Data is the key to success for businesses in today’s competitive world. Whether you are new to the market or looking to expand your operations, data is the key to increasing revenue and ensuring business continuity. A New York Times report said that 2012 was the breakout year for ‘Big Data‘. Since then, data has been doing wonders in businesses across major markets, and the job market is no exception.
To keep pace with the speed, job boards, recruitment agencies, job search sites, and other companies in the job market are on the lookout for tools to extract and mine information through any scale of complexity. It is where JobsPikr comes into play. With an experienced tech team, JobsPikr ensures that the regular process of crawling job data is automated, thus improving opportunities to grow.

To gain insights into JobsPikr, the go-to expert for job insights and job data automation, SourceForge recently interviewed Arpan Jha, Co-Founder, JobsPikr. Arpan Jha leads business strategy and functions at JobsPikr.
How did JobsPikr first get started, and why?
JobsPikr started as an offshoot of PromptCloud’s custom Data as a Service offering around 2017. We were originally trying to solve large scale jobs data collection for some of our clients. But, we soon realized that not many businesses were solving this problem and existing solutions were either very localized, that could not scale or expensive. That is when we had a major shift in how we operated and introduced the Job Search API in 2019 – which is our core offering today. With JobsPikr, we vision to be the premium job aggregation solution for companies worldwide.
What are the major challenges that JobsPikr solves?
Job boards and job search sites often face challenges in keeping their job listings fresh, while eliminating duplicate and expired postings. And, even manually crawling the company career pages and top job boards is time-consuming. So, JobsPikr is designed to automatically fetch large volumes of jobs to your job site. We extract job details, including job title, job description, salary, location, skills required, and more and also provide customized job aggregation based on our clients’ needs.
How does JobsPikr work? Who are your major users?
We aggregate job postings data from thousands of websites across the globe daily, then enrich this data with our Machine Learning algorithms to derive more insights from job descriptions and make this available via a powerful search API that lets you query and drill down to capturing very specific types of jobs based on your use cases. We also have add-on services to identify the expiry of jobs. JobsPikr offers job scraping solutions to advanced hiring platforms, job boards, EdTech platforms, market research firms, and staffing agencies. Many top market research firms use our historical and current job data to derive actionable insights and make smart business decisions.
What makes JobsPikr different from its competitors?
We are probably the only jobs data provider that has truly global coverage. Also, our data is clean, and enriched with machine learning derived insights – which is unique. We currently are able to establish if a job is posted by a recruitment agency or direct employer, derive key information like seniority level, years of experience, salary, skills and much more. This level of granularity at the scale we do is unheard of in the market.
Also, we do multi-level cleansing and enrich the data by deriving value-added fields as we always aim to deliver top-notch data for all our clients. Whether the client requires data for specific regions or even global data, JobsPikr can help. We cover all major geographies, including the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada, Singapore and more. Also, once the client comes to us, they can sit back and relax. From scraping required job data to API integration to final delivery, we take care of everything and ensure maximum client satisfaction.
So, five things our clients like most about JobsPikr are:
- JobsPikr’s flexible job aggregation API ensures timely migration of job postings from career pages and top job boards to your site. Also, our API supports cursors to consume data in smaller chunks when the overall number of records is too high.
- Unlimited source selection and data aggregation solutions at the required frequency make us a trusted partner for leading businesses worldwide. Our infrastructure and tech capabilities make large-scale job data extraction easy.
- Clients can get historical and active job listings from premium job boards, including Indeed, Linkedin, Glassdoor, Naukri, Monster, and more to keep their job listings fresh. We cover all major geographies.
- Users can derive key information like seniority level, years of experience, salary, skills, and much more. They can choose the information that they would like to access.
- The formatted and quality data we provide can be directly plugged into clients’ servers or job listing databases. This helps our clients in keeping their listings fresh.
What recent product developments are you most excited about?
We always have something new and exciting to look forward to. We recently added a module that helps to further scale our data aggregation efforts directly from career pages of company websites – with no human intervention. Then there is the ever-increasing stream of ML-inferred data points. A couple of broad areas of R&D that are currently being undertaken are jobs-to-candidate profile matching by parsing CVs and data enrichment with company & industry-level information.
