# Who's hiring, and who could fill it.

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Recruiters use it to see every company hiring for the roles they place, read from the careers pages today, and to find people by the work they publish: code, papers and talks. Candidates go to Ashby, client leads to your CRM.

## What does it do?

For business development, ask for companies hiring for a role in a place, posted in the last two weeks, with the job post, the salary range when it's listed, and the people who lead that team. SpecStream reads careers pages on Greenhouse, Lever, Workable and Workday and each company's own site.

For sourcing, ask for people by what they've done in public: maintainers of the libraries your client's team uses, authors of papers on the problem, speakers on a conference program. Each person comes with the links and the email they published, and only those emails go to Ashby.

### On top of the rate

What it covers

Price

A named person’s email

Added to the row’s rate when the row comes with the email you asked for. One built from the company’s own pattern counts and is labeled likely. A row without it pays its rate alone.

**+10¢ a row**

Their phone

Added the same way, on any list.

**+25¢ a row**

A detail you mark as needed

For each company that fit everything else and was left out without it, at most 10 for each row you asked for. The ones that have it come back as rows.

**5¢ a company**

Related records

A related list, such as a company’s jobs or a creator’s posts, includes 10 records a row. Each further 10 are 10¢.

**10¢ per 10**

Rechecks

5¢, 15¢ or 50¢ a row to read it again and say what changed. A contact adds half its price too.

**Half the rate**

Rows from your own list

For each one SpecStream finds and checks. One that matches pays its rate instead. Importing is free, and a row it can’t find costs nothing.

**5¢ a row**

Placing addresses on the map

Each imported address lands at its postcode, and rows with their own coordinates keep them.

**Free**

Every account starts with $10 of work, no card. Pro is $19 a month for $19 of work, and the rates are the same on every plan. [Every plan and price](https://specstream.ai/pricing.md)

## Is it for you?

How it compares:

### Choose something else if…

-   You need to search hundreds of millions of profiles in one placeSpecStream doesn't sign in to LinkedIn or any other site.

### Go with if…

-   You win clients by calling the week a role opensJob posts are read from the careers pages.

-   Your best candidates show their work in publicCode, papers and talks, each linked.

-   Every email has to be one the person publishedThat is the only kind Ashby receives.

## Use it with the rest of SpecStream.

Every SpecStream tool works on the same lists, so nothing gets copied from one to the next.

## Questions?

### **Does it read LinkedIn?**

It reads public pages and doesn't sign in as anyone, so nothing behind a LinkedIn login. A public profile link comes back with a person when a page links it.

### **Where do the job posts come from?**

The companies' careers pages, including those on Greenhouse, Lever, Workable and Workday, and their own sites. Each post is linked with the date it was read.

### **What about candidates who want to be left out?**

Anyone can opt out at specstream.ai/opt-out by email, phone, profile link, or name with employer, and they are left out of future work and saved results.
