# Where can I get job postings data for sales prospecting?

> Job postings data for sales prospecting comes from four kinds of provider: a jobs API that returns the postings themselves with filters for title, skills, seniority and location, a sales-intelligence platform that turns postings into account lists and alerts, a labour-market analytics vendor that sells aggregated trends, and a bulk data vendor that ships files. Which one fits depends on whether you want the postings, the companies, or the statistics.

The jobs API route is JobsPipe. A request to the search endpoint with job_title_or, job_seniority_or, employer_type_not set to agency and broker, and posted_at_max_age_days returns the direct employers hiring for the roles that signal your category, with each company's domain, size and industry on the record, and webhooks fire when a matching posting appears. TheirStack packages the same idea as a prospecting product: job postings joined to the technologies a company uses, sold as credits with a sales team in mind. Coresignal and Lightcast sit on the other side: Coresignal sells company, employee and job records in bulk for data teams, and Lightcast sells labour-market analytics built on postings, statistics and profiles, scoped with sales rather than self-serve. Adzuna's API is a job aggregator built for job search, not for prospecting, so it carries listings without the company fields a sales workflow needs.

What to check before choosing: whether staffing agencies and job boards can be excluded, because a recruiter's repost is not a hiring company; whether the company record carries a domain, since that is what a CRM matches on; whether closed postings are marked, so a signal does not fire on a role filled weeks ago; and the billing unit, since a per-row price for raw postings and a per-credit price for enriched companies are not comparable without knowing how many postings a company publishes.

A workable setup is to run one search a day for the titles that predict a purchase in your category, group the results by company, and treat a company with several matching roles as a trigger rather than a lead. The sandbox endpoint runs without a key, and the free tier is enough to test the signal before connecting it to a sequencer.

## Related questions

### Is job postings data the same as intent data?

It is one kind of intent data. Content and review intent infer interest from what people read or shortlist; a job posting is a company stating in public that a role is approved and unfilled, with the function, seniority, tools and city attached. It fires earlier than the other kinds, because the team that will buy is still being built, and it only covers things a company hires for.

### Can I get job postings data for sales prospecting for free?

Partly. JobsPipe's free tier is one thousand job credits, one time, which is enough to test a title and territory. Adzuna's developer API is free for low volumes but returns listings aimed at job seekers. TheirStack offers a trial, and Coresignal and Lightcast are sold through sales rather than a free tier. A free scraper costs engineering time and proxies instead of a plan.

### Which filters matter most for prospecting on job postings?

Title and seniority, to name the role that predicts a purchase; employer type, to drop staffing agencies and job boards; company size, to match your segment; posting age, so a signal is current; and country or metro. A search that returns companies rather than postings, or a step that groups postings by company domain, is what turns the data into an account list.
