Daily pay transparency check for new Ashby job postings
Every weekday at 8am ET, compare yesterday's new Ashby postings to live market pay and drop a compliance digest in your recruiting Slack channel.

Job Salary Data
SlackHR & PeopleOperationsDaily DigestsNotifications & AlertsResearch & MonitoringBuild me an agent workflow that keeps my recruiting team ahead of pay transparency laws by sanity-checking every new Ashby job posting against live market pay.
Trigger: cron. Run every weekday (Monday through Friday) at 8:00am America/New_York.
On each run, use Ashby's List Job Postings to pull every job posting that was created or updated in the last 24 hours. If a posting from the list is missing the fields you need (title, primary location, compensation range, and a direct link back to the posting), fall back to Ashby's Get Job Posting Info for that one posting to fill in the gaps.
For each posting, normalize the free-text job title into a clean canonical role (drop seniority suffixes if needed, expand abbreviations) and identify the posting's primary city and state or country. Then call job-salary-data's Get Job Salary Estimate with that canonical title and location to fetch the market min, median, and max.
Compare the posted compensation band against the market band and assign one of four verdicts:
- compliant: the posted range overlaps the market band in a reasonable way - low: the posted max is meaningfully below the market median - high: the posted min is meaningfully above the market max - unpriced: the posting has no compensation range at all
For anything that isn't compliant, generate a recommended range using the market min and max (rounded to sensible numbers). If the salary estimate confidence is low or the location isn't recognized, mark the row as low confidence rather than forcing a verdict.
Finish by sending exactly one Slack message via Slack's Send a Message to the #recruiting channel. The message should be a short digest with one row per posting containing: role title, city, posted range (or "missing"), market band (min–median–max), verdict, recommended range if off-market, and a direct link back to the Ashby posting. Sort rows so unpriced and low come first. If there were zero new or updated postings in the last 24 hours, send a one-line message saying so instead of a table.
Do not edit anything in Ashby. This workflow is read-only against Ashby; recruiters update the postings themselves using the links in the digest.
Additional information
What does this prompt do?
- Pulls every job posting your recruiters opened or updated in Ashby over the last 24 hours.
- Looks up the current market salary range for each role and city, then labels the posting compliant, below market, above market, or missing a range entirely.
- Posts a single digest to your recruiting Slack channel with the role, city, your posted range, the market band, a verdict, a recommended range for anything off, and a direct link back to the Ashby posting.
- Runs on a schedule so pay transparency review is a background habit, not a fire drill after a legal complaint.
What do I need to use this?
- An Ashby admin account so we can read your job postings.
- A Slack workspace and the channel you want the digest posted to (for example, #recruiting).
- A subscription to our salary data provider so we can pull live market pay by role and city.
How can I customize it?
- Change the time or cadence, such as running twice a day, only on Mondays, or right after your standup.
- Point the digest at a different Slack channel, or send it to a specific hiring manager as a direct message.
- Adjust the tolerance for what counts as off market, or scope the check to a specific department, office, or job board.
