ICTJobs.ch Search Results Scraper: Extract IT Job Listings from Switzerland

---

What Is ICTJobs.ch?

ICTJobs.ch is Switzerland's premier job portal dedicated to information and communications technology (ICT) careers. It aggregates thousands of tech positions from Swiss and international companies, covering roles in software development, cybersecurity, data science, infrastructure, and IT management. Extracting job data manually from search results is inefficient — the ICTJobs Search Results Scraper automates collection, delivering structured datasets from any search page.

Overview

The ICTJobs Search Results Scraper extracts job listings from ICTJobs.ch search pages, transforming HTML results into clean, queryable data. It is ideal for:

• IT recruiters tracking tech talent supply and competitive job postings
• Career analysts studying Swiss ICT labor market trends
• Data researchers building datasets for technology employment studies
• Job aggregators feeding IT listings into multi-source job boards

Key features include flexible URL input for any search page, configurable item limits, and optional error tolerance for large-scale scrapes.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration with three main parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://ictjobs.ch/page/2/",
    "https://ictjobs.ch/page/3/"
  ],
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}

Field	Type	Description
urls	Array	Search page URLs from ICTJobs.ch to scrape. Supports pagination URLs or filtered search results pages.
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum number of job listings to extract per URL (default: 100, max: 200+).
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, the scraper continues if a URL fails; if false, stops on first error. Default: true for batch operations.

Input Guidelines

• URL format: Use full ICTJobs.ch URLs (e.g., https://ictjobs.ch/page/2/ or filtered search pages)
• Bulk input: Paste multiple URLs in the Bulk edit section, one per line
• Pagination: Add multiple page URLs to scrape across results (e.g., /page/1/, /page/2/, /page/3/)
• Max items: Set to 200 for comprehensive results, or lower (50–100) for focused sampling

Tip: Use filtered search URLs (e.g., by job title, location, or experience level) to target specific datasets.

How to Use

1. Prepare URLs — Navigate to ICTJobs.ch and go to the search results or filter page you want to scrape. Copy the page URL (including /page/X/ for pagination).

2. Configure input — Enter URLs in the urls array. You can add single pages or multiple pages for comprehensive collection.

3. Set item limits — Adjust max_items_per_url based on your needs:

   • 200: Capture all listings on a page (default maximum)
   • 50–100: Sample focused subsets for analysis
   • 10–20: Quick test runs

4. Enable error tolerance — Set ignore_url_failures: true for batch scrapes to avoid interruptions from temporary failures.

5. Run and export — Start the scraper, monitor progress in the run log, and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Best Practices

• Start with a single URL to test and validate output format
• Use filtered search pages (by role, location, or salary) for targeted datasets
• For large-scale scrapes (10+ pages), enable ignore_url_failures
• Export to CSV for spreadsheet analysis or JSON for database integration
