Workday Jobs Scraper & API

Scrape any public Workday career site by URL or company name and get clean, normalized job postings — plus an optional company hiring profile with new and closed roles since the previous run.

Workday powers the careers pages of thousands of large employers. Every one of those pages loads its jobs from the same public, keyless JSON endpoint. This Actor uses that endpoint directly: no browser, no login, no proxy, no API key. Pass a Workday career-site URL such as https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite, or a company name such as NVIDIA or Boeing, and the Actor returns every open posting it can read.

What you get

• Job records — title, company, tenant and career-site name, Workday req id, location(s), parsed ISO country, workplace type (remote / hybrid / onsite), employment type, seniority, job function, absolute posting date where available, the original relative label (Posted Today, Posted 30+ Days Ago), days open, the public job URL and the original apply URL.
• New and closed roles — the Actor keeps a snapshot per board. On the next run every job is marked isNew, and the company profile reports which roles disappeared.
• Company hiring profile (optional) — open roles by function, seniority, country and location, leadership openings, a 0–100 hiring-momentum score and human-readable signals.
• Full descriptions and salary (optional) — one extra request per delivered job fetches the full description and Workday's absolute startDate. Salary ranges are extracted from a sentence that actually mentions salary, including the 240,000 USD - 379,500 USD style.
• Filtering — Workday-native keyword search plus client-side title, country, workplace, function, seniority, posted-within-days and only-new filters.

Three ways to run

outputMode	Dataset	Charged
jobs_and_profiles	One profile per employer plus filtered job records	company-profile + job-result (+ job-description if enabled)
jobs_only	Job records only	job-result (+ job-description if enabled)
profiles_only	One profile per employer, no job records	company-profile only

profiles_only is the cheapest way to watch many employers: the Actor still reads each full board, so new/closed roles and momentum stay accurate, but it stores no job records.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
careerSiteUrls	array of strings	Workday's own board URL	Direct Workday career-site URLs. Fastest and most precise: no detection, no guessing. A company careers-page URL also works when that page links to Workday.
companies	array of strings	[]	Company names or domains. Bundled verified employers resolve instantly; other names are resolved from the company's careers page.
outputMode	enum	jobs_and_profiles	jobs_and_profiles, jobs_only (no profile charge) or profiles_only (hiring signals without job records; ideal for monitoring many employers cheaply).
searchText	string	""	Keyword filter passed to Workday's own search (matches titles and descriptions), e.g. engineer, finance, remote.
titleKeywords	array of strings	[]	Client-side title filter. A job matches when its title contains any of these words.
countries	array of strings	[]	ISO-2 codes or country names, e.g. NL, DE, United States. Matched against the parsed country and the location text.
workplaceTypes	enum array	[]	Only remote, hybrid or onsite jobs. Unknown workplace types are excluded when this filter is active.
functions	enum array	[]	Normalized job functions: engineering, data_ai, product, design, sales, marketing, customer_success, operations, finance, people_hr, legal_compliance, other.
seniorities	enum array	[]	intern, junior, mid, senior, staff_principal, lead, manager, director, vp, executive.
postedWithinDays	integer	0	Only jobs posted in the last N days. 0 = no limit. Open-ended 30+ Days Ago jobs are excluded when this filter is active.
onlyNew	boolean	false	Return only jobs that were not present in the previous run. The first run is the baseline and returns everything.
includeDescription	boolean	false	Fetch the full description and absolute posting date from Workday's per-posting detail endpoint. Adds one request and one PPE event per description.
maxJobsPerCompany	integer	200	Maximum job records delivered per board after filtering. The full board is still read for the profile and change detection.
maxBoards	integer	50	Safety cap on the number of companies/URLs processed in one run. Extra inputs are skipped and reported in the run log.

At least one of careerSiteUrls or companies is required. The Actor fails fast with a clear message otherwise. outputMode: "profiles_only" is the cheapest way to monitor many employers: it still reads each full board, so new/closed counts and momentum are accurate, but it stores no job records.

The optional company_profile record adds openJobs, jobsPostedLast7Days, jobsPostedLast30Days, newJobsSinceLastRun, closedJobsSinceLastRun, netChangeSinceLastRun, hiringMomentum, hiringMomentumScore, topFunction, jobsByFunction, jobsBySeniority, countries and the run history. Workday's board list has no salary, so the profile's salary fields stay null; per-job salary is filled from the description when includeDescription is on.

