FAQ

How do I find a company's SmartRecruiters identifier?

Look at the company's job board URL. If their jobs are at https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/GOOG/..., the identifier is GOOG. You can also try the company name directly (e.g. Microsoft, Amazon).

Does this require an API key?

No. SmartRecruiters provides a public API for job postings that requires no authentication.

How many jobs can I scrape?

The maxItems parameter can be set up to 10,000. For companies with very large numbers of open positions, use multiple runs with different filters.

Can I search for remote jobs?

Global search returns all jobs matching your keyword. To find remote jobs, use searchJobs mode with a query like remote software engineer.

What does companyIds accept?

SmartRecruiters company identifiers — these are typically the company's name in PascalCase or uppercase slug format as used in their job board URLs.

Are the results real-time?

Yes. Each run fetches fresh data directly from the SmartRecruiters API at the time of execution.
