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.
Paycom Jobs API: a developer's reference
Paycom has no public jobs API. The Client API is private to each customer. How the actual data path works, why scraping paycomonline.net breaks at scale, and when reaching for a unified jobs API saves weeks.
Paylocity Jobs API: a developer's reference
Paylocity's API is partner-gated and requires a customer sponsor. How job postings are actually exposed, what the careers widget does, and when reaching for a unified jobs API saves months of partner-program paperwork.
BambooHR Jobs API: a developer's reference
BambooHR's official API is HRIS-shaped, not jobs-shaped. The only public job-posting surface is the careers widget. What that means in practice and when a unified jobs API saves the widget-reverse-engineering work.
Workable Jobs API: a developer's reference
Workable has a Job Board API but each customer's key is private to their account. How the actual surface works, where aggregation breaks, and when a unified jobs API removes the per-customer key juggle.
iCIMS Jobs API: a developer's reference
iCIMS Talent Cloud API is partner-only - no self-serve credentials. How careers sites actually surface postings, why the internal endpoint is shape-sensitive, and when a unified jobs API avoids the partner-program path entirely.
Best LinkedIn scrapers 2026: 9 tools compared
Honest comparison of the LinkedIn scraping tools that actually work in 2026 - Bright Data, Apify, PhantomBuster, Lix, Scrapingdog, joeyism/linkedin_scraper and more. What each is best for, what they cost, and the ToS realities you should know before you commit.
Is there a LinkedIn Jobs API?
Yes, but you almost certainly can't use it. The official Talent API is partnership-gated, third-party scrapers sit in a ToS gray zone, and most production teams should go upstream instead. A breakdown of all four 'LinkedIn Jobs APIs' and what to use when.
Greenhouse Jobs API: a developer's reference
How the Greenhouse jobs feed actually works, the difference between the public Job Board API and the private Harvest API, what fields you actually get, rate-limit realities, and when reaching for a unified jobs API saves you weeks.
White-label job board software 2026: build vs buy
The four real paths to a branded job board - enterprise platform, SaaS builder, custom build on a jobs API, no-code. Real cost ranges, time-to-launch, and how to pick based on whether you're inventory-rich or inventory-poor.
Is there a Google Jobs API?
There is no public API for Google for Jobs, and Cloud Talent Solution is deprecated. What each 'Google Jobs API' actually is, why the third-party products are SERP scrapers reading Google's downstream copy, and how to get job postings from the source instead.
How to integrate with Workday in 2026
Workday integration isn't one thing - it's six. HRIS sync, payroll, SSO, recruiting, jobs-feed, custom. A technical breakdown of each, the realistic complexity, the tools that fit, and how to pick the right integration path without wasting six months.
How to build a job aggregator in 2026
A complete technical guide: what an aggregator actually is, the four hard problems most teams underestimate, the architecture you'll need, where to get the jobs, and how to decide whether to build the data layer yourself or rent it.
