Use case

Watch who your competitors are hiring.
Read strategy from job posts, not rumor.

Every serious business move telegraphs through a job post before it’s announced. New backend roles signal platform investment. New sales hires signal GTM expansion. Zikit watches the careers pages of the companies you care about and alerts you within minutes.

Two very different jobs this solves

Recruiters & agency sourcers

Target-company posts a Senior Backend role → you DM qualified candidates within the hour. Most placements go to whoever got there first. Zikit makes you first.

Competitive intel / strategy

5 new EMEA sales roles at a competitor = they’re expanding into Europe before the press release. New ML research role = they’re shipping an AI feature next quarter. Jobs are the earliest public signal.

How Zikit does it

1

Add careers pages

Target company's main careers URL. Unlimited pages per site — add /careers + /careers/engineering + /careers/sales for granular tracking.

2

Keyword filter (optional)

Only alert on roles matching your criteria. 'backend', 'remote', 'senior', 'sales manager' — Zikit only pings you when those words appear in the change.

3

Slack alert, candidates sourced

Each new posting lands in #recruiting or #competitive-intel with AI summary: 'Added: Senior Backend Engineer (Remote US). Was not on the page 1 hour ago.'

What job-post signals actually mean

5+ backend eng roles in one week

Platform / infra project launching soon. Expect a product update within 2 quarters.

Chief Revenue Officer posting

GTM rebuild. Pricing and sales motion likely about to shift — watch their pricing page too.

Sales hires in new region (EMEA, APAC)

Market expansion. Press release usually lands 6-12 weeks after first sales hire.

ML research / AI scientist roles

AI feature on roadmap. Usually ships within 9-18 months of first researcher hire.

Head of Legal or Compliance

Growth stage. Either preparing for regulated market entry or fundraising due diligence.

Questions we get

Who is this for — recruiters, or competitive intel teams?

Both. Recruiters use it to poach: when a target company posts a role you can fill, be the first to DM qualified candidates. Competitive intel teams use it to read strategy: new backend roles signal platform investment, new sales hires signal GTM expansion.

Can Zikit monitor Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby boards?

Most public Greenhouse and Lever boards (boards.greenhouse.io/company or jobs.lever.co/company) work out of the box. Ashby boards embedded in company sites usually work. If a specific board doesn't render, tell us — we'll test it.

What about LinkedIn job posts?

LinkedIn blocks scraping tools aggressively and often requires login to view. We don't recommend LinkedIn URLs — monitor the company's own careers page instead, which gets the same data (roles) without the bot-blocking.

How fast do I get alerted after a new posting?

Up to 15 minutes on Business, 1 hour on Pro, 24 hours on Free. For recruiting use cases, hourly is usually the sweet spot — fast enough to be early, slow enough to avoid redundant alerts as the company posts 5 roles in a batch.

Can I filter by role type? (e.g. only alert on backend engineering)

Yes. Set a keyword filter on the monitor — 'backend' or 'senior engineer' or 'remote'. Zikit only alerts when the changed text contains at least one of your keywords.
