The Muse

The Muse is a careers and company-profiles platform that helps people find jobs at companies whose values match their own. Its free, documented public REST API (v2) exposes hundreds of thousands of live job openings - searchable by category, experience level, company, and location - alongside rich employer company profiles (industry, size, locations, and behind-the-scenes content). An optional api_key raises rate limits. This makes The Muse a strong source for "job openings", jobs, careers, and recruiting use cases and for building job boards, career sites, and employer-branding integrations.

The Muse publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Companies API and Jobs API. Tagged areas include Job Openings, Job, Careers, Recruiting, and Employment.

The Muse’s developer surface includes documentation and 8 more developer resources.
