## Pricing

from $0.47 / 1,000 job with details

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## GulfTalent Scraper

### What is GulfTalent Scraper?

**GulfTalent Scraper** is a GulfTalent jobs scraper that lets you **scrape job listings from GulfTalent.com**, the professional job site of the Gulf: job title, company, location, salary (as posted and as numbers), employment type, seniority, job function, industry, nationality and gender preferences, posting and closing dates, the **full job description**, the **requirements** and the **company profile**. Type a keyword, pick countries or cities, or paste any GulfTalent link, click **Start**, and download the jobs as Excel, CSV or JSON.

- 🌍 **The whole Gulf:** UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, plus Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq
- 🔎 **The site's own filters:** keyword, country, city, job function, industry, seniority, employment type, easy apply and sort order
- 📅 **Date filter:** only jobs posted in the last day, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days
- 💰 **Salary data:** the salary as posted plus minimum, maximum, currency and period as numbers
- 🔒 **No contact details:** emails and phone numbers are removed from the text
- 🔓 **No login:** no GulfTalent account needed

### What can GulfTalent Scraper do?

- **Scrape GulfTalent job search results** for any keyword, like `accountant`, `civil engineer`, `HSE manager` or `sales manager`
- **Search one or more countries and cities**, like `UAE`, `Saudi Arabia`, `Dubai`, `Abu Dhabi`, `Riyadh` or `Jeddah`
- **Filter by job function** (Accounting & Audit, Software, Healthcare, Engineering ...), **industry** (Banking & Financial Services, Construction, Oil & Gas / Energy ...), **seniority** (fresh graduate to director), **employment type** and **easy apply jobs**
- **Get only new jobs** with the date filter, newest first
- **Paste search or job links** from GulfTalent: a search page, a country's jobs (`/uae/jobs`), a city's jobs (`/saudi-arabia/jobs/city/jeddah`) or a job page
- **Get the full job ad** for every job, or a faster, cheaper list with the main fields
- Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML or XML, or send the data to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier and more

### How to scrape GulfTalent jobs

1. [Create a free Apify account](https://console.apify.com/sign-up).
2. Open **GulfTalent Scraper**.
3. Enter search keywords and countries or cities, or paste GulfTalent links, one per line.
4. Pick the filters you want and the most jobs to save.
5. Click **Start**, then download the jobs as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML.

### How much does it cost to scrape GulfTalent?

You pay only for the jobs you get. A job from the search results is a **job**; a job saved with **Include full job details** turned on (the default), or from a single job link, is a **job with full details**. Every row of a run is the same kind, so the jobs you are charged for are the rows you get. See the **Pricing** tab for the price on your plan.

Every Apify account gets **$5 of free usage each month**, enough to try the scraper on real searches.

### ⬇️ Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search keywords | Job titles, skills or companies, one per line; each is its own search |
| Countries, Cities | Where to search, by name; leave empty for all |
| GulfTalent links | Search pages, country or city job pages, or job pages |
| Max jobs | Most jobs the whole run saves; several keywords share it evenly |
| Include full job details | Full description, requirements, salary, preferences, closing date, company profile |
| Date posted, job functions, industries, seniority, employment type, easy apply only, sort by | The site's filters |

```json
{
    "keywords": ["accountant"],
    "countries": ["UAE", "Saudi Arabia"],
    "seniority": ["experienced"],
    "datePosted": "7",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "includeDetails": true
}
```

Names of countries, cities, job functions and industries are matched to GulfTalent's own list, ignoring case. A name the site does not have stops the run with a message listing names it does have.

### ⬆️ Output

```json
{
    "jobId": "645493",
    "site": "gulftalent.com",
    "url": "https://www.gulftalent.com/saudi-arabia/jobs/network-security-administrator-645493",
    "title": "Network Security Administrator",
    "companyName": "Saudi Networkers Services",
    "companyUrl": "https://www.gulftalent.com/companies/saudi-networkers-services-careers",
    "location": "Jeddah, Saudi Arabia",
    "city": "Jeddah",
    "country": "Saudi Arabia",
    "employmentType": "Full time",
    "careerLevel": "Experienced professional",
    "salaryText": "SAR 20,000 to 25,000 per month inclusive of fixed allowances.",
    "salaryMin": 20000,
    "salaryMax": 25000,
    "salaryCurrency": "SAR",
    "salaryPeriod": "month",
    "postedAt": "2026-10-11T05:00:00Z",
    "validThrough": "2027-01-08T23:00:00Z",
    "industry": "Banking & Financial Services",
    "jobFunction": "IT - Network Administration",
    "nationality": "Saudi Arabia",
    "easyApply": true,
    "descriptionText": "• Strong understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, routing, switching). ...",
    "requirementsText": "• 3 to 4 years of relevant exp in network security, cybersecurity operations, or security administration roles. ...",
    "companyDescription": "Saudi Networkers Services, incorporated in 2001 ...",
    "source": "network security in Saudi Arabia",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-15T09:19:40Z"
}
```

Every row has the same fields in the same order; a field the ad does not fill is `null`. Dates are ISO 8601 in UTC. A run report (Storage → Key-value store → `report-summary`) lists, for every search, how many jobs GulfTalent lists and how many were saved.

### Use cases

- **Gulf job market research:** demand by country, function, industry and seniority
- **Salary benchmarks** from jobs that publish a monthly salary
- **Recruitment and staffing:** daily lists of new jobs in your field with requirements and company profile
- **Job boards and newsletters:** fresh Gulf jobs with full descriptions
- **Lead generation for HR and relocation services:** which companies are hiring and where

### Tips

- **New jobs every day:** schedule a run with **Date posted: last 24 hours**.
- **List only:** turn off **Include full job details** for a faster, cheaper run with title, company, location, function, industry, seniority and posted date.
- **Every job in a country:** leave the keywords empty and pick countries; the scraper reads GulfTalent's whole list for them.
- **Expired jobs:** a job link whose job was removed is reported as not found, and the run still succeeds.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI agents can run GulfTalent Scraper through the Apify MCP server. Ask for example "Get 50 civil engineer jobs in Saudi Arabia from GulfTalent posted this week" and the agent starts the run with `{"keywords": ["civil engineer"], "countries": ["Saudi Arabia"], "datePosted": "7", "maxResults": 50}`.

### FAQ

**How much does GulfTalent Scraper cost?**
You pay per job saved; the **Pricing** tab shows the price on your plan. Free accounts get $5 of usage every month.

**Do I need a GulfTalent account?**
No. The scraper reads only jobs that anyone can see without logging in.

**How many jobs can I get?**
Every job GulfTalent lists for your search, to the end of the list.

**Why are some salaries empty?**
Many employers do not publish a salary; the fields are `null` then.

**Is it legal to scrape GulfTalent?**
The scraper collects only public job ads and removes emails and phone numbers from the text. Check the rules that apply to how you use the data (for example data protection laws) with your legal advisor. GulfTalent Scraper is not affiliated with or endorsed by GulfTalent.

**Can I use it with the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n?**
Yes. Start runs and fetch results through the Apify API or any of the Apify integrations, and schedule runs to collect new jobs every day.

**Something does not work. What should I do?**
Open an issue on the **Issues** tab with your input, and we will look at it quickly.
