack so sellers reach out while the buying signal is hot.
When to use it
Use it when raw posting logs are too noisy and you only want the moments that matter: a company going from 3 to 18 openings, or a sudden engineering ramp. Best for teams who already log postings (via the watchlist workflow) and want momentum detection on top.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule fires the run.
- 2Apify scrapes current open-role counts for each watchlist account.
- 3Compare each account's current count to its trailing 30-day baseline stored in Postgres.
- 4Branch: only continue for accounts exceeding the surge threshold.
- 5Build a ranked summary with department breakdown and percent change.
- 6Post the alert to the GTM Slack channel.
