Can I get an alert when a specific company posts a job?

Yes. Most mid-size and large companies run their careers page on an applicant tracking system — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Workday — whose public listings update the moment a role is approved. Offerkin polls 200 of these boards daily through their official APIs and emails you only the new openings that match your resume.

Why are LinkedIn or Indeed alerts slower than the company's own page?

Aggregators re-crawl and normalize postings on their own schedule, so a role often appears on the company's careers page hours to days before it shows up in an aggregator alert — and popular roles can close in that window. The ATS board is the source of truth.

Is a page-change monitor not enough?

A generic monitor tells you a careers page changed, not what changed — it fires on cosmetic edits and reposts, and it can't tell a backend role from a sales one, or rank anything against your background. You end up babysitting alerts instead of reading matches.

Get notified when a company posts a job

October 31, 2026 · by the Offerkin team

The best roles don't stay open long. Internal referrals and early applicants fill many before the job boards even notice — and the listings you see on aggregators are often hours to days behind the company's own careers page. If you're serious about specific companies, the careers page is the source of truth, and watching it beats refreshing LinkedIn. Here's how to do it without living in a browser tab.

Why the careers page is ahead of every job board

Most mid-size and large companies don't run their own careers-page software — they use an applicant tracking system (ATS) whose public board updates the moment a requisition is approved. The big ones:

Greenhouse and Lever — the default for most venture-backed tech companies
Ashby — the newer choice for a lot of startups
Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee — common beyond pure tech
Workday, Oracle, Eightfold — large enterprises; their boards are public even when the UX suggests otherwise

A role usually appears on the ATS board first; LinkedIn and Indeed then re-crawl, normalize, and deduplicate it on their own schedule. For a popular role, that gap can be the whole ballgame.

Your three options for alerts

1. Aggregator alerts (LinkedIn, Indeed)

Easy to set up, but you're watching a copy of a copy: delayed, sometimes incomplete, and ranked by recency or sponsored placement rather than fit for you.

2. Generic page-change monitors

Tools built for watching prices work on careers pages too, but they tell you that the page changed, not what changed — they fire on cosmetic edits and reposts, can't tell a backend role from a sales role, and can't rank anything against your background. You end up babysitting the alert.

3. A monitored digest ranked against your resume

This is the approach we built. Offerkin polls 200+ company career boards daily through their official APIs — the full list and its live health are public — then emails you only the new openings you haven't seen, each ranked against your resume with the fit reasons and the honest gaps spelled out. Each digest also names the likely hiring manager for your top new matches, with the evidence behind the guess.

How to set it up (three steps)

Upload your resume — once. Ranking, gap analysis, and alerts all key off it.
Save your search — role keywords and location become the standing query the monitor re-runs.
Pick your cadence — weekly on the free plan, daily on Pro. Emails list only what's new; one click unsubscribes.
