What does the browser extension do?

The Chrome extension (and Firefox extension on Pro) runs a job-application agent in the browser's side panel, next to the posting you're reading — on any site, not just ones freehire tracks. It reads the page, scores it against your CV, and fills the application form. Pro also adds background auto-apply within a daily limit of 3.

Yes. The read API is free without a key at up to 600 requests per minute per address. For higher limits and the right to use the data in a commercial product, there are paid plans: API at $29/month (1,200 req/min) and Data at $99/month (6,000 req/min), governed by a data licence.

What happens if I cancel a paid plan?

You can cancel any time and keep your plan until the end of the period you've paid for. Nothing you've created is withdrawn when a plan lapses, and there's a 14-day no-questions-asked refund policy.

freehire — The open-source search engine for tech jobs

freehire is an open-source search engine for tech jobs. It indexes postings straight from company career boards, deduplicates them, and tags each by stack, seniority and location. The catalogue spans 4,052,523 unique jobs from 600,575 companies, collected from 381 sources across 157 ATS platforms — with every number published live alongside the API endpoint behind it. Beyond the web interface, it offers a CLI (a single binary, no Go runtime needed), MCP integration so ChatGPT, Claude or any agent host can search and manage applications, and a browser extension that reads the page you're on, scores it against your CV, and fills application forms — on any site, not just ones freehire tracks. Finding and tracking jobs is free; paid tiers add AI-assisted applying and commercial API/data access.

Key Features

Source-first job index

Jobs are indexed directly from company career boards, deduplicated, and tagged by stack, seniority and location — over 4 million unique jobs from 600,575 companies across 157 ATS platforms.

Search from your AI agent

Connect over MCP to search jobs, read facets and move applications along from ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP host — free, no account needed to search.

CLI with agent skills

A single binary you can install with one curl command (no Go runtime needed) that ships agent skills, so Claude Code and other MCP hosts can run searches from the terminal.

Browser-side application agent

A Chrome side-panel agent that works on any site: it reads the posting page itself, scores it against your CV, and fills in the application form.

Application tracking board

Track applications on a board, with an inbox that sorts employer replies into the applications they belong to, and ghost-job warnings shown on every posting.

Alerts and referrals

Job alerts by email, Telegram and push, plus anonymous employee referrals.

CV tailoring and auto-apply (Pro)

Pro adds per-vacancy CV tailoring with cover letters, an AI assistant, and background auto-apply within a daily limit.

Free public read API

The read API is free without a key at up to 600 requests per minute per address, with searchable filters and company data.

How It Works

Index from the source

The catalogue is built by crawling company career boards (381 sources across 157 ATS platforms), deduplicating postings, and tagging each job by stack, seniority and location.

Search or connect an agent

Search in the browser, in the terminal via the CLI, or connect your AI agent over MCP — search is free without an account.

Track and apply

Save jobs to the tracking board, receive alerts, and use the browser extension to score postings against your CV, fill application forms, or let background auto-apply handle submissions on Pro.
