What do I need to run this recipe, and what comes back?
You send company feed, company-to-security mapping and job postings feed. You get back active postings, postings by function and location and weekly new postings per company, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.
Which job postings dataset can be joined to company data?
This recipe uses Forager Job postings feed and Company data feed. Job postings feed: A licensed bulk feed of job postings, delivered to Snowflake or S3 for workforce and hiring-signal products. Build company-level hiring series (new postings, active postings, mix by function and location) for a research or quant team's models.
Is there a free way to try Forager on this workflow?
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.
When should I run this workflow?
When a research team adds hiring as a model input, or extends coverage to a new set of companies. Analysts and models read hiring changes across their whole coverage universe from one consistent series.
Which Forager products does this recipe use?
Job postings feed and company data feed. Job postings feed: a licensed bulk feed of job postings, delivered to Snowflake or S3 for workforce and hiring-signal products. Company data feed: a licensed file of 65M+ company profiles and firmographics, delivered to Snowflake or S3 on a schedule.
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.
Which tools can run this workflow?
Delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3. Or call the endpoints in the steps above from your own code with one API key.
How many steps is this workflow?
4 steps: load job_postings_feed deliveries into the warehouse and join to company_feed on organization_forager_id = forager_id, map companies to the team's own security or entity identifiers by domain, aggregate postings per company per week using date_featured, is_active, title and parsed_location and publish the series to research models and dashboards, with history kept from each delivery.
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.
Can we show Forager data inside 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.
