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.

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.
