🦘 SEEK Jobs Scraper - Australia & NZ, Full Ads + Contacts

Scrape SEEK (seek.com.au and seek.co.nz) job listings with the full ad and the contact details written in it. Search by keyword and location with SEEK's own filters: classification (industry), work type, remote / hybrid / on-site, date listed and minimum salary. One row per job: title, company, advertiser, location and area, work type, work arrangement, classification and sub-classification, salary text, listed date, teaser, bullet points, job URL, company profile, plus the full description, the contact email and phone listed in the ad, expiry date, external-apply flag and advertiser verification. No login, no cookies.

What we add on top of SEEK's data:

• Parsed salary: min / max / period (hour, day, week, month, year) and an annualized range ($49-$57 per hour → 96,824-112,632), so hourly contracts and salaried roles sort together. plusSuper tells you when super / KiwiSaver is on top.
• Recruitment-agency flag (isRecruitmentAgency): from the advertiser's name and the ad's wording ("our client is..."). Use excludeRecruitmentAgencies to keep direct employers only.
• Department, seniority class and tech stack mentioned in the ad (languages, cloud, data, AI, CRM, ERP...).
• No 550-result ceiling: SEEK stops paging at ~550 jobs per search. Bigger requests are split by classification and state / region automatically and merged without duplicates (up to 5,000 per search).
• onlyWithContacts: keep only ads that list an email or phone (it searches deeper to fill your maxJobs).
