freehire-search

A search tool for live software, technology, data, and engineering job listings from many countries and remote markets. It uses freehire.me, a job board that combines postings from about 50 applicant-tracking systems, the services companies use to manage hiring.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find or look up software, data, engineering, and other technology jobs, including remote roles and specific postings.
Why use it?
It avoids searching many company career sites separately and returns listings in a common format with filters for technical roles, skills, seniority, and location.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

freehire-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (cli/src/cli.ts, cli/src/commands/detail.ts, cli/src/commands/search.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

freehire Search Skill

Search live job listings from the freehire.me job aggregator — an open-source IT job board that normalizes postings from ~50 ATS platforms across many countries into one schema. No authentication, no API key, and zero runtime dependencies — it runs with just bun. The market is chosen per query via facet flags (--region, --country), so the same skill works for a forker in any market out of the box.

This is a country-agnostic worked example of the repo's job-portal-skill pattern, like linkedin-search. Unlike the HTML-scraping portals, it queries freehire's public JSON API, so results are structured (skills, seniority, region facets) rather than parsed from markup.

⚠️ Scope: tech-focused

freehire's corpus already includes some non-tech postings (it crawls whole company career pages), but its faceted filtering — skills, categories, and seniority dictionaries — is tuned tech-first today, so this skill scopes its triggers to software / data / engineering / tech roles, where the filtering is strong. Non-tech coverage exists but is still maturing; don't rely on this skill for general (non-technical) job coverage yet.

ℹ️ Hosted-service dependency (best-effort, no SLA)

This skill depends on a third-party hosted service, freehire.me. Reads are public and unauthenticated — the same zero-signup bar as linkedin-search.

freehire.me is a personal project but actively maintained; it runs on a best-effort basis (no formal SLA). If the API is unreachable, the CLI fails gracefully — a non-zero exit with a clear error message — so an outage degrades this source rather than breaking the surrounding workflow.

Self-hosting / swappable base URL. The freehire backend is a separate MIT-licensed repo — strelov1/freehire (Go + PostgreSQL + Meilisearch) — that stands up with one command via Docker Compose (make up → API on :8080, same /api/v1/... paths). The skill honors a base-URL env var, FREEHIRE_API_URL (default https://freehire.me), so pointing it at a local instance is a one-line change:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
