FoundRole is a free job search platform with built-in market analytics. We combine a live job board with salary benchmarks across every US sector, industry, and company, a Kanban application tracker, and an MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI assistants search jobs and manage your tracker from the chat. ### How does FoundRole's salary data work? We publish median salaries, 25th–75th percentile ranges, and H1B prevailing wages for every sector, industry, and company we track. Numbers are computed monthly from active job postings and US Department of Labor LCA filings. You can compare a role against the sector median, see month-over-month hiring momentum, and check which companies actually sponsor visas — data most job boards don't surface. ### Do you show salaries when a job listing hides them? Yes. When an employer doesn't publish pay, we show an estimated salary range based on our analytics for that role, company, and location. The estimate is clearly labeled so you can tell it apart from an employer-stated figure. This means you rarely hit a listing with no salary signal at all. ### What sector, industry, and company data do you publish? Every sector (14) and industry (300+) has its own page with median pay, salary ranges, top hiring companies, in-demand roles and specializations, and H1B sponsorship trends. Every company we track has a page with its open roles, typical pay bands, historical hiring activity, and H1B data. Browse it at /sectors or from any job listing. ### What is the FoundRole MCP server? An open-source Model Context Protocol server that connects FoundRole to any MCP-compatible AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others. Once connected, you can search jobs, save roles to your tracker, add notes, and set reminders directly from the chat. Source: github.com/foundrole/jobs-mcp-proxy. ### How does the job tracker work? A free drag-and-drop Kanban board with seven stages from Applied to Offer, plus sub-statuses (Phone Screen, Technical, Final), notes, tags, and reminders with .ics calendar invites. You can add jobs with one click from search results, or have your AI assistant add them via MCP. No credit card required. ### How often is FoundRole data updated? Job listings update hourly across 40+ industries. Salary analytics and hiring trends recalculate monthly using the latest active postings and DOL LCA filings. Sector, industry, and company pages show the as-of date so you always know how fresh the numbers are. ### Is FoundRole free? Yes. Job search, the Kanban tracker, salary analytics, sector and company pages, and the MCP server are all free with no credit card required. Premium plans with higher limits may be added later, but the core toolkit will stay free. # FoundRole — AI Job Search & Career Tools Search Jobs with AI. Track Every Application.
