Honest

Where Hirebase is stronger

  • Far more coverage than we have — roughly twice the active listings.
  • Hourly rescan of every active listing, which is a genuine engineering investment.
  • Company enrichment and semantic search are further along.
Our side

Where Hiring Index is stronger

  • Posting age is exposed everywhere, not just as an expired/not-expired flag — median age, share posted this week, share open past sixty days, for any slice you can filter.
  • The aggregate endpoint is the product, not an add-on: every page on this site is one call to it, so what you see is exactly what you get.
  • An MCP server with an age tool, so an assistant can ask "are these listings stale" without you writing a query.
Decision

Which to pick

Pick Hirebase if…

You need maximum coverage of the US and Western Europe today and are willing to pay $99–999 a month for it.

Pick Hiring Index if…

You care about how long roles have been open, or you want the aggregates without building the analytics yourself.

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.
