🤖 AI-agent and MCP usage

This actor is designed for use with AI agents, MCP servers, and LLM pipelines:

• Compact mode reduces output to 12 core fields — minimizes token usage
• Description truncation via descriptionMaxLength keeps responses within context window limits
• Deterministic schema — all fields are always present (null when unavailable, never omitted)
• Structured salary — parsed min/max/currency/period, ready for programmatic comparison

{
  "query": "product manager",
  "country": "US",
  "compactMode": true,
  "descriptionMaxLength": 500,
  "maxResults": 50
}

🔄 Incremental mode

Track job posting changes across runs. Only new and changed records are emitted by default — unchanged jobs are skipped.

Change types

Type	Meaning
NEW	Job not seen in previous run
UPDATED	Job exists but content changed
UNCHANGED	Same content (only emitted if emitUnchanged is true)
EXPIRED	Was in previous state but not found in current run (only if emitExpired is true)
REAPPEARED	Was previously expired but found again

💡 Use cases

Salary benchmarking

Collect structured salary data across roles, markets, and companies. Glassdoor's salary coverage is among the highest of any job platform — most listings include employer-provided ranges parsed into min/max/currency/period.

Job market intelligence

Monitor hiring trends by keyword, location, or industry. Use incremental mode to track how the job market evolves over time — which roles are growing, which are shrinking.

Recruitment and lead generation

Extract hiring companies with ratings, industry, and contact details for B2B outreach. Filter by job type, remote preference, and posting age to find active hiring signals.

Competitor monitoring

Track how a company's job postings change over time with incremental mode. Detect new roles, removed positions, and salary adjustments automatically.

⚠️ Known limitations

• Detail pages require rendering — detail enrichment is slower than SERP-only mode. Set includeDetails to false for faster results when full descriptions are not needed.
• Company profiles — separate company overview pages are not currently accessible. Company data (rating, industry, logo) comes from job detail pages instead — this covers the most useful fields.
• Rate limiting — Glassdoor may throttle requests at high volume. The actor handles this gracefully but results may be incomplete for very large batches.
• Deduplication — results are deduplicated by job key across all search sources within a single run.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Glassdoor?

$0.004 per emitted result ($4.00 per 1,000 jobs).

Scenario	Results	Cost
Quick search	20 jobs	$0.08
Market scan	100 jobs	$0.40
Large batch	500 jobs	$2.00
Daily monitor (incremental)	~10 new/day	~$0.04/day

In incremental mode, unchanged jobs are not emitted by default — so you only pay for new and changed records. A daily monitor that finds 10 new jobs costs about $1.20/month.
