NIJobs Scraper

Collect job listings from nijobs.com across Northern Ireland and turn them into clean, structured rows. Search by keyword and town with filters, or paste results-page URLs. Every record carries the job title, the hiring company (name, profile URL, logo), the location, the salary text, the posting and closing dates, the highlighted skills, and a snippet. Turn on detail enrichment and each record also gets the full job description, the employment type, the industry, the work type and contract type, the exact GPS coordinate, the full postal address, and the apply URL.

Why This Scraper?

• 60+ fields per job, on a stable schema, so the output drops straight into any pipeline.
• Full job description (both HTML and plain text), plus employment type, industry, work type and contract type.
• Exact GPS coordinate (latitude and longitude) and the full postal address (town, county, postcode, country).
• Hiring company name, profile URL and logo, with sponsored / highlighted / work-from-home flags.
• Two ways to run: search by keyword + location with filters, or paste results-page URLs.
• Four sort orders (relevance, most recent, salary high-to-low, salary low-to-high), a posted-within filter, and a minimum-salary filter by year / day / hour.
• Forward pagination and a single clear Max items cap.

Company Reviews

nijobs.com does not publish company reviews or employer ratings. The company profile pages show only company details and current vacancies — there is no review body, star rating, or review count anywhere in the public site, and there is no reviews endpoint. The output therefore includes the placeholder fields companyRating, companyReviewCount and companyReviews on a stable schema, but they are always empty because the site exposes no such data. If nijobs.com adds employer reviews in the future, these fields are ready to carry them.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe each result into the apps you already use through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, Integrations, then select it in the mcpConnectors field. Each connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per item (title plus key fields); the complete record always stays in the dataset. Supported connectors include Notion, Linear, Airtable and Apify. For Notion, set notionParentPageUrl to the page under which item pages should be created, and use maxNotifyListings to cap how many items are written per run.

Plan Requirement

This actor runs on any Apify plan, including the free tier.
