SmartRecruiters Job Scraper — Careers API

For enterprise talent teams and job aggregators scraping Fortune 500 companies that use SmartRecruiters — Visa, Tesla, McDonald's, CEVA Logistics, and thousands more.

Pay per result — $1.50 / 1,000 jobs. Official API. No proxy. No login. No browser. Batch mode for 100+ companies.

Scrape job postings from any SmartRecruiters-powered company careers page. Returns structured job data — title, location, seniority, remote type, department, employment type, descriptions, and parse_confidence — via the official zero-auth SmartRecruiters public API.

Why this scraper

• Official API, zero proxy — SmartRecruiters public API is open and stable; no browser automation, no residential proxy cost, no bans.
• Seniority enrichment — 11-level title-regex classification with SmartRecruiters native experienceLevel as fallback.
• Authoritative remote_type — reads the structured location.remote and location.hybrid boolean flags, not just text keywords.
• parse_confidence — every record carries a data-quality score so you can filter or alert on drift without manual inspection.
• Batch + filter — scrape 10, 100, or 1000 companies in one run with keyword and remote filters applied server-side.

Input

{
  "companies": ["Visa", "TESLA", "McDonaldS"],
  "titleKeyword": "engineer",
  "locationKeyword": "Austin",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 50,
  "includeDescriptions": false
}

Finding the slug: the slug is the company identifier in the SmartRecruiters URL. For jobs.smartrecruiters.com/Visa the slug is Visa. Slugs are case-sensitive — use the exact casing from the URL.

includeDescriptions: disabled by default because descriptions require one extra API call per job. Enable only when you need full text for AI/NLP pipelines.

Pricing

Pay-per-result: $1.50 / 1,000 jobs ($0.0015 per record). You pay only for jobs returned — nothing for companies that come back empty.

Worked example: 3 companies × 50 jobs = 150 results = $0.23. 20 companies × 100 jobs = 2,000 results = $3.00.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or proxy? No. SmartRecruiters' public careers API is open — no auth, no proxy cost, no bans.

What output formats are available? JSON, JSONL, CSV, and Excel via the Apify dataset export, plus the Apify REST API.

Can I schedule daily runs? Yes — use Apify Scheduler. Use global_id (smartrecruiters:<company>:<job_id>) as a stable key for deduplication across runs.

What if includeDescriptions is enabled and a job returns no description? The actor still pushes the job — description fields are null and parse_confidence is slightly reduced. The run never crashes on missing optional data.

Vs competitor comparison

parse_confidence (0.0–1.0) and warnings in every record — data quality signal so your pipeline detects schema drift before output breaks.

Note on includeDescriptions: disabled by default because SmartRecruiters descriptions require one extra API call per job (unlike most ATS platforms where descriptions are inline). Enable only when you need full text for AI/NLP pipelines.

Integrations

Built for enterprise talent teams and job aggregators scraping Fortune 500 hiring pipelines at scale — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

• n8n / Make / Zapier — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: n8n, Make, Zapier.
• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline (docs).
• MCP server — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation (guide).
• API & SDKs — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
