HiringCensus

Search open job postings read directly from employers' own Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards. Unlike a job board, every result carries the employer's real publish date and age in days, so you can tell a role posted this morning from one that has been open two years.

Ask whether a company is ACTUALLY hiring, not just whether it has jobs listed. Returns a verdict on the board -- actively_hiring, still_open, gone_quiet or likely_abandoned -- with the age of the newest posting, the median role age, and how many reqs have sat open over 90 days and over a year. This is the check that tells you whether an application or a sales approach is worth the time.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "company": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Company name"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "company"
  ]
}

Companies still advertising open roles while having posted nothing new in over six months. Strong evidence of a board nobody tidied up after the hiring finished. Useful for striking dead accounts off a prospect list, or for avoiding applications that will never be read.

    "limit": {
      "type": "integer"
    }

}

Companies where EVERY currently open role was posted in the last 30 days -- no backlog of applicants ahead of you, and usually a team that just started hiring. For sales, a company that just opened its first roles in a function is one whose budget has recently moved.

What actually MOVED, on a list of companies you name or across the whole record. Answers the question a person with a book of accounts has every morning: which of mine changed, and is anyone suddenly ramping? Returns NET movement, because a company that opened 342 roles and closed 317 is churning and one that opened 261 and closed 41 is hiring -- and flags a board whose VERDICT flipped, which is a budget unfreezing and the strongest signal in this data.

Market-level hiring numbers measured this morning across every board we read: employers hiring, open roles, how many went up in the last 24 hours, how many have been open over 90 days and over a year, how many boards have gone quiet, and the most in-demand technologies.
