# Adding companies

> Add a company to your watchlist with a careers URL.

You add a company by pasting a URL. JobBeacon detects the hiring platform when it can, saves the company to your watchlist, and runs the first scan.

## What URLs work

Use either the company's careers page or a direct job board URL.

Direct job board URLs are usually fastest:

* `https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/{company}` or `https://boards.greenhouse.io/{company}`
* `https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/{company}`
* `https://jobs.lever.co/{company}`
* `https://{company}.wd{N}.myworkdayjobs.com/...`
* `https://{company}.eightfold.ai/...`
* `https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/{company}`
* `https://{company}.bamboohr.com/careers`
* `https://apply.workable.com/{company}`
* `https://myjobs.adp.com/{company}/...`
* Oracle Recruiting, iCIMS, and SAP SuccessFactors career site URLs

Company careers pages can also work. If you paste a page like `https://example.com/careers`, JobBeacon checks the page for links to supported job boards and tries common board URLs based on the company domain.

See [Supported platforms](/guides/supported-platforms) for the full list.

## Add a company

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add company">
    From the dashboard, click **Add company**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the URL">
    Use the company careers page or a direct job board URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add filters if you want">
    Add keywords and locations before the first scan. You can always change filters later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add company">
    JobBeacon validates the URL and saves the company.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the first scan">
    JobBeacon imports jobs already listed on the board. The scan usually takes a few seconds. Very large boards can take longer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Existing jobs from the first scan are seed jobs. They can appear in your dashboard, but they do not send email or webhook delivery.

Only jobs found after the first scan can trigger delivery.

## When JobBeacon needs confirmation

Sometimes JobBeacon finds more than one possible company for the URL you pasted. When that happens, you see **Is this the right company?** with a list of candidates.

For each candidate, you can:

* Click **View career site** to open the board and confirm it is the right company.
* Click **Yes, track this** to add that company.
* Click **None of these** if the suggestions are wrong.

Candidates with no open roles are labeled. You can still track one. JobBeacon will keep watching for future roles.

## If nothing matches

If JobBeacon cannot detect the company:

1. Open the company's careers page yourself.
2. Look for a button or link like "Open roles", "View jobs", or "Search jobs".
3. Paste the URL that link opens.
4. Try the direct job board URL if you can find it.

If you still cannot add the company, [email support](mailto:support@jobbeacon.app) with the URL.

## Duplicate companies

JobBeacon does not let you add the same company board twice.

If you see "You are already monitoring this company", open the existing company from your dashboard and update its filters instead.

## Plan limits

Free accounts can watch up to 5 companies.

Pro accounts can watch unlimited companies.

Free accounts can add up to 2 keywords and 1 location per company. Pro accounts can use unlimited keywords and locations.

See [Account & billing](/guides/account-billing) for plan details.

## Poll now

The first scan runs when you add a company.

After that, JobBeacon checks companies automatically.

Pro users can click **Poll Now** on a company page to check a company immediately.

## Remove a company

Open the company page and click **Remove**.

This removes the company from your watchlist and deletes JobBeacon's tracked history for that company.

It does not affect the company's real careers page.
