Freehire is a free, open-source job-search service that collects listings directly from company career pages rather than relying only on conventional job boards. It says its catalogue contains 3,875,870 unique jobs from 579,975 companies, gathered across 381 sources and 157 applicant-tracking systems. Listings are deduplicated and tagged by role, technology stack, seniority, and location, with filters for fields such as software engineering, data, security, and remote work. The site presents its catalogue totals as live figures and provides an endpoint behind the data.
The service is designed to work both as a website and within other tools. Users can search without an account, connect through MCP to AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT, or use a command-line tool that installs as a single binary and includes agent skills. A separate Chrome extension supports applications on any job site, including listings Freehire does not track: it reads the page, compares the role with a user’s CV, and helps fill out the application form. The broader product also lists features for CV tailoring, application tracking, notifications, referrals, and job-market insights. Overall, Freehire combines a large, source-linked job catalogue with AI-agent and browser-based tools for managing applications.

Sending email is technically simple, but getting it delivered reliably is difficult because SMTP allows sender spoofing and messages can be flagged as spam. Email providers charge for the infrastructure and authentication work needed to build trust with receiving mail servers. (evancz.dev)
