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.

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.

Pull

REST API

Poll the endpoint with a since cursor on your own schedule.

Push

Webhooks

We post the event to your endpoint the moment it lands. This is the flow, not a nightly batch.

Native

MCP

Wire the same signals straight into your agent or GTM tooling over the Signalbase MCP.

Built for

Where teams point this API.

01

Timed outbound

Reach the account while it is still hiring intent, not after the role hits every job board and every competitor's list.

02

Account scoring

Feed live hiring intent into your model so teams gearing up to grow lift before the listing even exists.

03

Territory alerts

Route each new hiring signal to the rep who owns the account the day it posts, straight into your CRM.

04

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.

We 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.

Signalbase is one of the intent sources feeding our SaaS platform, and the Dutch company signals get better and better every week. Highly recommend Signalbase, the support is amazing as well!
