Hiring.Cafe Scraper — AI Job Aggregator

What does Hiring.Cafe Job Scraper do?

Hiring.Cafe Job Scraper extracts structured job listings data from hiring.cafe. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions) where the source provides them, incremental monitoring that only returns new or changed results on recurring runs, and a compact output mode for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

What data can you extract from hiring.cafe?

Results follow a stable schema with consistent fields across runs. In standard mode, all 85 fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, 23 agent-optimized fields are returned: job identity, location, salary with frequency, seniority, requirements summary, visa sponsorship, and source tracking.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.
