Which API can a career platform use to recommend live job openings?

The workflow uses Forager Job postings API and Company enrichment. Job postings API: Search live and historical job postings by company, title and location to spot hiring signals. Show each candidate on a talent marketplace or career platform the live openings that match their title and location, with context on the hiring company, and link through to the original posting.

How accurate is Forager data?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and called through the API from your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using job postings API, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
