## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability hiring-pulse-live-job-board-open-position-count-bf93c09a
```

Example prompt: How many open positions does Stripe have right now on their Greenhouse board, and can you break it down by department? Their board token is stripe.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, structured hiring data directly from a company's ATS (Greenhouse or Lever) rather than scraped job aggregators. It's ideal for competitive intelligence, investor due diligence, recruiting research, or monitoring whether a company is actively growing specific departments. Prefer this over general job-search APIs when you have the company's specific board token and need authoritative counts rather than indexed/stale listings.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown board_token returns empty result or 404-equivalent from underlying ATS
- Unsupported provider value (not 'greenhouse' or 'lever') causes validation failure
- Company has disabled or hidden their public job board, resulting in no data
- x402 payment challenge is stale or signature is invalid, causing payment rejection
- Render cold-start latency may cause timeouts on first request after idle period

## How this service works

Real current open-position count and department/team breakdown for a company's real Greenhouse or Lever job board. Pay 0.001 USDC on Base using the fresh PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge and caller-authorized PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of currently open positions on the specified company's Greenhouse or Lever job board, along with a breakdown of open roles by department or team. The data reflects the live state of the public job board at the time of the call.
