    Description, as the server wrote it
    Ask whether a company is ACTUALLY hiring, not just whether it has jobs listed. Returns a verdict on the board -- actively_hiring, still_open, gone_quiet or likely_abandoned -- with the age of the newest posting, the median role age, and how many reqs have sat open over 90 days and over a year. This is the check that tells you whether an application or a sales approach is worth the time.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Market-level hiring numbers measured this morning across every board we read: employers hiring, open roles, how many went up in the last 24 hours, how many have been open over 90 days and over a year, how many boards have gone quiet, and the most in-demand technologies.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    What actually MOVED, on a list of companies you name or across the whole record. Answers the question a person with a book of accounts has every morning: which of mine changed, and is anyone suddenly ramping? Returns NET movement, because a company that opened 342 roles and closed 317 is churning and one that opened 261 and closed 41 is hiring -- and flags a board whose VERDICT flipped, which is a budget unfreezing and the strongest signal in this data.
Only reads 3Claude Code: allow
  • find_fresh_boardsCompanies where EVERY currently open role was posted in the last 30 days -- no backlog of applicants ahead of you, and usually a team that just started hiring.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_fresh_boards" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Companies where EVERY currently open role was posted in the last 30 days -- no backlog of applicants ahead of you, and usually a team that just started hiring. For sales, a company that just opened its first roles in a function is one whose budget has recently moved.
  • find_quiet_boardsCompanies still advertising open roles while having posted nothing new in over six months.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_quiet_boards" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Companies still advertising open roles while having posted nothing new in over six months. Strong evidence of a board nobody tidied up after the hiring finished. Useful for striking dead accounts off a prospect list, or for avoiding applications that will never be read.
  • search_jobsSearch open job postings read directly from employers' own Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_jobs" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search open job postings read directly from employers' own Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards. Unlike a job board, every result carries the employer's real publish date and age in days, so you can tell a role posted this morning from one that has been open two years.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
