Is Coresignal better than Hiring Index?

For some jobs, yes — You need years of history for a research or alternative-data project. We would rather tell you that than have you find out after a month of integration.

What does Hiring Index do that Coresignal does not?

One credit type, and deduplication is not a paid upgrade.

Where did these numbers come from?

One thing worth knowing about this market: Proxycurl, a well-known provider of this kind of data, shut down on 4 July 2025 after a lawsuit from LinkedIn. Where a vendor gets its postings from matters as much as how many it has. We read company career systems and applicant tracking systems, and we say so on the about page.
