The companies approach would be the way I would do it, what is the number of companies in that industry? You could potentially do that by location to keep them smaller, then you would need to push all of them to a google sheet or other to be in the same place. What are you doing with them, that seems like a lot of job postings to work with

Ah ok so you're doing it the companies approach and then searching that universe. I'm looking for growth related roles in a variety of industries. When I look at find jobs I see like 21M jobs total so would think there's many many companies posting growth related roles (much more than 25K I would think).

Hey Ephraim A. company-first filtering is way more efficient. build your qualified company list using find companies - filter by industry, size, location upfront. if you're over 25k, split into multiple tables by geo or vertical. run find jobs only on that vetted list. saves massive money vs filtering millions of irrelevant postings with claygent. for growth roles across industries - make separate tables per vertical (saas, fintech, ecom). 25k companies per industry covers most use cases. merge results in sheets after. claygent is expensive for broad filtering - only use it for edge case validation. what industries are you targeting specifically? i might have a better approach based on what you need.

Thanks Abdul. That's what I have been doing. I was wondering if there was a smarter way but sounds like that's the way to do it

Anytime Ephraim! glad i could help. Your company-first approach is actually the right move - way cheaper than running claygent on thousands of job postings. the 25k limit thing is annoying but you can automate the splitting. i can help you set up a workflow that:
splits your company list into chunks automatically
runs find jobs on each
merges all results into one sheet
set it up once, reuse it whenever you need. way more cost-effective than claygent filtering.
