Stepstone Jobs Scraper: 14 job boards of the Stepstone group, with full descriptions

Get the job listings behind any search on Stepstone and its sister job boards as clean JSON: title, company, location, posting date, home office flag, teaser and benefits. Tick one box to add the full job description, employment type, closing date, industry and address. Search by keyword and city, or set your filters on the site in the browser and paste the URL of the result page.

One Actor, one schema, 14 job boards in 7 countries: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa.

No login, no API key, no proxy setup: the residential proxy these sites require is built in and included in the price.

Run it with the default input to see it work. It returns Python jobs in Berlin from stepstone.de.

Pricing

Pay per result, two events:

• $1 per 1,000 jobs for every job row in the dataset.
• $4 per 1,000 descriptions on top, only with includeDescription and only for rows where the description was actually retrieved.

A job with its full description costs $0.005. Searches that fail cost nothing. Apify's free monthly credit covers thousands of jobs, so you can evaluate without paying.

Subscriptions and shared agent access

Scored signals from SEC, FDA, Congress and other official filings. The daily output is hashed and anchored, so past signals cannot be edited. Agents call it over MCP. See the track record

Every score in every report lists the terms it was built from, so you can check the number instead of trusting it.

This Actor is part of DataSignals Lab. It does not feed the signal reports. The plans below cover those and the shared MCP access. All prices are listed on the pricing page:

• Free. Report previews, a weekly signal digest and 50 free MCP calls per month for AI agents.
• Snapshot, $19 one time. The current edition of one report plus 30 days of updates.
• DataSignals Pro, $29 per month or $290 per year. All three reports refreshed monthly, MCP access for AI agents (2000 calls per month fair use), email alerts. Cancel anytime.

Who uses this

• Recruiters and staffing agencies tracking which companies hire for a role in a city.
• Sales teams using fresh job posts as a buying signal: a company hiring five SAP consultants has a project.
• Labour market researchers who need a daily count per role and region, across countries in one schema.
• Job boards and aggregators covering the German, UK, Irish or South African market.
• AI agents that answer "who is hiring data engineers in Munich this week" from live data.

Limits and honesty

• The sites block some requests. Every page is tried three times. If a description still cannot be retrieved, the row is delivered without it and the description is not charged. In our tests about one in six descriptions on stepstone.de failed this way.
• Stepstone.nl works but has few listings.
• The sites append related jobs after the exact matches and count them in their total. Use match_type or exactMatchesOnly to separate them.
• Salary is filled only when the site shows it without a login.
• To track new jobs over time, run it on a schedule with sort set to date and de-duplicate on site plus job_id.

Integrations

Works with the Apify API, scheduled runs, webhooks, and the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other agents can call it as a tool. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or push into Google Sheets.
