JobLockHQ helps homeowners, contractors, and businesses create accountability before problems become disputes. Join the early access list.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the employer's matched name and source domain, a boolean hiring status, count of open jobs, number of new jobs posted within the specified time window, a ranked list of top hiring cities (with counts), a ranked list of top trades being hired for, the retrieval timestamp, and the machine/capability metadata used to fulfill the query.
Example use cases
Vetting a contractor before hiring
“I'm thinking about subcontracting with Hensel Phelps — can you check if they're actively hiring over the last 30 days and what trades they're looking for? I want to know if they're growing or cutting back.”
Job seeker researching employers
“I'm a construction manager looking for work — can you check if Turner Construction is currently posting any open jobs, and which cities they're hiring in most right now?”
Competitor workforce intelligence
“Can you pull up hiring activity for Skanska USA over the last 14 days? I want to see how many new jobs they've posted and what trades they're recruiting for.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.joblockhq.com/joblock/employer-hiring?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time hiring signals for a specific named employer in the construction or contracting sector — particularly when you want to verify whether a company is actively growing, check workforce expansion by trade or geography, or validate a contractor's operational activity before engagement. Prefer this over generic job-board APIs when you need structured, machine-readable hiring intelligence tied to a specific employer identity rather than a keyword search across all postings.
Side effects
- Employer name not matched to any known source — returns empty matched_sources and zero jobs
- No jobs posted in the given time window — hiring may be true but new_in_window is 0
- Stale or unavailable live data — freshness timestamp may indicate delayed retrieval
- Ambiguous employer name matches multiple companies — may return unexpected source
- Invalid or missing required parameters — returns error or empty result
