Questions about this recipe

Can job postings be used as a buying signal for B2B sales?

Rank target accounts by the roles they are hiring for, so reps work accounts where tooling and vendor decisions are live. Reps prioritise accounts with live buying windows and see higher opportunity creation.

What does it cost to score accounts on hiring momentum from job postings?

Job postings API: 2 credits per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Company enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Job postings feed is a flat annual licence, global or regional, not priced in credits. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 8,250 company lookups, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

What do I need to run this recipe, and what comes back?

You send role keywords that imply need and target account list. You get back hiring momentum score, open roles by function and posting dates, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.

How do I score accounts using hiring data?

Pull active postings per account with POST /job_search/ (organization_ids, title, is_active). Write a hiring-momentum score to the account and trigger plays above threshold.

Can I test the job postings API for free?

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.

When should I run this workflow?

Weekly account-scoring run, or a target account posts several relevant roles. Reps prioritise accounts with live buying windows and see higher opportunity creation.

Which Forager products does this recipe use?

Job postings API, job postings feed and company enrichment. Job postings API: search live and historical job postings by company, title and location to spot hiring signals. Job postings feed: a licensed bulk feed of job postings, delivered to Snowflake or S3 for workforce and hiring-signal products.

How do I know the data is right?

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.

How do I prioritize accounts by hiring velocity?

Compute posting velocity and role mix vs. last period. Write a hiring-momentum score to the account and trigger plays above threshold.

Which tools can run this workflow?

Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo, delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3 and called through the API from your own code, Google BigQuery, Make and n8n. Or call the endpoints in the steps above from your own code with one API key.

How many steps is this workflow?

4 steps: pull active postings per account with POST /job_search/ (organization_ids, title, is_active), compute posting velocity and role mix vs. last period, join firmographics from POST /organization_search/ for fit and write a hiring-momentum score to the account and trigger plays above threshold.

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: 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.
