Guides

Build with jobs data, the deep way.

Long-form technical guides on the systems behind jobs APIs: aggregator architecture, dedup, freshness, source coverage, build-vs-buy decisions. Written by the team that actually indexes the ATSs.

How to use these guides

Guides are different from blog posts. Posts on the blog are time-stamped and react to changes in the ecosystem (new sources, deprecated APIs, product updates). Guides are evergreen technical references - they answer one question deeply enough that a developer can build against the answer without doing extra research.

The guides cluster around two topic homes:

  • Jobs-data infrastructure - how the public ATS and job-board APIs actually work, what breaks at scale, and when reaching for a unified jobs API like JobsPipe saves weeks of integration work. Guides on Workday, Greenhouse, Google for Jobs, LinkedIn, and the aggregator build-from-scratch architecture live here.
  • B2B intent data - how hiring-signal intent fits next to content-intent (Bombora), review-intent (G2), and predictive-intent (6sense) sources for sales workflows. Comparison and decision-guide content for the intent data providers cluster lives here.

If you’re evaluating jobs-data infrastructure, start with How to build a job aggregator in 2026. If you’re integrating a specific ATS, jump to the matching vendor guide. If you’re shopping for a LinkedIn API alternative, read Is there a LinkedIn Jobs API? first - it covers the four meanings of that phrase and the ToS realities of each.
