Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-usage ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Healthcare Recruitment Demand — Facilities Hiring with Urgency Signals **Built for Mehdi 🇲🇦 (SSM) by [Saad Belcaid](https://www.skool.com/@saadbelcaid).** Find US healthcare facilities hiring with **demand-signal urgency** — repost frequency, hiring surges, multi-location duplicates, traveler/locum/per-diem language, and expansion signals (new clinics, openings). If you sell to healthcare facilities (CRO services, staffing, lab equipment, EMR/software, regulatory consulting, recruitment) — these are the facilities to call this week, ranked by how badly they need help. --- ### The dumb-simple version A hospital posting one nurse job is normal. A hospital posting **15 nursing jobs across 4 locations** with **"$10K sign-on bonus"** language and one of those jobs has been **open 60 days** — that's a hospital in pain. Pain = budget. Budget = buying signal. This scraper reads thousands of healthcare job postings and tags each one across 5 demand-signal axes: 1. **Urgency tier** — fresh (just posted) → critical (30+ days, can't fill) 2. **Hiring surge** — count of OTHER openings the same employer has posted 3. **Multi-location score** — same role × distinct locations under same employer 4. **Urgency language** — "stat", "traveler", "locum", "per diem", "$X sign-on bonus", "immediate hire" 5. **Expansion language** — "new clinic", "grand opening", "newly built", "new location" The signal sentence per row reads like: *"Valley Spring Behavior Health (hospital) hiring psychiatry (Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Position) — open 60+ days, can't fill; 4 parallel openings at this employer; sign-on bonus; new clinic"*. CRM-ready. --- ### Volume The default run pulls **~1,500 healthcare job postings** in 5–10 minutes. The source has 3,750+ active listings — bump `maxJobs` to 3000+ if you want the full universe. --- ### Max-value playbook #### Day 1 — first run, get volume ```yaml maxJobs: 1500 maxPages: 80 minUrgencyTier: "fresh" ```` Hit run. Wait ~5–10 min. Expect 1,000–1,500 rows. #### Day 1, hour 2 — triage by who you sell to Open the dataset. Filter by: | If you sell... | Filter by | |---|---| | **Locum/travel staffing** | `urgency_language` contains "locum" or "traveler" or "per diem" | | **Permanent placement (recruiters)** | `urgency_tier = critical` AND `surge_score >= 3` (employer is stuck and is paying) | | **Sign-on bonus competition** (recruiters) | `urgency_language` contains "sign-on bonus" — they're paying premium = budget exists | | **Multi-site healthcare orgs** (CROs, EMR, group purchasing) | `multi_location_score >= 3` — same role × 3+ locations = real org, real budget | | **New facility build-outs** (equipment, IT, design, consulting) | `expansion_language` is non-empty — they just built or are about to open | | **Specialty-specific** | `specialty = "oncology"` (or cardiology, ortho, ED, etc.) | | **Facility-type-specific** | `facility_type = "urgent_care"` (or hospital, clinic, surgery\_center, nursing\_home) | #### Day 2 onwards — daily drip Schedule cron `0 8 * * 1-5` (8am UTC, Mon-Fri) with `maxJobs: 500`. Each weekday pulls fresh signals. Built for "build once, run daily, never come back." *** ### Filter recipes (copy-paste) #### "Just give me the desperate ones" ```yaml minUrgencyTier: "critical" requireSurge: true ``` #### "Travel/locum agencies — hot leads" ```yaml requireUrgencyLanguage: true roleFunctions: ["physician", "nurse"] ``` #### "New facility openings (sell equipment, EMR, build-out)" ```yaml requireExpansionLanguage: true ``` #### "Multi-site health systems" ```yaml requireMultiLocation: true ``` #### "Oncology hiring (sell to cancer centers)" ```yaml specialties: ["oncology"] ``` *** ### Output — one row per healthcare hiring signal | Field | Example | |---|---| | **`job_title`** | Cardiology Opening in Elkin, NC | | **`company_name`** | Archway Physician Recruitment | | `facility_type` | hospital / clinic / urgent\_care / nursing\_home / surgery\_center / rehab / home\_health / telemedicine | | `role_function` | physician / nurse / physician\_assistant / nurse\_practitioner / allied\_health / admin\_executive / tech\_imaging / pharmacy / mental\_health / dental | | **`specialty`** | oncology / cardiology / orthopedic / pediatric / emergency / neurology / psychiatry / obgyn / radiology / anesthesia / family\_medicine / internal\_medicine / GI / endo / rheum / pulm / urology / derm / ophthal / pathology | | `location` | Elkin, NC, US | | `date_posted` | 2025-09-13T... | | `days_listed` | 89 | | **`urgency_tier`** | fresh / normal / high / **critical** | | **`surge_score`** | 5 (this employer has 5 OTHER openings) | | **`multi_location_score`** | 3 (same role at 3 distinct locations) | | **`urgency_language`** | `["stat hire", "relocation package"]` | | **`expansion_language`** | `["new clinic", "newly built"]` | | `is_likely_repost` | true (same employer posted near-identical title to same location before) | | `salary_text` | $400,000–$500,000 / year | | `apply_url` | direct link to apply | | **`signal`** | "Archway Physician Recruitment (clinic) hiring cardiology (Cardiology Opening in Elkin, NC) — open 89+ days, can't fill; stat hire / relocation package" | *** ### Why each signal axis matters (in plain English) | Signal | What it tells you | |---|---| | `surge_score >= 3` | Employer has 3+ other openings = real growth or real attrition. Either way, they're staffing up and have budget. | | `multi_location_score >= 2` | Same role at 2+ locations under same employer = multi-site organization. Bigger ticket sales. | | `urgency_language` non-empty | Sign-on bonuses, traveler/locum, "stat", "immediate" = they're paying premium because regular hiring failed. They need help NOW. | | `expansion_language` non-empty | "New clinic", "grand opening" = greenfield build = they're buying equipment, IT, services, contractors RIGHT NOW. Highest ticket-size signal. | | `is_likely_repost = true` | Same role posted multiple times at the same location = previous hire fell through OR turnover problem. They will pay a premium recruiter to fix it. | | `urgency_tier = critical` (30+ days open) | Job has been live a month or more = market clearance failed = they will entertain ANY conversation. | *** ### Architecture - Apify Actor, TypeScript, pure HTTP (no Playwright needed for v1) - Source: HospitalRecruiting.com — verified 3,750+ active US healthcare job postings, JSON-LD `JobPosting` on every detail page - Cross-row aggregator computes surge / multi-location / repost scores AFTER all jobs are fetched - Bounded concurrency (default 8) for fast detail-page fetching - Polite delay (250ms default) — easy on the source ### Costs - Apify compute: ~5–10 min per run × 256 MB ≈ trivial CU - No paid keys needed *** ### Connector OS Station integration Pipe the dataset into Station as the demand side. Each row's `signal` field plugs straight into the I Layer for evaluation against your supply network (staffing agencies, CROs, EMR vendors, healthcare IT, equipment, regulatory consultants). **Flow:** scrape → dataset → paste dataset ID into Station → match against your supply → scored introductions. *** *Built by Saad Belcaid for Mehdi's SSM workflow. 🇲🇦* # Actor input Schema ## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`): Cap on detail pages fetched.
