SEEK Job Scraper — Australia & New Zealand

Scrape jobs from SEEK (seek.com.au and seek.co.nz) as clean JSON — title, company, salary, work type, classification, full description, applicant-demand count, structured location and contacts.

What makes this one different: turn on enrichCompanyRatings and every job row also carries the employer's SEEK rating breakdown (overall, management, work-life balance, diversity, career, benefits, recommend %) — so you can rank and filter roles by employer quality, not just keywords. No other SEEK scraper does this.

Built on SEEK's public search + GraphQL APIs — anonymous, no login, no anti-bot wall on the data surface.

Who it's for

• Job seekers & career coaches — find roles and see which employers are well-rated before applying.
• Recruiters & sourcers — build lead lists with contacts, applicant demand and employer reputation in one pass.
• Market & talent analysts — track hiring demand, salary and employer sentiment across a role family or region.
• Data / AI teams — a clean, documented jobs schema for dashboards, ATS feeds and agents.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

FAQ

How many jobs can I get? SEEK caps a single search at roughly 500 results; use multiple keywords/locations to widen coverage. maxItems bounds the run.

Does it cover New Zealand? Yes — set country to NZ.

Why are some employer ratings empty? Only employers with a SEEK company profile and enough reviews have an aggregate rating; others return null rating fields.

How fresh is the data? Live — every run queries SEEK at request time.

Do I need a proxy? No login or credentials. The public API works from most IPs; the default Apify Proxy avoids datacenter rate-limits. Switch to Residential if you see empty results.

Is scraping this legal? You are responsible for your use. The Actor collects publicly available job data for research and analytics; comply with SEEK's terms and applicable law before processing personal data such as recruiter contacts. This Actor is not affiliated with SEEK.
