Job Listings API vs. Coresignal
Job Listings API team · Updated June 12, 2026
Coresignal and this API solve overlapping problems at very different scope. Coresignal is a large, established web-data provider: company, employee, and job-posting datasets, with history going back years, sold to enterprises and developers building on top of broad firmographic and people data. We do one thing — normalized job postings read first-party from applicant tracking systems — and we do it on a self-serve free tier.
These are different tools for different needs. If your problem is bigger than postings — you need employee or company records, or deep historical depth — Coresignal is built for that and we are not. If your problem is exactly current, normalized job postings, the comparison below is where our focus shows.
| Dimension | Coresignal | Job Listings API |
|---|---|---|
| What the data covers | Three datasets: company, employee, and job-posting records — a broad web-data platform. | Job postings only — a focused feed, not company or employee data. |
| Sourcing model | Multi-source web data aggregated across platforms at large scale. | Read first-party from ATS feeds (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, and 10 more), retained with attribution to the original posting. |
| Historical depth | Long history — company and employee records since 2016, job postings since 2020 (per their site). | A rolling 21-day live window; we archive postings as they pass through from June 2026, with longer history on request. |
| Normalization | — | Normalized role_category, seniority, structured location, and a duplicate_cluster_id on every record. |
| Refresh cadence | Stated as real-time / fresh records (cadence specifics not published per-source). | Re-read on a 30-minute cadence; updated_since delta sync on every plan. |
| Pricing | Self-serve credits-based API plans (free 7-day trial; paid from $49/mo) plus quote-based bulk datasets (from $1,000), per their pricing page. | Self-serve from $0 (free tier, 5,000 requests/mo, no card) to $999/mo, with an instant key. |
| Best fit | Teams needing company/employee/firmographic data and historical depth, often with enterprise procurement. | Teams needing current, normalized job postings without owning scrapers. |
Choose Coresignal if
- You need employee, company, or firmographic data beyond job postings — that is their core, and it is outside our scope entirely.
- You need deep historical depth: their company and employee records go back to 2016 and postings to 2020, where we hold a 21-day live window.
- You are an enterprise that wants bulk datasets or flat-file delivery and is set up for that kind of procurement.
Choose us if
- Your problem is specifically current job postings, and the broader datasets would be paying for more than you need.
- You want ATS-first-party sourcing with attribution to the original posting, rather than aggregated web data.
- You want normalized taxonomy — role, seniority, structured location, and dedup cluster IDs — on every record out of the box.
- You want to start free and self-serve with an instant key, from $0 to $99 before any sales conversation.
