Hiring Signals API
Catch hiring signals before the database even knows.
Get a real-time hiring signals API that reads the news from job boards and social media posts, so you catch it as it happens instead of on a weekly scrape.
- Hiring intent read from both job posts and social media posts
- Global coverage across markets and seniorities
- Role, department, seniority, and location on every signal
- 1 signal = 1 company profile with people data
Powering hiring signals inside leading platforms
Stock vs flow
Hiring databases refresh on a schedule. We read the signal the moment it posts.
A hiring signal shows up first as a social post, a team member sharing a role or a founder announcing a build-out, then as a formal job post. We read both as they happen, so you reach the account while everyone else waits for a database to refresh.
Benchmark
Most tools scrape one stale board. We read job posts and social, live.
Every other tool waits for the formal listing, then scrapes it late. The Hiring Signals API reads hiring intent from job posts and social media posts as they happen, and hands you a structured signal.
| Layer | Exa search API | Apify scraper marketplace | Traditional database | Signalbase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sourcing: catching the intent | Search results, no events | Scraped listings, you schedule the runs | Weekly board refresh | Read from job posts and social media posts, in real time |
| Verification: confirming the role | Not provided, you build | Duplicates across boards, you clean | Repurposed, not deduped | Deduped against the entity graph, every source attached |
| Contextualization: the full picture | Not provided, you build | Not provided, you build | Listing only, no company or people context | Role structured with department, seniority, and company profile |

Delivery
Three ways to push the data to you.
The same hiring signals, delivered where you work: pull them on your schedule, have them pushed the moment they land, or wire them natively into your agents.
REST API
Poll the endpoint with a since cursor on your own schedule.
Webhooks
We post the event to your endpoint the moment it lands. This is the flow, not a nightly batch.
MCP
Wire the same signals straight into your agent or GTM tooling over the Signalbase MCP.
Built for
Where teams point this API.
Timed outbound
Reach the account while it is still hiring intent, not after the role hits every job board and every competitor's list.
Account scoring
Feed live hiring intent into your model so teams gearing up to grow lift before the listing even exists.
Territory alerts
Route each new hiring signal to the rep who owns the account the day it posts, straight into your CRM.
Building internal AI SDRs
Find your ICP once and let hiring signals populate while you never touch the UX again.
We have tried other financial signals providers, such as Crunchbase. Despite being more expensive, they could not match Signalbase's timeliness or the ability to trace data back to source posts.
Jack CaneRevenanasWe have been searching for a signal infrastructure for months and happily ended up with Signalbase. The data is top tier and the platform and API are very straightforward.
