The Fundamental Architectural Difference
Why the direct ATS streaming model out-converts traditional ad-sponsored aggregators.
How Traditional Job Boards Operate
Commercial job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed rely on an ad-revenue model. They monetize employer job slots and sponsored CPC clicks. Because of this, their primary goal is maximizing applicant volume rather than applicant conversion.
Jobs are imported through XML syndication feeds or scraped via broad web spiders that update on multi-day delays. Even after an engineering manager has filled a role, the listing often stays sponsored for weeks because the employer paid for a 30-day posting duration.
How Fastlyy Direct ATS Monitoring Works
Fastlyy operates as an intelligence layer on top of company career infrastructure. We monitor 1,000+ verified corporate ATS endpoints (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday) every 15 minutes.
There are no sponsored placements, no staffing agency middlemen, and no third-party data tracking. When an engineering team opens a requisition, you get an alert within minutes. When the requisition closes, Fastlyy removes it immediately—guaranteeing 0% wasted effort on ghost jobs.
