FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do market intelligence use the job postings feed?

Publish an index of AI capability by company (e.g. banks) from talent counts, moves and hiring. A licensed bulk feed of job postings, delivered to Snowflake or S3 for workforce and hiring-signal products. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

How much does the job postings feed cost for market intelligence?

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.

Why do market intelligence add the job postings feed?

Map markets without maintaining your own scrapers. Products like yours are judged on freshness and fields, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what the job postings feed returns for your users before you build on it.

How do I track competitor AI hiring?

Add AI hiring velocity and talent moves from job_postings_feed and people_feed changes. Publish ranked benchmarks and competitor deltas.

Can our users see Forager data in our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager data to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

Can market intelligence see a sample of the job postings feed before licensing it?

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 detect new startups from founder job changes?

Detect new companies in company_feed (founded_date recent) and founders leaving employers in people_feed. Score founder pedigree from work history and education.

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.

Where can the job postings feed be delivered?

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.

How is the data sourced, and what about privacy?

Market intelligence 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 market intelligence. 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.
