Is JSearch better than Hiring Index?

For some jobs, yes — You need raw rows as cheaply as possible and will do your own cleaning. We would rather tell you that than have you find out after a month of integration.

What does Hiring Index do that JSearch does not?

Salary is normalised to a currency and period, so a median actually means something.

Where did these numbers come from?

From JSearch's own published pages, read on 27–28 August 2026. They are that vendor's claims, not our measurements, and vendors update their pages — check the current figures before you decide.

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.
