Could you build this?
Partial A simple scraper for a single URL is easy, but continuously indexing, parsing, and verifying hundreds of thousands of postings across 15 different ATS platforms requires serious distributed web scraping infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires an orchestrator (like Temporal or Celery) running headless browsers and reverse-engineered API clients targeting Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, etc., backed by a multi-million record database with deduplication logic. The hard parts are bot-mitigation bypass (Cloudflare/DataDome), frequent layout/schema changes across diverse ATS systems, and maintaining real-time freshness at scale.
