SimplyHired Job Search & Salary Parser

SimplyHired gathers job postings from employer career sites, staffing agencies, and niche job boards across 23 country markets. This actor turns those postings into structured records: it can run keyword and location searches (or replay search URLs you paste in), or fetch individual job postings you already have, and it returns each listing with its salary parsed into numbers, the full description, coordinates, and application details.

What this actor does

• Search any SimplyHired market: 23 country sites (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, India, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and more), each with keyword, location, and radius search.
• Filter server-side: date posted, employment type, minimum pay, remote/hybrid, sort order, and developer skills (one or several) are applied by SimplyHired itself, so the result count matches the site.
• Enrich every job, not just the first one: each record is completed from the posting's own detail data — full description, salary numbers, qualifications, coordinates, employer rating, and application link.
• Parse salaries in local formats: display text like $140,000 - $180,000 a year, £45,000 - £55,000 a year, 80.000 € – 120.000 € pro Jahr, or 時給 4,000円 becomes numeric salaryMin / salaryMax with the right currency and pay period.
• Maximize coverage on big searches: SimplyHired serves roughly 900–1,000 results per search. With maximizeCoverage the actor keeps going with extra facet searches (job types, developer skills) and merges the unique postings — 2–2.5x more jobs than a single search in testing.
• Optional employer company pages: with enrichCompanyPages the actor looks up each employer's SimplyHired company page (once per employer) and adds its address, headcount band, revenue band, and industry — only when the page's own company name matches the listing.
• Feed URLs as well as forms: paste SimplyHired search URLs or job URLs (or bare job IDs) and let the actor do the pagination.
• Fields a listing doesn't provide are left out of that record — no empty placeholders.

FAQ

Where does this data come from?

Every record comes from SimplyHired's public job pages and the site's own page data, without any login. This actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SimplyHired.

Which countries are supported?

The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Sweden, India, Japan, South Korea, China, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Argentina, and South Africa. Choose the country in the input, or use a search URL from the market you want.

Why are some salary fields missing?

SimplyHired only shows pay when the employer discloses it. When a listing has no pay information, the salary fields are omitted from that record rather than guessed. salary keeps the exact text; salaryMin / salaryMax are parsed from it (or from SimplyHired's structured pay data on the US site) in the local currency.

What's the difference between salary and salaryMin / salaryMax?

salary is the display text exactly as shown (e.g. £45,000 - £55,000 a year). salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency / salaryPeriod are the same value parsed into numbers, a currency code, and a pay period for filtering and aggregation. Use salaryCurrency before comparing values across countries.

How many results can one search return?

The actor keeps paging until your maxItems cap or the end of the result set. SimplyHired serves roughly 900–1,000 listings per search, even when it reports a larger match count. For more than that, turn on maximizeCoverage: the actor splits the search into facet sub-searches (employment types and developer skills), merges them and removes duplicates — in testing this returned 2.3x more unique jobs than a single search. You can also split by date window, radius, pay floor, or nearby locations yourself and combine the runs.

What do the link fields point to?

applicationUrl is SimplyHired's own apply link for the posting — the same link the Apply button on the listing page uses. Open it from the job listing (or with an active SimplyHired session); it is not a direct employer URL, and the employer's own application page is reached by following that button in your browser. companyPageUrl is present only when SimplyHired includes an employer page for the posting: turn on enrichCompanyPages to look the employer up by name instead, and the actor adds the link (plus the employer's address, size, revenue band and industry) only when the page's own company name matches the listing's employer — mismatches and missing pages are omitted.

Why is employmentType in English while the listing is in another language?

employmentType reports SimplyHired's own employment-type taxonomy (Full-time, Permanent, Contract, …), which the site uses across all its markets. employmentTypes also includes the listing's localized labels (for example "Festanstellung" or "CDI") when the posting provides them.

Can I mix several keywords or countries in one run?

Yes. Add multiple searchQueries, or pass several searchUrls from different country markets — each is walked separately and results are deduplicated by jobId.

Do I need an account, cookies, or a proxy?

No. The actor reads public pages only and connects on its own. Fill in the input and run it.

How fresh is the data?

Each run queries SimplyHired live, so the records reflect the state of the site at run time. Schedule the actor if you want recurring snapshots.