Use cases

• Recruiting and sourcing — pull every open role from a list of target employers into one schema, with country, seniority and function already normalized.
• Job boards and newsletters — build a Workday-only feed and use onlyNew on a schedule to publish only fresh roles.
• Sales and account intelligence — hiring is a buying signal. Track whether a target account is growing engineering, sales or compliance teams, and which roles closed.
• Compensation research — collect disclosed salary ranges across employers and countries without reading hundreds of careers pages by hand.
• AI agents and RAG pipelines — feed clean job records with stable ids and URLs into an agent or vector store. The Actor is available as an MCP tool.

How it works

1. Resolve each input to a Workday board: direct URL, bundled verified directory, or the company's careers page.
2. Page through POST https://{tenant}.wdN.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs in blocks of 20.
3. Normalize every posting with the shared ATS engine (country, workplace, seniority, function, salary parsing, dedupe keys).
4. Compare with the named snapshot store to mark new and closed roles.
5. Optionally fetch .../{externalPath} per delivered job for the full description, absolute start date and country.
6. Depending on outputMode, push the company profile first and/or the filtered job records, charging one PPE event per delivered record.

Workday reports at most 2,000 postings per board. If a board hits that cap, the Actor says so in the profile and disables closed-role detection for that board, because the missing jobs cannot be distinguished from closed jobs.

Pricing

Pay per event, no rental:

Event	Price	Charged when
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	Actor start (Apify default).
job-result	$0.001	One job record is stored in the dataset.
job-description	$0.001	One full description is fetched and stored (includeDescription: true).
company-profile	$0.01	One resolved board gets a company hiring profile.

A 1,000-job run without descriptions costs about $1.00 plus the start event. jobs_only avoids the profile charge and profiles_only avoids all job charges. Not-found boards and error profiles are free. Every run respects the platform's max-charge limit: when it is reached, the Actor stops pushing billable records and reports it.

Legal and data sources

• The source is the public JSON that each employer's own Workday career site loads in the browser. No login, no paywall, no CAPTCHA or anti-bot circumvention, no proxy.
• Job postings are company data that employers publish to attract candidates. The Actor does not build personal profiles and does not extract recruiter names or e-mail addresses.
• The Actor is not affiliated with Workday or with any employer. Employer career-site terms may apply to your use of the data; you are responsible for your own compliance and for how you store or republish the records.
• Only public career sites are queried. A board that returns 403/404 is reported as a per-board error and does not block the rest of the run.
• The bundled company directory contains only tenant/site pairs that were probed live and returned at least one posting.

When should an AI agent use this?

Use this Actor when a user asks questions like:

• "Which engineering roles is NVIDIA hiring for right now?"
• "Give me all Workday jobs at Intel and Boeing posted in the last 14 days."
• "Is Accenture still hiring in Germany? Compare this week with last week."
• "Find Workday employers with disclosed salaries above $150,000 for data roles."
• "Build a feed of new Workday job postings for these five companies."
• "What roles disappeared from this company's careers page since last month?"

The input is a short list of Workday URLs or company names. The output is one flat JSON record per job or profile, with stable ids and links, so an agent can filter, summarize or store it without extra parsing.

FAQ

Do I need a Workday API key? No. The endpoint is public and keyless.

Where do I find the career-site URL? Open the employer's careers page and copy the URL that contains myworkdayjobs.com, for example https://company.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/CompanyCareers. Passing that URL is the most reliable input.

Why does a date say "Posted 30+ Days Ago"? Workday only exposes a relative label in the list response. Set includeDescription: true to fetch the absolute startDate from the detail endpoint. Without it, postedDatePrecision is at_least_30_days and publishedAt is null — the Actor does not invent a date.

Why did the Actor stop at 2,000 jobs? That is Workday's per-board reporting cap. The profile marks the board as possibly truncated and skips closed-role detection for it.

Can it search every Workday employer at once? No. Workday has no global public index. You supply the career-site URLs or company names. The bundle covers a verified starter set; other names are resolved from the company's careers page.

Does it include salary? When the employer discloses a range and includeDescription is on, yes. The salary fields are filled from the description; otherwise they stay null.

How does onlyNew work? The Actor stores a snapshot per board in a named key-value store. The first run is the baseline. Later runs mark jobs that were not in the previous snapshot. Schedule the Actor (for example daily) to get a meaningful signal.

Are closed jobs returned as records? Closed jobs are summarized in the company profile (closedJobsSinceLastRun and closedJobTitles), not emitted as job records.

How do I monitor many employers cheaply? Set outputMode: "profiles_only". The Actor still reads each full Workday board and computes new/closed roles, momentum and counts, but stores only one profile per employer ($0.01 each) and no job records.

Can I get only fresh jobs for a job board? Yes. Use outputMode: "jobs_only", onlyNew: true and a daily schedule. The first run is the baseline; later runs return only postings that were not in the previous snapshot.

What happens when one board is unavailable? The error is reported as a free error profile for that input and the remaining boards continue.
