FAQ

What's GulfTalent? A leading job board and recruitment platform focused on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, listing tens of thousands of live vacancies across the Gulf states, the Levant, and North Africa.

Do I need a GulfTalent account or API key? No. This actor reads publicly available job listing pages — no login, cookies, or API key needed.

Why do some jobs have no salary? GulfTalent lets recruiters choose whether to disclose salary. Jobs without a disclosed salary simply omit the salaryMin/salaryMax fields rather than showing a placeholder.

Can I combine country and city? Yes — set city and the matching country is applied automatically. If city and country conflict, city takes precedence.

What's the difference between category and industry? category is the job's function (what the role does, e.g. "Accounting & Audit"); industry is the hiring company's business sector (e.g. "Oil & Gas"). A finance job can appear under category=finance-consulting at an industry=oil-gas company.

Why is fetchFullDetails on by default? It's the only way to get salary, full description, and preference fields. Turn it off only if you need a fast run of just titles/companies/locations.

How fresh is the data? Real-time — every run reads GulfTalent's current live listing pages.

A note on URL checks

GulfTalent serves a stripped-down mobile template to bare/default HTTP clients (e.g. a plain curl GET) instead of the full desktop page, so a quick manual curl check can look "broken" even for a valid link. All sourceUrl, companyUrl, and companyLogoUrl links returned by this actor are live and load normally (HTTP 200, following redirects) when opened in a real browser.

Limitations

• Nationality-preference browsing is global across all markets (GulfTalent doesn't offer a per-country URL for this axis); use country/city alongside search, byCategory, byIndustry, or byJobType when you need geography plus a nationality filter combined.
• Career-level browsing (byCareerLevel) is likewise global across all markets; combine with containsKeyword if you need to narrow it further.
• mode=byCompany reads whichever careers-page layout GulfTalent renders for that employer; very large employers are paginated automatically, while smaller ones are listed on a single page.
