Turn the monthly Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread into a B2B lead list. Each post becomes one lead: company, role, location, remote flag, salary, apply email, apply URL, and company website.

Companies posting on HN are actively hiring engineers, which is a strong growth signal. The thread is public and read through the keyless HN API.

Who buys this

  • Recruiting and sourcing SaaS targeting companies that are hiring.
  • Developer-tool and dev-service vendors selling to engineering teams.
  • Sales teams using "actively hiring" as a buying signal.

How it works

  1. It finds the recent "Who is hiring?" threads from the HN whoishiring account.
  2. It reads each top-level post and parses the company, role, location, remote flag, salary, apply email, and apply URL.
  3. Each post is scored and tiered, then pushed as one lead.

Output

One row per post:

{
"company": "Marker Learning",
"role": "Lead Full-Stack Engineer",
"location": "Remote (U.S. only)",
"remote": true,
"salary": "$160k-$190k",
"applyEmail": "lucie@markerlearning.com",
"applyUrl": "https://markerlearning.com/careers",
"website": "https://markerlearning.com",
"month": "June 2026",
"hnCommentUrl": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=...",
"tier": "qualified_lead",
"leadScore": 80
}

Tiers and pricing

Pay per lead. The first 10 qualified_lead per run are free so you can validate output.

TierMeaningPrice
listingPost with company/role but no apply email or URL$0.01
leadAn apply URL or company website$0.02
qualified_leadA direct apply email$0.05

The HN API is keyless, so runs are fast and cheap.

Notes

  • Posts are free text, so the company, role, and location are parsed from the conventional pipe-delimited first line; some posts give an apply URL or careers page instead of a direct email.
  • Respect HN's terms and applicable outreach laws when contacting companies.
