SEEK Companies & Reviews Scraper (Australia + New Zealand)

Pull company profiles and employee reviews from au.seek.com and nz.seek.com, the two largest jobseeker platforms in their respective markets. Two output modes: company aggregates with embedded top reviews, or one row per review for sentiment analysis pipelines. Region auto-detected per URL.

Why This Scraper?

• Two modes from one input: companies (one row per company, top reviews embedded) or reviews (one row per individual review).
• Rich field set per company: overall rating, 5-star distribution, six per-category sub-ratings (work-life balance, executive management, perks, diversity, career, environment), recommended %, salary perception score, total open jobs, branding (logo + cover), AI-generated review summary, perks, awards.
• Optional embedded open jobs: enable includeJobs to pull the company's currently-listed positions (id, title, location, work type, classification, listing date) and embed them on the company record. One actor, the full hiring picture.
• Full review record: title, pros, cons, long-form experience details, reviewer job title, employment status, salary perception, work location, per-category ratings, upvote count, reviewed-on date.
• Pagination beyond 30 reviews: the SSR snapshot ships 30 top reviews per company; for full-history pulls the actor walks paginated GraphQL pages automatically.
• Region auto-detect per URL: mix au.seek.com and nz.seek.com URLs in the same input; the actor routes each to the right host.
• Cheap and fast: companies-mode run completes in seconds per company, lightweight enough for the Apify Free plan.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mode	string enum	"companies"	"companies" (one row per company, top reviews embedded) or "reviews" (one row per individual review).
region	string enum	"AU"	"AU" (au.seek.com) or "NZ" (nz.seek.com). Auto-detected per URL when urls is set.
keywords	string	""	Company-name keyword for search mode. Ignored if urls is set.
urls	array	[]	List of SEEK company URLs (/companies/<slug> or /companies/<slug>/reviews). When set, overrides keywords.
maxReviewsPerCompany	integer	5	Companies mode: top-N reviews to embed. Reviews mode: max reviews to fan out per company. Set 0 to use the SSR default of 30. Values above 30 trigger paginated GraphQL fetches.
reviewSort	string enum	"helpful"	"helpful" (most upvoted first, ideal for top-N) or "recent" (newest first, ideal for ongoing monitoring).
includeAISummary	boolean	true	Companies mode only. SEEK ships a generated review summary; disable to drop the field.
includeJobs	boolean	false	Companies mode only. When true, embeds a jobs[] array of the company's currently-listed positions on each company record.
maxJobsPerCompany	integer	20	Cap on jobs[] length when includeJobs is true. Set 0 for the full open-jobs count.
maxItems	integer	20	Total cap across all companies. Set 0 for unlimited.
maxTimeSec	integer	0	Wall-clock cap. Set 0 for no time limit.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Datacenter	Defaults to free-tier-friendly Datacenter. For production scale, set apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"].

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape — the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record — not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Plan Requirement

Works on the Apify Free plan with the default Datacenter proxy. For heavy production workloads, switch to the Residential proxy (Starter plan or above) by setting apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] and apifyProxyCountry: "AU" (or "NZ"). Runs comfortably in 256 MB memory.
