who_is_hiring_for

WHEN an agent needs to FIND the companies worth working -- the sourcing step, before it knows which companies exist. Reverse who's-hiring-for {role, geo} search: companies with active reqs matching `role`/`geo`/`since`, deduped by company, keyset-paginated via `cursor`. `role` is free text matched against the posting title, not an id. `geo` is resolved to a stored country before matching; an unresolvable one is an explicit error, never a quietly partial page. `limit` is bounded -- page through the full set with `cursor` instead of raising it. Billed per company returned (~0.10 USD each) -- an empty result bills nothing. role="backend engineer", geo="USA" -> the companies with matching active reqs, each with its pulse and its matched reqs. geo="Atlantis" -> an explicit unresolvable-country error rather than an empty page. No key yet? On the hosted HTTP endpoint the first calls are free: pass `plane_api_key` as an empty string and the search runs on a shared demo credential -- a smaller page, billed to nobody -- until a per-IP limit is reached, after which the answer becomes a signup link whose minted key finishes this exact search. On any other transport a blank key answers with that signup link straight away. Already holding a company_id and only need a yes/no? Use `is_hiring`.
