Workable Jobs Search Scraper: Extract Bulk Job Listings by Location

---

What Is Workable?

Workable is a leading cloud-based Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and recruitment platform used by thousands of companies worldwide to post jobs and manage hiring. The platform hosts millions of active job listings across industries and geographies. Manually extracting job data from Workable search results is tedious and error-prone — the Workable Jobs Search Scraper automates this task, delivering structured data in bulk from search results pages.

---

Overview

The Workable Jobs Search Scraper extracts job listings from Workable search results pages, collecting comprehensive job data from multiple postings in a single run. Unlike individual job detail scrapers, this tool harvests data from filtered search results, making it ideal for:

• Recruiters bulk-monitoring job markets by location, company, or industry
• Job aggregators feeding Workable listings into multi-source job boards
• Market researchers analyzing hiring trends and employment patterns
• HR professionals tracking competitor hiring activity in specific regions

Key advantages include high-volume extraction (up to 200 items per URL), search page optimization, and resilience to temporary failures via ignore_url_failures.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration specifying search results URLs and extraction parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://jobs.workable.com/search?location=Miami%2C+United+States+of+America"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	Array of strings	Direct links to Workable job search results pages. Include filter parameters (location, keyword, job category) in the URL. You can add multiple search URLs (e.g., different cities or industries) in a single run.
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, the scraper continues running even if a URL fails to load or returns no results. Useful for bulk runs across many locations. If false, the run stops on first failure.
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum number of job listings to extract per search results page (e.g., 200). Higher values capture more data but increase runtime. Typical search pages show 15–50 listings; set this value accordingly.

Best practices:

• Use Workable's search filters (location, job category, employment type) to narrow down results and improve data relevance.
• For multiple locations or job types, add multiple URLs rather than relying on pagination parameters.

How to Use

1. Build a search URL — Go to Workable's job search page (jobs.workable.com/search), apply filters (location, job title, company, employment type), and copy the full URL from the address bar.

   Example: https://jobs.workable.com/search?location=Miami%2C+United+States+of+America&job_titles=Developer

2. Prepare input JSON — Add your search URL(s) to the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to the number of listings you expect (e.g., 50–200).

3. Configure error handling — Set ignore_url_failures: true if scraping multiple locations and want to skip any URLs that fail.

4. Start the scraper — Run the actor and monitor the progress log.

5. Download results — Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel once complete.

Troubleshooting:

• If results are empty, verify the URL contains valid search filters and that Workable hasn't changed the page structure.
• For large datasets (1,000+ items), consider splitting into multiple URLs or runs to avoid rate limiting.
