How to Find Which Companies Are Hiring from a List of Websites

··3 min read

To find which companies on a list are hiring, find each one's careers page and open it. The bulk careers page finder reads each home page for a careers link or a hosted job board and returns the URL with the evidence, for up to 100 sites at a time (500 after a free Google sign-in).

Recruiters, HR-software sellers and sales teams use it to pick accounts that look like they are growing.

The by-hand way

  1. Open the home page and look for Careers, Jobs, Join us or We're hiring in the header and footer.
  2. Try /careers and /jobs on the site.
  3. Look at where the link goes. Many companies send you to a hosted board such as boards.greenhouse.io, jobs.lever.co or apply.workable.com, which shows you the hiring tool they use.

Step 1: paste the websites

Paste one site or a list, one per line. Email addresses and URLs work too, and the domain is taken from each. You can also upload a CSV.

Step 2: run the finder

Each home page is requested once and its links are read. The tool looks for link text such as Careers, Jobs or Join us, paths such as /careers and /jobs on the same site, and links to hosted boards: Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, BambooHR, Recruitee, Breezy, Teamtailor, Workday, Personio and LinkedIn company jobs. If none is linked, /careers and /jobs are tried.

Step 3: read the rows

Row says What it means What to do
Careers page found A link or a path that answered, with the reason Open it to see the roles
A named job board The home page links to that hosted board Note the hiring tool the company uses
Found by guessing a path It answered, but is not linked from the home page Check it is a careers page
No careers page found No link, and neither path answered Look by hand

What a careers page tells you

It says a company hires, or has hired. It is a signal, not proof of an open role today. It does not say how many roles, or whether the company is growing. A job board link also shows which hiring software is in use, which matters if you sell to recruiting teams. To build a list from hiring activity itself, see building a list from hiring signals.

What this check cannot do

  • It reads links in the first 128 KB of the home page, plus /careers and /jobs when nothing is linked.
  • A menu built by JavaScript, or a page at another path, can be missed.
  • It does not open the careers page or count roles.
  • The limit is 100 sites a run without an account and 500 signed in.

Found their emails? Check they exist before you send

Choosing who to approach is half the job; you still need addresses. Pull them from each site and read how to find the decision maker at a company. Then check them on the verify page: the first 100 email checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card. Each comes back valid, risky or invalid with a reason, and nothing is sent to anyone on the list. For larger lists, see bulk email verification and pricing.

Common questions

How do I find a company's careers page?

Look for Careers, Jobs or Join us in the header or footer, or try /careers or /jobs. A bulk careers page finder does this for a whole list of sites.

Does a careers page mean a company has open roles?

No. It means the company has a page for hiring. Some sites keep one up all year. Open it to see whether any role is listed.

Which job boards does it recognise?

Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, BambooHR, Recruitee, Breezy, Teamtailor, Workday, Personio and LinkedIn company jobs pages.

Why does a site show no careers page?

No careers link was in the home page's HTML and neither /careers nor /jobs answered. A menu built by JavaScript, or a page at another path, can be missed.

How many requests does each site get?

One for the home page, plus up to two for the guessed paths when the home page links to no careers page.
