Hiring Index

Hiring Index is a jobs and labour-market data API that reads live postings straight from thirteen applicant tracking systems - Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, Workable, Lever, Ashby, Recruitee, Teamtailor, Breezy, Personio, Hireology, PageUp and Zoho Recruit - behind one endpoint. Three operations search postings by title, keyword, location, salary, work arrangement and posting age; aggregate the same filter into salary percentiles, top employers and posting-age freshness; and fetch a single posting by id. A field the source did not state is absent rather than guessed, dates are the employer's own, and apply links point at the employer's ATS. A first-party MCP server and a Python client ship alongside the API, which is metered by results on RapidAPI.

Hiring Index publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Job, Hiring Data, Labor Market, HR, and Recruiting.

Hiring Index’s developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, support, and 14 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-14 · rubric v0.22.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/hiring-index: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
