hello, what is the difference between the feature job posting signal and find jobs in clay?
Great question! Here's the key difference:
Job Posting Signal monitors companies you already have in a table and alerts you when they post new jobs. It runs on a schedule you set and automatically adds new rows when relevant postings appear. [1]
Find Jobs is for discovering job openings right now. You can use it two ways:
So basically: Signal = ongoing monitoring for new postings. Find Jobs = one-time search for current openings.

If I´m a recruiting looking for companies with open hard-to-fill roles, is it useful the find jobs feature to extrac leads?
Yes, absolutely! Find Jobs as a Source is specifically designed for recruiters. You can:
Search for specific hard-to-fill role titles (like niche engineering or executive positions)
Filter by location and job type
Pull up to 1,000 jobs per query into a table [1]
Once you have those job listings, you can work backwards to identify the companies hiring and then enrich that data further — like finding key contacts at those organizations. [2]
It's a great way to build a targeted lead list based on real hiring activity. [3]

For data that's not natively available, you could try Claygent (Clay's AI web scraper) to attempt extracting visible info from job pages — though candidate counts are usually hidden.
