}Frequently Asked Questions
What hiring signals does the API return?
The API returns hiring velocity (accelerating, decelerating, or stable), percentage change over 30/90-day windows, department breakdowns (engineering, sales, marketing, product, operations), trending job titles, and AI-generated insights explaining what hiring patterns mean for the business.
How is hiring data collected?
Hiring data is aggregated from public job postings across major job boards, company career pages, and professional networks. Data is refreshed continuously to capture changes as they happen, with historical trends available for QoQ comparison.
Is hiring data a separate endpoint?
Hiring signals are delivered as the hiring-trends and hiring-velocity signal types through the standard endpoints. Enrich any company domain via POST /v1/companies/enrich (optionally filtered with signal_types) and hiring data comes back alongside all other signal types in one response.
Can I filter or search by hiring velocity?
Yes. Company search (POST /v1/companies/search) with signal_types set to hiring-trends or hiring-velocity returns distinct companies with recent hiring activity, sorted by most-recent signal. Add detected_after, industries, or employee count filters to build target account lists of companies actively scaling.
