SimplyHired Jobs Scraper

Pull every active job posting from SimplyHired (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India) in two clicks. Two input modes (Search builder, URL paste), 40+ structured fields per ad including title, company, parsed salary range, full HTML description, qualifications list, geocoordinates, and the direct apply URL. Walks SERP pages forward automatically with built-in de-duplication.

Why This Scraper?

• 40+ fields per ad, far richer than the typical 10 to 15 from competing scrapers. Includes parsed salary range (min, max, currency, period), city + state + lat + lng, work setting (Remote / Hybrid / On-site), qualifications, benefits, full HTML description, employer logo, and the decoded apply URL.
• Two input modes that both work for individual ads or full searches: build by keywords + location + job type + country site, or paste any simplyhired.com /search or /job URL and the scraper walks pagination forward from there.
• Six SimplyHired regional sites supported in one input field: US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India.
• Per-search budget cap so multi-keyword runs return a fair share from each search; client-side de-duplication across pages and searches via the canonical jobKey.
• Concurrent detail enrichment (six workers) with per-record push, so a mid-page failure preserves the listings already fetched.
• Three-tier proxy preflight ladder demotes from your chosen tier to the default Apify pool, then no-proxy, picking whichever passes the homepage probe first.

How to Use

1) Search by keyword + location

{
  "mode": "search",
  "queries": ["software engineer"],
  "location": "Remote",
  "country": "us",
  "jobType": "fulltime",
  "maxPages": 5,
  "maxListings": 100,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

2) Search multiple keywords with full enrichment

{
  "mode": "search",
  "queries": ["nurse", "physical therapist", "medical assistant"],
  "location": "Boston, MA",
  "country": "us",
  "jobType": "any",
  "skipSponsored": true,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "maxListings": 150,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

3) UK or Canada site

{
  "mode": "search",
  "queries": ["product manager"],
  "location": "London",
  "country": "uk",
  "jobType": "fulltime",
  "maxPages": 5,
  "maxListings": 100
}

4) URL mode (paste any SimplyHired URL, including a single job)

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": [
    "https://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=software+engineer&l=Remote",
    "https://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=nurse&l=Boston%2C+MA",
    "https://www.simplyhired.com/job/abcd1234example"
  ],
  "maxPages": 5,
  "maxListings": 250,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

5) Recurring monitoring (scheduled daily run, only what changed)

{
  "mode": "search",
  "queries": ["software engineer"],
  "location": "Remote",
  "country": "us",
  "maxListings": 0,
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "emitExpired": true
}

Schedule this same input to run daily. The first run returns everything as NEW. Every later run returns only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED listings (plus EXPIRED ones here, since emitExpired is on) — not the full result set again.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mode	enum	search	search (use builder fields) or url (paste URLs).
queries	array of strings	["software engineer"]	One scrape per keyword. Empty = browse without keyword filter.
location	string	Remote	City, state, ZIP, or "Remote". Examples: "New York, NY", "94103".
country	enum	us	Which SimplyHired regional site: us, uk, ca, au, ie, in.
jobType	enum	any	any / fulltime / parttime / contract / temporary / internship / commission.
skipSponsored	bool	false	Drop sponsored / promoted job cards.
urls	array of strings	example URL	URL mode only. Each URL is paged forward independently.
maxPages	int	(empty)	Max SERP pages per search (or per pasted URL). Each page returns up to 20 listings. Leave empty to walk every result page.
maxListings	int	20	Cap across all searches. 0 = no cap.
fetchDetails	bool	true	Also fetch each job's detail page for the full HTML description, qualifications list, employer logo, lat/lng, and apply URL.
resumeFromRunId	string	(empty)	A previous run ID or dataset ID to continue a full-catalogue walk across separate runs. Listings already collected there (matched by id) are skipped, so this run only saves the new ones. For recurring daily monitoring of the same search, use incrementalMode below instead.
incrementalMode	bool	false	Turn on for daily/recurring monitoring of the same search. The first run returns everything as NEW; later runs return only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED listings by default. See "Resume & recurring updates" below.
stateKey	string	(empty)	Incremental mode only. Names the monitoring campaign so its state stays stable, or so you can deliberately share state across differently-configured runs. Leave empty to derive a key automatically from the query/location/URL and detail settings.
emitUnchanged	bool	false	Incremental mode only. Also return (and bill) listings that haven't changed, marked UNCHANGED.
emitExpired	bool	false	Incremental mode only. Also return (and bill) listings from a previous run that are no longer found, marked EXPIRED. Only produced after a run that fully scanned the tracked search.
proxy	object	Apify Residential US	SimplyHired requires residential routing pinned to the country site you query (Datacenter exit IPs are rejected). Default = { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"], apifyProxyCountry: "US" }. For other regions set the country code to match (GB / CA / AU / IE / IN). Apify Free plans without residential access can paste their own residential proxy URLs in this field.

Resume & recurring updates

Two different things, both under one input section, so they don't get confused:

• resumeFromRunId continues one specific interrupted run. Paste the ID of a previous run (or its dataset), and this run skips every listing id already saved there, appending only new listings. Good for an unbounded pull (maxPages left empty, maxListings: 0) that got cut off.

• incrementalMode is for recurring monitoring of the SAME search (e.g. scheduled daily). Turn it on and the actor remembers the previous run's results itself — no run/dataset id to paste. Each listing in the output gets a changeType:

  • NEW — never seen before for this search.
  • UPDATED — seen before, but at least one field changed since last time (see changedFields).
  • REAPPEARED — was previously marked EXPIRED, now found again.
  • UNCHANGED — identical to last time. Only emitted when emitUnchanged is on (off by default — it would otherwise return, and bill for, rows you already have).
  • EXPIRED — was seen before, no longer found. Only emitted when emitExpired is on, and only after a run that fully scanned the tracked search (a capped, blocked, or resumeFromRunId run never marks listings expired, since it never proved they're actually gone).

  State is tracked separately per query/location/country/jobType/skipSponsored/URL-set/fetchDetails combination (or under one shared campaign if you set stateKey), so two differently-configured runs never mix baselines. resumeFromRunId and incrementalMode can bootstrap together on the very first incremental run for a search (the resumed dataset seeds the new baseline); combining them once a baseline already exists fails fast instead of silently mixing a partial scan into the state.

Independently of both, a checkpoint is saved automatically as the run progresses. If the run is interrupted by an Apify platform migration or you click Resurrect on a failed run, it picks back up in the same run without re-saving (or re-charging for) listings it already collected. No input is needed for this; it's automatic.

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.

Output Example

Sample shape: values are illustrative placeholders, not from a live ad. changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt, and lastSeenAt are only added when incrementalMode is on — a normal run's output shape below is unchanged.

Plan Requirement

This scraper requires Apify Residential proxy access (Apify Starter plan or higher). SimplyHired blocks Datacenter exit IPs, so the default proxy in this actor is { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"], apifyProxyCountry: "US" }. For UK / CA / AU / IE / IN regional sites, change apifyProxyCountry to match (GB, CA, AU, IE, IN). Free-plan users can paste their own residential proxy URLs into the proxy field.
