Question 1

Which APIs do I need to build a job search app?

Accepted Answer

Usually three: a job search API for keyword and filter queries, a semantic search API for natural-language and resume queries, and a bulk export or sync feed to keep your own index current. Hirebase covers all three with one key: the Job Search API (POST /v2/jobs/search), Neural Search (POST /v2/jobs/neural-search), and the Job Export API, plus a free expired-jobs feed so closed roles drop out of your board.

Question 2

Is there a free job posting API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Hirebase Free plan includes 500 jobs and 50 companies a month on every endpoint, with no credit card. It refreshes daily; paid plans refresh hourly and start at $99/month for 25,000 jobs. Every request needs an API key, which you get when you sign up.

Question 3

How fresh is the data?

Accepted Answer

The index updates continuously. New jobs typically appear within 1–2 hours of being posted on the company's career page. When a listing is removed from the source, we detect it and mark it expired within the hour.

Question 4

How is this different from LinkedIn or Indeed data?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn and Indeed are job boards — companies (and agencies) post to them manually, often with delays, duplicates, and stale listings that linger for weeks. Hirebase indexes directly from company career pages and ATS platforms. Every listing traces back to an employer-controlled source, which means no agency reposts, no cross-board duplicates, and real-time accuracy on whether a job is still open.

Question 5

How accurate is the data? how do you handle duplicates?

Accepted Answer

Because we go direct to the employer source rather than aggregating from boards, duplicates are eliminated at the point of collection. Each job maps to a single company entity with a verified source URL. Listings are re-validated on every crawl cycle, so if a company removes a role, it's flagged as expired in our system within hours.

Question 6

How hard is it to integrate?

Accepted Answer

It's a standard REST API with JSON responses. Authenticate with an API key, make a POST request, get structured job data back. Most teams are up and running in under an hour. We have full API docs, example requests, and support for bulk exports if you need to sync large volumes into your own system.

Question 7

What is the Hiring Manager Contact API?

Accepted Answer

It identifies the most likely hiring manager for a given role using company structure, team, and seniority signals extracted from job postings. Results include the LinkedIn profile, photo, and verified email where available, billed per contact returned. $0.30 per run, no subscription required. Email spencer@hirebase.org for access.
