TheirStack

TheirStack provides commercial datasets derived from job postings, technology mentions and hiring-related buying-intent signals^[1]. These products support company research and go-to-market workflows; their suitability for investment research depends on the coverage and historical properties of the licensed dataset.

TheirStack is a first-party provider on AltData.wiki. This relationship should be considered when evaluating this entry: provider-supplied product descriptions and coverage figures are not an independent assessment of data quality or investment performance.

What the company does

TheirStack collects and structures job-posting observations for API and bulk access^[1][2]. Open and close timestamps can help reconstruct posting histories, but do not by themselves establish what information was available to a researcher on a past date. Point-in-time evaluation also requires observation timestamps, revision history and documented treatment of late discoveries and missing postings.

Around that core, the company expanded into related signal families: technographics (which technologies companies adopt and when they switch)^[3] and buying intents (what companies are buying, complying with and investing in, read from their hiring topics)^[4].

Available datasets

The catalog includes three TheirStack products: job-postings^[2], technographics^[3] and buying-intents^[4]. Their product pages describe posting histories, technology detections and hiring-derived topic signals respectively. Coverage counts change over time; consult those pages and the licensed data dictionary for current scope. A technology mention or hiring topic is evidence for an inference, not proof of an installed technology or completed purchase.

All three are licensed products rather than open downloads; each one has its own article on the datasets hub with delivery, history and refresh details^[5].

Data history and methodology

The job-postings product page describes historical coverage and refresh frequency^[2]; these should be checked for the specific delivery and subscription being evaluated. For technographics, distinguish observed mentions from inferred adoption or removal^[3]. Before backtesting either product, inspect observation dates, corrections, entity matching and changes in collection coverage. A missing observation does not necessarily mean a job closed or a company stopped using a technology.

Delivery and pricing

Consult the product documentation and pricing page for available API access, bulk formats, delivery destinations and refresh schedules^[1][5]. These terms can differ between products and subscriptions. Confirm historical access, redistribution rights, retention limits and evaluation conditions rather than assuming a public API tier includes every dataset or delivery method.

Buyers and use cases

Potential research applications include monitoring hiring by company or sector and identifying companies for further due diligence. Hiring can reflect replacement needs, turnover or recruiting policy as well as expansion; it should not be treated as a demonstrated leading indicator of revenue without validation. Hiring-derived intent can help prioritize commercial research but does not establish purchasing intent on its own.

For an evaluation, define a target population and historical cutoff, compare observations with independent records, and measure missingness and entity-matching errors. This entry does not establish predictive returns or independently verify customer adoption.
