SEEK Jobs Scraper - Australia & New Zealand Hiring Data

Scrape job listings from SEEK, the leading employment marketplace in Australia and New Zealand. Get job title, hiring company, advertiser ID, location, area, work type, work arrangement, classification, salary label, bullet points, teaser text, listing date, expiry date, company logo URL and direct job URL. Export the data to JSON, CSV or Excel, run it on a schedule, call it through the API, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Airtable, Google Sheets, a recruiting CRM or your own job-board backend.

What is the SEEK Jobs Scraper?

SEEK is one of the strongest job-market data sources in Australia and New Zealand. Recruiters, agencies and employers use it to publish roles across software engineering, healthcare, construction, finance, sales, customer support, education, mining, trades and professional services. For recruiters and B2B teams, SEEK listings are a live signal of which companies are hiring, what roles they need, and where demand is concentrated.

This actor extracts SEEK search results through SEEK's public JSON search endpoint. The normal HTML search page is protected, but the JSON endpoint returns clean structured search cards over plain HTTP. That keeps the actor fast, low-cost and reliable: no browser, no proxy, no account and no paid unblocker are required.

Use cases

• Recruiting market intelligence - monitor hiring demand by role, location, work type or classification.
• Lead generation - identify Australian and New Zealand companies actively hiring, a strong signal for HR software, payroll, staffing, training, SaaS, IT services and outsourcing.
• Salary research - collect published salary labels for roles where SEEK displays compensation.
• Job-board aggregation - add SEEK job cards to a niche job board, newsletter or internal talent portal.
• Workforce analytics - track demand for skills such as Python, React, data engineering, cybersecurity, mining, healthcare or sales.
• Competitive hiring alerts - schedule searches for competitors, categories or regions.

Why use this actor?

The actor is designed around the stable JSON search response rather than the defended HTML page. That means it can run in a small container and complete quickly on Apify, which is critical for daily auto-tests and scheduled monitoring. It returns normalized fields with enough context for downstream filtering, spreadsheets, lead enrichment and dashboards.

It also supports both Australia and New Zealand through the countries input. Run one query across both markets, or keep separate tasks per country and location for clean reporting.

Tips

• Use specific role keywords for cleaner datasets, such as python developer, data engineer, project manager, nurse or electrician.
• Add a location when you care about one metro market.
• Use countries: ["au", "nz"] to compare Australia and New Zealand.
• De-duplicate downstream by job_id or url.
• Combine this with contact-enrichment actors when building sales outreach lists from hiring signals.
