Overview
JobsWithPay is a job aggregator built around a single proposition: compensation data should be visible before a candidate invests time in an application. The platform indexes roughly 93,089 open technical roles from 7,793 companies, and reports that 44.3% of those listings disclose a pay range — a figure it contrasts against LinkedIn's 18.7%.
Key Features
-
Direct-source ingestion. Rather than scraping third-party boards, JobsWithPay pulls listings from employers' own career pages and their applicant-tracking systems — Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday and Workable — plus Y Combinator's job board and Hacker News hiring threads. Listings from staffing agencies and duplicate copies are excluded by design, and each role appears only once.
-
Daily re-verification. Every posting is re-read on the source board each day; a role absent across two consecutive checks is dropped. The site reports that 93% of open jobs were verified within the previous 24 hours, though roles sourced from a purchased data feed refresh only weekly.
-
Natural-language AI search. A free-text query field accepts descriptive requests such as remote senior ML roles above a salary threshold, with the model interpreting intent rather than matching keywords. Conventional filters for remote work, posted pay, entry level and recency sit alongside it.
-
Pay explorer and company rankings. Interactive charts rank employers by median posted base-pay range for a chosen function and region — software engineering in the Bay Area, for instance, places Netflix at $388K–$558K across 23 roles. Figures reflect base salary only, excluding equity and bonuses, and require a minimum of five qualifying listings per company.
-
Portfolio pages. Users can generate a public page from a résumé to which the system attaches evidence from public work — merged pull requests, papers, published packages — tagging each skill as proven, stated or unsupported so recruiters can compare it against a job description directly.
The service is free during its beta period, requires only an email address to sign in, and includes a developer API. Its principal constraint is scope: coverage is limited to employers with readable job boards, and the pay analytics are denominated in US dollars.
