How to Find Companies With the Most Open Jobs
Learn how to find companies hiring at scale — those with more than a set number of open jobs — using the matching-jobs filter in Company Search, then export them for outbound.
The number of open jobs a company has is one of the clearest buying signals there is. A company with 30 open roles has approved budget, is growing fast, and needs tools, services, and people to keep up. A company with one stale posting does not.
Most job searches return individual postings. To build an outbound list, you want the opposite: the companies that are hiring the most, ranked by how many roles they have open. This guide shows how to find them with the minimum matching-jobs filter in Company Search.
Why hiring volume is a buying signal
A high open-job count maps directly to intent:
- Recruiting & staffing — Companies opening 10+ roles at once often can't fill them alone and are the best-fit accounts for agencies and RPO.
- HR & recruiting software — ATS, sourcing, onboarding, and payroll tools all become urgent once hiring accelerates.
- B2B SaaS to growing teams — More headcount means more seats, more infrastructure, and more budget for the tools that support a scaling org.
- Office, equipment & services — Laptops, desks, benefits, and workspace all scale with the team.
Filtering by a minimum number of matching jobs turns "companies that are hiring" into "companies hiring at scale" — a much smaller, much warmer list.
How to find companies with the most open jobs
Open a new company search
Add a job date filter
Add a Job Posted date filter — for example jobs posted in the last 90 days. This is required for the count filter, and it makes the result explicit: you're counting recent open roles, not everything a company has ever posted.
Set the minimum number of matching jobs
Add the Minimum number of matching jobs filter (listed as Number of matching jobs with the is greater than operator) and set your minimum. Pick the threshold that matches how you define "hiring at scale" — it might be more than 10 open roles in one market, or 20 or 50 in another. Only companies with at least that many jobs matching your filters are returned.
Narrow what counts (optional)
The count only includes jobs that match your filters, so you can make the signal specific:
- Job title — Count only the roles you care about, e.g. companies with 10+ open sales roles, or 5+ open engineering roles.
- Technology — Count only jobs mentioning a technology you integrate with or compete against.
- Country — Scope the count to a market, e.g. companies hiring heavily across India and Southeast Asia.
Results come pre-sorted by hiring volume
You don't need to sort manually in the common case. With the default (relevance) sort, Company Search returns companies ordered by number of matching jobs, descending — the companies hiring the most appear first, the rest below. If you also added a Technology filter in the previous step, relevance instead ranks by technology-match confidence first and job count second — re-sort by matching jobs explicitly for a strict volume ranking. You can also re-sort by employees or revenue whenever you want.
Export or save the list
Export the companies to CSV — enriched with domain, LinkedIn, headcount, and industry — to push into your CRM or sequencing tool. Or save the search and turn on alerts to be notified when new companies cross your open-job threshold.
Example: a recruitment agency finding companies that are hiring
A staffing or recruitment agency lives on knowing which companies are hiring — and especially which are hiring at volume, since those accounts are the most likely to need help filling roles. Set a minimum number of matching jobs over a recent posted-date window to surface only the companies with many open positions right now, already ranked by volume.
Example: a sales-software vendor spotting a hiring-driven sales pain
If you sell tools to sales teams, a spike in open sales roles is one of the strongest buying signals there is: a company scaling its sales org has budget and an urgent need. Count only sales-type titles and require a minimum, to find the companies building out revenue teams right now.
