No single free feed covers every company and every live job — a five-stage hybrid pipeline does, and 10 of 45 reviewed options are fully green for skipwait.me
Asked (summary):
For skipwait.me, which free or generously-credited products, services, or methods let users search all company names and then see every live job on each company's career portal — matching the counts on the employer's own site? What does each option do, cost, and may skipwait.me use its data? And how do LinkedIn and other portals get company and job information — can we use the same route?
This review covers 45 sourced options in four groups: 10 company-name sources, 11 direct ATS/career-site methods, 12 hosted job-search and crawling services, and 12 explanations of how major portals ingest data. Pricing and terms were reviewed on 2026-10-24 and can change; this is product research, not legal advice.

Key findings
green Wikidata is CC0 — over 120 million items usable for anything with no attribution required — making it the backbone of a free company-name index. wikidata.org
green Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and SmartRecruiters all document keyless public endpoints that return every currently published job for a board — the closest thing to "without missing any" that exists. developers.greenhouse.io
amber OpenCorporates' free tier is ODbL share-alike with strict attribution and personal/public-benefit limits; a proprietary skipwait.me product needs a paid non-share-alike agreement. opencorporates.com
amber LEIs cover over 3 million entities, but that is under 1% of an estimated 400+ million legal entities worldwide — free registries alone do not equal "all company names". blog.opencorporates.com
red LinkedIn and Indeed receive jobs through employer/ATS partner integrations and closed APIs; their terms prohibit automated scraping — they are not a lawful free backbone for skipwait.me. docs.indeed.com

Recommended MVP stack and checklist
1. Company index: Wikidata CC0 dump/SPARQL as the core, enriched with GLEIF LEI concatenated files and SEC EDGAR company/ticker files (max 10 requests/second). Add jurisdiction registries as needed; treat OpenCorporates as a paid upgrade.
2. Domain and ATS detection: resolve each company to its website and careers host; classify the ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Workday, other).
3. Official public ATS connectors: Greenhouse Job Board API (full list with meta.total), Lever Postings API (skip/limit pagination), Ashby job-board endpoint (all published in one response), SmartRecruiters Posting API (offset/limit with totalFound).
4. Authorized careers crawl: Workday tenant sites, custom pages and unsupported ATSs via a reviewed crawler with per-site permission, robots and rate-limit controls — Workday's official web service is security-gated.
5. Aggregator gap check: use TheirStack (free tier, from $49/mo), SerpApi (250 free searches/mo, from $25/mo) or similar only to monitor coverage, never as the sole source of truth.
6. Count reconciliation: compare pipeline counts against the employer career page; keep source URL, ATS job ID, canonical apply URL, first/last seen times, and status for every posting.
Coverage definition: "without missing any" can only mean every publicly published external vacancy discoverable at collection time — not internal, unlisted, login-only, delayed, blocked, or misconfigured postings. Risk notes: crawling vendors provide tooling, not rights to source-site data — skipwait.me must still obey each source's terms, robots and rate limits, copyright and database rights, and privacy rules; missing legal terms never mean permission; confirm every price and offer before procurement. This is product research, not legal advice.
