Talent marketplaces and job platforms tools are judged on candidate replies
A contact that reaches the wrong person, or nobody, is a failure your users see in your product, not ours.
- Does it connect? A number that is dead or disconnected wastes the call.
- Does the name match? A live number for someone else is worse than none.
- Is it the profile you asked about? Not a namesake, not a former owner of the number.

Questions talent marketplaces teams ask
What does Forager offer talent marketplaces?
Forager is a B2B data API and data feed for people, companies and jobs, covering 800M+ people and 65M+ companies. Talent marketplaces use work emails, people search, job postings API and person enrichment most, by API or data feed. Products like yours are judged on candidate replies, so every result is about reaching the right person.
How do I find the hiring manager for a job posting?
Pull matching postings for the member's target titles and locations with POST /job_search/. Find the likely hiring manager and team lead at the employer with POST /person_role_search/ (department, seniority, organization_domains).
How does Forager pricing work for talent marketplaces?
Every product draws on one credit balance. Work emails: 5 credits per work email found, and a work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 550 mobiles, 1,650 emails or 8,250 search requests, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Can we show Forager data inside our product?
Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager contacts to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.
How do I find plant managers hiring hourly workers?
Detect high-volume hourly hiring by site with POST /job_search/ (title, location, posted date). Find plant, warehouse and operations managers at each site with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title, location, organization_domains).
Is there a free way to try Forager?
Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.
Which Forager products do talent marketplaces use most?
Work emails (2 recipes), people search (2 recipes), job postings API (3 recipes) and person enrichment (1 recipe), counted across the recipes on this page. Every product draws on one credit balance, so you can mix them on one plan.
How accurate is Forager data?
Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. 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 and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
How can a freelance marketplace check that a sign-up's work history is real?
Resolve the sign-up email with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/. If they also give a LinkedIn URL, fetch the profile with POST /person_detail_lookup/ (linkedin_public_identifier).
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using Forager, 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.
Should talent marketplaces call the API or license a data feed?
Call the API when your product needs one person or company at a time, when a user opens a record or an agent asks. License a feed when you need whole layers (people, companies or job postings) in your own warehouse or index. Contact fields (mobiles and emails) stay in the API, paid per result found.
