Workable Jobs Scraper

Scrape public job listings from Jobs by Workable by keyword and location. Export job titles, company details, locations, workplace mode, descriptions, requirements, benefits, salary snippets, and timestamps in a clean dataset.

What does Workable Jobs Scraper do?

Workable Jobs Scraper collects public listings from jobs.workable.com search results.

It is built for repeatable monitoring of companies and roles that are hiring through Workable-powered job boards.

Typical runs start with a keyword such as sales, engineer, marketing, or customer success and a location such as United States, London, Remote, or Canada.

The actor saves one dataset row per job listing.

Each row includes the job URL, title, company, company website, locations, employment type, workplace mode, description text, requirements, benefits, and useful metadata.

Who is it for?

Recruiters can use it to track companies hiring for specific roles.

Lead generation teams can find companies that are actively expanding departments.

Sales teams can discover hiring signals that indicate growth, budget, and operational change.

Labor-market analysts can monitor demand by role and geography.

Competitive intelligence teams can track hiring activity across Workable customers.

Job board operators can collect public market data for enrichment and benchmarking.

Why use this actor?

Jobs by Workable exposes many public jobs across companies, but manual search is slow.

This actor turns those public search results into structured data that can be exported to JSON, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, databases, or webhooks.

It is HTTP-first and lightweight, so small monitoring runs are fast and inexpensive.

It also preserves useful Workable-specific fields that generic search scrapers often miss.

What data can it extract?

The dataset focuses on job listings and company context.

jobId	Workable job identifier
title	Job title
url	Public Workable job URL
companyName	Hiring company name
companyWebsite	Company website when available

employmentType	Full-time, part-time, contract, or similar value

How much does it cost to scrape Workable jobs?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start charge for each run and a per-result charge for every job listing saved.

The default prefill collects only 20 jobs so you can test cheaply before increasing the limit.

For production monitoring, set maxResults to the number of Workable jobs you need for your workflow.

Data quality notes

The actor returns public data available from Jobs by Workable.

Some companies provide richer descriptions than others.

Salary is detected from text and may be missing if the employer does not publish compensation.

Company websites and logos are included when Workable returns them.

Limitations

The actor does not log in to private Workable accounts.

It does not apply to jobs or contact candidates.

It does not guarantee that every job has salary, requirements, or benefits sections.

It collects public search results only.

Legality

This actor is designed to collect publicly available job listing data.

You are responsible for using the data in accordance with applicable laws, platform terms, and privacy obligations.

Avoid using scraped data for spam or discriminatory hiring practices.

Troubleshooting

If you get fewer jobs than expected, try a broader keyword or location.

If salary is empty, the employer probably did not publish a salary in the listing text.

If a run times out, lower maxResults or narrow your query.

If HTML output is too large for your workflow, keep includeDescriptionHtml disabled.
