Workday HQ Intent Signals Scraper

Stop paying for 10,000 retail and warehouse listings. Get only the HQ & IT roles that actually buy B2B software.

This Apify Actor scrapes corporate Workday career portals and delivers clean, LLM-ready JSON containing only corporate, technology, and decision-maker job openings. No cashiers. No warehouse operators. No interns. Just high-intent B2B buying signals.

🎯 Why This Exists

Most job scrapers give you everything — 90% of which is worthless for B2B SaaS prospecting. This Actor is purpose-built for SDRs and revenue teams:

What Others Deliver	What We Deliver
10,000+ retail/blue-collar jobs	Only HQ, IT, and corporate roles
Bloated HTML descriptions	Clean 400-char plain-text summaries
No requisition IDs	requisition_id extracted for hyper-personalized outreach
No intent classification	intent_category — Data & AI, Revenue, Engineering, Product, Marketing, General
One-size-fits-all	Configurable filters: max age, HQ-only, English-only

🧠 How It Works

1. API Interception via Playwright — intercepts the internal Workday search JSON API (no fragile DOM scraping).
2. Smart Filtering — excludes cashier|warehouse|driver|intern|store|retail|clerk|assistant|worker|operator|mechanic|technician|student.
3. Requisition ID Extraction — pulls the R234160-style ID from Workday's API response.
4. Intent Classification — categorizes each role into Data & AI, Revenue, Engineering, Product, Marketing, or General.
5. Clean Output — strips HTML to 400-char plain-text summaries, ready to paste into ChatGPT or your outreach tool.
