The job data platform trusted by thousands
of job boards, recruiting firms, and job
seekers worldwide.
Google for jobs
I started Hirebase in 2023 out of pure frustration. I was early in my career, deep in a job search, and tech-savvy enough to see how broken the tools really were. The platforms everyone said to use were giving me a half-filtered, second-hand view of what was actually out there, and that affects everyone.
Think about Google. It works because you know you are searching the entire corpus of the internet. With LinkedIn or Indeed, you are not. You are searching a fragment, mixed with reposted listings, ghost jobs, agency postings, and roles that closed months ago. Job boards are scattered into niches. Third-party platforms recycle each other's data. It is genuinely hard to see what is really going on.
So I built Hirebase. We go directly to the source: company career pages, the single best source of truth for understanding the labor market. We are industry agnostic, country agnostic, sector agnostic. Whatever a company is hiring for, anywhere in the world, we want it indexed.
The mission is to understand the global job market for everyone who needs to: job seekers, recruiters, hiring managers, market analysts, researchers, and most of all, the people trying to figure out what to do next with their careers. Hirebase is Google for jobs.
Meet the Founders
Spencer Rowley
Founder & CEO
Spencer started Hirebase in 2023 after a six-month job search where every platform he tried felt broken. He built the first version himself to fix his own problem and ended up indexing more roles than LinkedIn.
He runs the company today, leads go-to-market, and writes most of the things you read on the site. He still reads every customer email.
"The labor market is the most consequential market in the economy and the least well understood. We are fixing that."
Jonathan Koch
Cofounder & CTO
Jonathan is a former Google software engineer with deep expertise in data infrastructure and AI. He built the enrichment pipeline that turns raw career page data into structured intelligence, including the embeddings model that powers semantic search across 300,000+ companies.
If you have asked Hirebase a question, John built the part that answered it. He is the technical force behind everything that ships.
Our Principles
Customer Obsessed
We answer emails ourselves. We talk to customers constantly. We go above and beyond when something matters to them. The roadmap is shaped by what they tell us, not what we assume. They are partners in where this company goes.
Move Fast, Stay Curious
We ship daily, decide in hours, and operate like founders. No waiting for permission. New ideas are welcome from anyone, anywhere, and the best argument wins regardless of who makes it. Slow is the most expensive thing we can do.
On a Mission
The labor market is the most consequential market in the economy and the least well understood. We find that fascinating. We are here because better data, done right, makes people's lives genuinely better. That is the work.
Come build with us.
We are a small team building something that should have existed years ago. The work
is hard, the data problems are interesting, and the customers actually care if we succeed.
If you can engineer at scale, design data products, sell to enterprise, or have a skill
we have not thought of yet, send us a note. We hire for taste and grit before credentials.
