# Hiring alerts

## Triggers

Hiring alerts are triggered on two cases, representing the two alert types you can set:

* **job\_added**: when a company just added a new job posting
* **job\_removed**: when a company removed an existing job posting

On the json payload, the **`type`** property allows you to identify the type of alert that has been triggered:

```javascript
{
  "event_id": 458325,
  "timestamp": "2020-04-23T12:25:32.209Z",
  "type": "job_added", // <<<< This is where you can identify the alert type
  "alert_name": "Hiring in marketing", 
  "event_verbose": "Acme Co. added a job: Marketing Lead",
  "domain": "acme.co",
  
  ...
```

## Default properties

Both job\_added and job\_removed alert types send the same 2 event properties under the "event\_properties" key:

| key           | type   | options |
| ------------- | ------ | ------- |
| job\_title    | string | Open    |
| job\_location | string | Open    |

### Job added

```javascript
"event_properties": {
    "job_title": "Marketing Lead",
    "job_location": "Los Angeles, CA"
  },
```

### Job removed

```javascript
"event_properties": {
    "job_title": "Marketing Lead",
    "job_location": "Los Angeles, CA"
  },
```
