What is the Reed Jobs Scraper?

Reed.co.uk is a major UK job board used by employers, recruiters and staffing agencies across technology, finance, healthcare, education, sales, customer support, construction, logistics, public sector and professional services. For recruiters, analysts and B2B sales teams, Reed listings are a live signal of which companies are hiring, what roles they need, and where demand is concentrated across the UK.

This actor extracts Reed search results from the server-rendered job cards on the public search page. It does not need a browser, account, proxy or paid unblocker. That makes it fast, low-cost and reliable for Apify schedules, daily auto-tests and production data pipelines.

• Salary research - collect published salary labels for roles where Reed exposes compensation.
• Job-board aggregation - add Reed job cards to a niche job board, newsletter or internal talent portal.
• Competitor hiring alerts - schedule searches for specific companies, categories, skills or regions.
• Regional workforce analytics - compare hiring demand across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Scotland, Wales and other UK regions.

Why use this actor?

The actor is built around Reed's server-rendered job cards and stable data-qa attributes instead of brittle browser automation. A plain HTTP engine means lower compute usage, faster runs and fewer moving parts. The output is normalized into predictable columns, so you can filter by company, salary, location, work type or badge without building your own scraper.

It is also designed for store reliability. Defaults are small enough for Apify's daily auto-tests, while maxResults lets production users collect larger datasets when needed. Every row includes the exact search URL, so data pipelines remain auditable.

Because Reed is recruiter-heavy, the company field is useful for both employer monitoring and agency monitoring. Some listings are posted directly by employers, while others are posted by recruitment firms. Keeping the company profile URL in the output lets you separate direct employer demand from recruiter activity, enrich the company later, or build a lead list around the agencies that are repeatedly hiring for a role family.

For commercial workflows, the highest-value pattern is usually to run focused searches rather than one very broad crawl. For example, a payroll vendor might monitor finance manager, payroll officer and HR manager; an IT services company might track python, devops, cyber security and data engineer; a healthcare staffing company might monitor nurse, care assistant and pharmacist. Those focused searches produce cleaner buying signals and better downstream outreach lists.

Tips

• Use specific role keywords for cleaner datasets, such as python developer, data analyst, project manager, nurse, accountant or sales executive.
• Add a location when you care about one UK market.
• De-duplicate downstream by job_id or url.
• Schedule the actor daily or weekly to track new postings over time.
• Combine this with contact-enrichment actors when building sales outreach lists from hiring signals.
