straight from the source
01
Straight from the source
Every listing is crawled from a company's own ATS and links to the original posting — no recruiter reposts, no aggregator middlemen.
02
One schema, deduplicated
The same role posted to three boards collapses into one entry — normalized into a single shape and deduped on a stable key.
03
No dead links
A liveness sweep probes open postings and closes the ones that 404 or expire, so what you open is still open.
mission
A job board that works for you, not for recruiters. No paywalls, no sponsored listings, no CV harvesting. Free to use, and free to fork.
how it works
01
Aggregate
Adapters crawl public ATS boards — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and more — straight from the companies that are hiring.
02
Normalize & dedupe
Every posting is mapped to one schema and deduplicated, so the same role never shows up twice across boards.
03
Enrich
An AI pass tags each job with stack, seniority, remote policy and salary — so the filters actually work.
track your search
Track every application on your board.
Save the openings worth a second look, mark the ones you applied to, and drag each card
through its stages — Preparing → Applied → Interview → Offer — on your My jobs board. See the board and how it works on the Tracking page.
your pipeline
See where every application lands.
As jobs move through your board, freehire rolls them into a pipeline snapshot — how many applications are still waiting on an answer, in progress, interviewing, or turned into an offer. One glance shows what's working and where things stall.
features
Advanced search
Twenty filters — role, stack, region, company, terms and posting trust — and almost every one can also mean "not this." Save the search and freehire keeps running it for you.
How the filters work →Browser extension
A job-application agent in Chrome's side panel: it reads the posting you are on, scores it against your CV, and fills the form from your profile — on any site, not just the ones we track.
How the extension works →Inbox
Connect your mail and every recruiter reply is tagged with what it says, attached to the application it belongs to, and walked forward on your board.
How the inbox works →CV tailoring
Reframe your CV toward one vacancy — pulling forward the experience you already have but buried, and asking about anything your history does not support.
How tailoring works →Application tracking
One board for every application — Preparing, Applied, Interview, Offer — with a day-counter when an employer goes quiet and every reply attached automatically.
How tracking works →Notifications
Save a search and get told about a new match instantly or as a daily digest, over email, Telegram or push — the same channels that carry your tracking nudges.
How notifications work →Referrals
Ask an employee inside the company to put your name forward — anonymously and for free — instead of applying cold.
How referrals work →Ghost jobs
Some postings are not being filled at all. freehire marks the ones whose behaviour and applicant outcomes say so, and shows you every fact behind the warning.
How the signal works →stay in the loop
New jobs, straight to Telegram.
Save a search — your stack, seniority, region, salary — and subscribe to it. When a matching job is added, freehire sends it to you on Telegram as a tidy digest. No inbox clutter, no checking back: connect once from Saved searches & alerts and the openings come to you. Email and push work the same way — see how on the Notifications page.
for agents
Use it from the terminal. Built for agents.
freehire is also a CLI, so an AI agent or a script can search, open and track jobs over the
same API — no browser. Create an API key and it lives in ~/.freehire/creds.json; add --json for machine-readable output.

faq
Frequently asked questions.
- What is freehire?
- freehire is a free, open-source IT job aggregator. It pulls tech job postings straight from company career boards — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Teamtailor and more — removes duplicates, and tags each role with its stack, seniority, salary and location, so you search jobs, not job boards.
- Is freehire free to use?
- Yes. freehire is completely free and open source under the MIT license. There are no paywalls, no sponsored listings, and no résumé harvesting — it works for job seekers, not recruiters.
- Where do the job listings come from?
- Listings come directly from companies’ public applicant tracking systems (ATS), such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Teamtailor and SuccessFactors. Every posting is normalized to one schema and deduplicated, so the same role never appears twice across boards.
- How is freehire different from other job boards?
- Unlike traditional job boards, freehire sources jobs directly from company career pages instead of paid listings. There are no sponsored posts and no paywalls, and because it is open source, anyone can add a new company or ATS source.
- Can I use freehire from the command line or with AI agents?
- Yes. freehire offers a CLI and an HTTP API, so a script or an AI agent can search, open and track jobs over the same interface — no browser needed. Create an API key and add --json for machine-readable output.
- How do I get notified about new jobs?
- Save a search — your stack, seniority, region and salary — and subscribe to it. When a matching job is added, freehire sends it to you on Telegram as a tidy digest, so the openings come to you.
values
-
For candidates, not recruiters.
When interests collide, the candidate wins — every time. No sponsored listings, no pay-to-rank, no selling your data to whoever pays. If a choice is good for us but bad for the person job-hunting, we don't make it.
-
The whole market, not a slice.
We pull from as many sources as we can — company boards, ATS platforms, niche feeds — so you see the full set of options, not a hand-picked subset. Nothing is hidden because it didn't pay to be shown.
-
From board to you, in minutes.
Fast everywhere it touches you — a site that responds instantly, and new postings that land in your feed while they're still fresh. We measure speed from the company's board all the way to the notification in your pocket.
-
Open, so you can check.
freehire is open source and free to fork. You don't have to take our word that there's no catch — the code is right there. Transparency is how we keep the other promises honest.
-
Built to last, not to flip.
We're not chasing an exit or a data sale. freehire is built to keep serving candidates for years — each improvement compounds instead of being a one-off, so it gets better the longer it runs.
