Personio Jobs Scraper

Every open job on any company's Personio careers site — with full descriptions, offices, employment details and pay sections — as clean JSON.

Personio is the HR platform behind the careers sites of tens of thousands of small and mid-sized companies across Germany and Europe, from XITASO and Cloover to ottonova and 1KOMMA5°. This Actor reads any of those careers sites and returns every open job: title, hiring company, department, recruiting category, main office and every additional office, employment type, seniority, schedule, years of experience, occupation, keywords, the creation date, and the full description as HTML, plain text and named sections, plus the pay section whenever the company publishes one. Pick the language you want the descriptions in; jobs the company has not translated come in the site's own language. Paste a careers site URL; there is no login, no API key, and no proxy to configure. Built for job aggregators, recruiting and talent-intelligence teams, salary benchmarking, and hiring-signal tracking across the European SME market.

⚡ Quick start

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://xitaso.jobs.personio.de/" }],
  "language": "en",
  "maxItems": 5
}

🧩 Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	yes	—	Personio careers site URLs (https://<company>.jobs.personio.de/ or .com) or single job URLs from one (…/job/<id>).
language	string	no	en	Description language: en, de, fr, es, it, nl, pt, pl, cs, sv, da, fi or no. Untranslated jobs come in the site's default language.
maxItems	integer	no	—	Maximum number of jobs per start URL. The input form starts at 5; leave it empty to get the whole careers site.
proxyConfiguration	object	no	{ "useApifyProxy": false }	Proxy settings. Personio careers sites need no proxy.

Finding a company's careers site. Every Personio customer has an address of the form https://<company>.jobs.personio.de/ (the same site also answers on .jobs.personio.com). Many companies link to it from the "Careers" or "Jobs" page of their own website; open any job there and look for jobs.personio in the address bar or the apply link. Custom domains are not supported as input, so use the <company>.jobs.personio.de address. A ?language=de (or any other language) on a start URL overrides the Description language for that URL.

📤 Output

Each open job is one dataset row.

❓ FAQ

• Do I need an API key or a Personio account? No. The Actor reads the same public careers sites any candidate sees.
• Do I need a proxy? No. It runs without one by default.
• Why is a description in German when I chose English? Companies translate jobs one by one. A job without an English version comes in the careers site's default language (or, failing that, in English or German), so you get a description whenever the company wrote one. The job's url opens it in the same language.
• Why is salaryText empty? Personio has no separate salary field, so pay only appears when the company writes it into a section of the description, such as "Salary information" or "Gehalt". salaryText is null when no such section exists; the full description is still in descriptionText.
• The company's careers page is on its own domain. Custom domains are not supported as input. Use the company's https://<company>.jobs.personio.de/ address; the jobs are the same.
• Can I scrape many companies at once? Yes. Add one careers site URL per company to startUrls; maxItems applies to each one separately.
• Why did a run return no jobs? The company name in the URL may be wrong, the company may have no open jobs, or it may have switched its public job listing off; the log says when a careers site is not found. Open an issue if something looks off.
