SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper

SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper exports public job postings from SmartRecruiters company boards. Collect titles, locations, departments, posting dates and job URLs, with descriptions and apply links when published. Download structured hiring data for recruiting reports, account research or your own job-board workflow.

Provide company identifiers from their career URLs, not arbitrary company display names. This Actor does not search all SmartRecruiters employers or apply keyword or location filters.

Quick start

1. Copy a company identifier from a public SmartRecruiters career URL, such as BoschGroup from https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup.
2. Paste this input into the Actor and click Start.
3. Open the resulting dataset to review and export the jobs.

{
  "companyIdentifiers": ["BoschGroup"],
  "limit": 20,
  "includeDetails": true
}

Ready-to-run examples

Choose an example to start with a small, preconfigured input. Board availability can change.

• Scrape jobs for one company — Collect public SmartRecruiters postings with descriptions when available.
• Compare multiple company boards — Gather jobs into one dataset for your own comparison. This does not calculate hiring trends.
• Export a list without descriptions — Retrieve listing fields without requesting each full job description.

What you get

• One row per job, with the title, employer, location and job URL.
• Optional descriptions, supplied as plain text and HTML when available.
• Hiring context, including department, employment type, experience level and remote or hybrid flags when published.
• Traceable exports, with the requested company slug and collection timestamp.

Missing optional fields are null. If an individual description cannot be retrieved, the Actor can still save its list record.

Who is it for?

• Recruiters reviewing public openings at selected employers.
• Sales and RevOps teams adding hiring context to account research.
• Labor-market analysts assembling snapshots for their own comparisons.
• Job-board operators collecting public roles and application links.

Input settings

Provide at least one company identifier or career URL. You can combine both sources, with a maximum of 100 distinct companies per run.

Setting	API key	Meaning
Company identifiers	companyIdentifiers	Company slugs from SmartRecruiters URLs. No API default.
Company career URLs	companyUrls	HTTPS SmartRecruiters career or company posting URLs.
Maximum jobs	limit	Total jobs across all companies. Default 20, range 1–5,000.
Include job descriptions	includeDetails	Request full posting details. Default true.
Max concurrency	maxConcurrency	Legacy accepted setting, default 5. Execution remains sequential. Use values 1–10.
Maximum run time	maxRuntimeSeconds	Optional time cap, 60–86,400 seconds. Cannot extend the platform timeout.

For a career URL instead of a slug:

{
  "companyUrls": [{"url": "https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup"}],
  "limit": 20,
  "includeDetails": false
}

The limit applies to the whole export, not separately to each company. Companies are processed in input order, so an earlier board can fill the limit. Filter the returned jobs by location, title or remote status in your own workflow.

Output data

Each dataset row is one public posting. Optional values depend on the employer and whether details are enabled.

Field	Description
jobId	SmartRecruiters job identifier
refNumber	Employer reference / requisition number
title	Job title
company	Company name
department	Department when available
function	Job function when available
location	Full location string
remote	Remote-work flag when available
hybrid	Hybrid-work flag when available
employmentType	Employment type when available
experienceLevel	Experience level when available
language	Job ad language when available
postedDate	Public posting date
applyUrl	Apply link
jobUrl	Public job page link
descriptionText	Plain-text job description
descriptionHtml	HTML job description
sourceCompanySlug	Company slug used for the scrape
scrapedAt	Timestamp when the job was saved

Illustrative shape only, not an observed posting. Additional fields are listed above:

{
  "jobId": "example-posting-id",
  "title": "Example role",
  "company": "Example employer",
  "location": null,
  "remote": null,
  "hybrid": null,
  "descriptionText": null,
  "descriptionHtml": null,
  "applyUrl": null,
  "sourceCompanySlug": "ExampleCompany",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-25T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Download your results

Open your run's dataset, choose Export and select JSON, CSV or Excel. JSON keeps nested fields together. CSV and Excel are useful when you want to review the records in a spreadsheet.

See Apify's download and export guide for the available formats and field options.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The start event is charged once after input validation, even if no jobs are returned.

The result event is charged for each job accepted for saving. Missing optional details do not make a job free. No separate error rows are sold. A failed export can retain charges for work already completed.

See the live Pricing tab for current rates and discounts.

Tips for best results

• Start with one board and a small limit. Confirm that you copied the right company slug.
• Keep descriptions enabled for text analysis. Disable them when listing fields are enough.
• Plan company order. Use separate runs if you need a balanced sample from each employer.
• Compare exports yourself. Use sourceCompanySlug, jobId and scrapedAt to identify changes between snapshots.

