Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby Career Boards Explained

6 min read • Updated November 2026

QUICK ANSWER

Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby are applicant-tracking systems that host company career pages and expose public job-board feeds. Postings there are published by the employer and link to the real application page, which makes them more reliable than copied listings.

When you click "Apply" on a company website, there is often an applicant-tracking system (ATS) behind it. Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby are three popular ones, used by thousands of technology companies and growing startups.

Each exposes a public job-board feed so that careers pages and search tools can list open roles. That feed is the cleanest source of real vacancies on the internet, and it is the main source of the Clipaist Job Finder.

How to do it, step by step

  1. Find the company board. Look at the company’s careers page link. Boards usually live at boards.greenhouse.io/company, jobs.lever.co/company or jobs.ashbyhq.com/company.
  2. Read the posting. Check the location line, experience requirement, compensation if shown and the apply link.
  3. Apply on that page. The apply button belongs to the employer’s own system, so your application goes straight to them.

What an applicant-tracking system does

It lets recruiters post a role once, collect applications, share them with interviewers and track every candidate through stages. The careers page you see is often just a view of that system.

Because the employer controls the posting, an open role appears there and a closed role is removed or marked unavailable. That is why it is a better signal of "still hiring" than a copied listing on a third-party site.

What the public feeds contain

The public job-board interfaces for Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby return the published jobs of one company board: title, location, department, a description, the posting URL and sometimes compensation, workplace type and publication dates. They do not require a login for published jobs.

They are per company. There is no single feed for "all Greenhouse jobs", which is why a job search needs a directory of verified company boards. Clipaist maintains that registry and adds boards only after the live feed answers with real postings.

What they do not tell you

A feed does not guarantee a role is still actively recruited, does not say whether a company hires in your country beyond what the posting text states, and does not include jobs the company chose not to publish. Some fields, such as salary or workplace type, are optional and often empty.

Clipaist therefore shows when each board was last checked and treats a failed check as "unknown", never as "closed". A job that was not confirmed for seven days is hidden rather than shown as open.

How Clipaist turns many boards into one search

In the background, Clipaist reads boards in small batches, converts each posting to one standard format, reads skills, experience and workplace from the text, and merges exact duplicates. A search runs on that prepared index, so results appear quickly and no external site is contacted while you wait.

Duplicates are merged only by exact rules: the same application URL, or the same company, title and location. No guessing from fuzzy similarity, so a merge is always explainable.

QUICK TIPS

  • ✓ If a company you like is missing, check whether it uses one of these three systems; that is where Clipaist looks first.
  • ✓ Use the original job link - it is the freshest version of the posting.
  • ✓ Treat optional fields (salary, workplace) as unknown when absent.
  • ✓ Do not apply through a third party that asks for money; real applications on these boards are free.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clipaist scrape LinkedIn or Indeed?+
No. It only reads public job-board feeds that employers publish through applicant-tracking systems, and never submits applications on your behalf.
Why is my favourite company not in the results?+
The index covers the boards that have been verified so far, and it grows. A company that does not use Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby will not appear yet.
Are these jobs in English only?+
Most are, but companies in other countries publish in their local language, and skills are matched regardless of language. Job titles are matched best in English.
