FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do staffing and recruiting firms use the job postings feed?

Show TA teams and agencies how many qualified people exist, where they work and who competes for them. A licensed bulk feed of job postings, delivered to Snowflake or S3 for workforce and hiring-signal products. This page walks through 2 workflows with the exact steps.

How much does the job postings feed cost for staffing and recruiting firms?

Job postings feed is a flat annual licence, global or regional, not priced in credits. The price depends on the records, fields and refresh schedule you license, so talk to sales with your use case and we quote it.

Which staffing and recruiting workflows use the job postings feed?

Map talent pools and recruitment niches for hard-to-fill roles and turn job changes into backfill signals for recruiters. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How many candidates exist for a role?

Count matching people in people_feed by title, skills and location (or /person_role_search/totals/). Group by current employer using company_feed.

Is there a free way to try Forager?

Yes. Request a sample extract of the job postings feed on a 30-minute call and check the fields against your own records before you license it.

How do I find roles before they are advertised?

Detect leavers in people_feed (role_is_current false, role_position_end_date recent). Find the hiring manager at the employer.

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.

Should I use the job postings feed or the job postings API?

Use the job postings API to check hiring at specific companies on demand. License the job postings feed when you analyse hiring across the market and want postings loaded into your warehouse on a schedule.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

Data feeds are licensed on an annual agreement, with the term, volume and refresh schedule written into it. There are no self-serve plans for feeds.

Is there volume or annual pricing for staffing and recruiting firms?

Pro, the largest self-serve plan, includes 22,500 credits a month (1,500 mobiles or 4,500 emails). Above that, enterprise plans with volume pricing are agreed with our team, and yearly billing costs 10% less than month to month on every self-serve plan. Platforms that embed Forager in their product pay per record at volume.

Where does Forager data come from, and is it compliant?

Staffing and recruiting firms often have to explain their data source to their own customers. Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover job postings feed for staffing and recruiting firms. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