Limits and caveats

• Public company boards only. No login, internal vacancies, applications or candidate data.
• No built-in keyword, location or remote-only filtering. Optional remote and hybrid flags can be missing.
• The Actor connects directly. There is no proxy setting or automatic proxy fallback.
• The result limit is a cap, not a promise. A valid board with no public jobs can return an empty dataset. If every requested board is unavailable, the current version fails with an explanatory message. Inaccessibility does not establish that a board is private or deleted.
• Larger exports may stop with partial results before the selected time limit. Check the run summary and saved output before using the results.
• Apply links, descriptions, posting dates and other optional values are only present when supplied by the source. List-only runs do not promise complete descriptions or apply links.
• This is an independent tool, not an official SmartRecruiters product.

Automation and integrations

Save your settings for next time

Once you have an input that works for you, save it as an Apify task. This keeps your settings together so you can use them again without filling in the form from scratch.

Run on a schedule

Need fresh results regularly? You can schedule the Actor or a saved task to run at a time that suits you.

Each scheduled run collects the data again. If you want to compare results or highlight changes, add that step in your own workflow.

Send results to your other tools

Use n8n, Make or Zapier to connect this scraper to the rest of your workflow. For example, you could pass its results to an AI assistant or add records to a spreadsheet. Follow the Apify integration guides for your chosen tool.

For a custom connection, an Apify webhook can notify your app when a run finishes or fails. Your app can then fetch the results or handle the failure.

API usage

Want to collect this data from your own app or automation? The examples below send input to the scraper and show how to collect its results.

The Node.js and Python examples wait for the run to finish before reading its results. The cURL example starts the run and returns its details. Wait for that run to finish, then use its defaultDatasetId to fetch the results.

For setup instructions, see Apify's JavaScript client guide, Python client guide and Actor runs API reference.

cURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper/runs' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"companyIdentifiers":["BoschGroup"],"limit":20,"includeDetails":true}'

# After that run finishes, substitute its defaultDatasetId:
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?format=json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper').call({
  companyIdentifiers: ['BoschGroup'],
  limit: 20,
  includeDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "companyIdentifiers": ["BoschGroup"],
    "limit": 20,
    "includeDetails": True,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

MCP and AI agents

You can ask your AI assistant to collect data with SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper and help you work with the results. The scraper returns the data, and your assistant can then summarize it, compare records or prepare notes.

Connect your assistant through the Apify MCP server. MCP gives your assistant a way to find this scraper, run it and read the results. Follow the official setup and sign-in guide for your app.

Easier setup with an Apify plugin

If you use a supported coding assistant, the official Apify plugin can set up the connection for you. It connects your assistant to Apify and includes instructions for common tasks. Follow the guide for your particular app.

Use Apify AI in Console

Prefer to keep everything in Apify? Open Apify AI in Console and ask it to find Fetch Cat's SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper. You can describe the data you want and ask questions about the results.

Apify AI is currently in beta. It asks for confirmation before starting an Actor, and normal run charges apply.

Choose your assistant

• Claude and Claude Code (Anthropic): Apify setup guide.
• ChatGPT and Codex (OpenAI): Apify setup guides.
• Grok Bot (xAI): Apify plugin guide.
• Gemini CLI (Google): MCP server setup guide. Use the server URL below with the HTTP configuration supported by Gemini CLI.

Connect just this scraper

To keep your setup focused on this scraper, add this server configuration to a compatible MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Sign in to Apify when your client asks. If your client uses a Bearer token instead, follow its setup guide and keep the token in its secure configuration. Configuration formats vary by app, so use the linked guide if your client needs a different format.

Use Apify's general server

Already connected to the general Apify MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com? You can use it to find this scraper without adding another server. Ask your assistant to use SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper by Fetch Cat, or give it the identifier fetch_cat/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper.

Your assistant can check the available settings and retrieve the results from the returned run. If the run is still working, it should follow that run rather than start it again. Both connection options use Apify's hosted service.

Example requests

• “Collect up to 20 public jobs from Bosch Group's SmartRecruiters board and summarize the departments represented.”
• “Get a small batch of jobs from these two SmartRecruiters company pages and group the returned roles by employer.”
• “Retrieve public job descriptions from this company board and help me prepare a spreadsheet of job titles and application links.”

Normal Apify charges apply. Check the live Pricing tab before asking your assistant to run a larger batch.

Pay with x402

If your AI agent has a funded wallet, it can pay for Apify usage through x402. This experimental option lets an agent use Apify without a conventional account.

Apify AGI provides a prepaid API token with a spending cap after payment. Your agent can use that token to run this scraper through the Apify API or an authenticated MCP connection.

Some MCP setups also support paying for each request directly. That is a different payment option, so check the official guide for its availability.

Follow the official guide for wallet setup, supported payment options and current terms. Apify handles the payments. Keep wallet keys and payment tokens in your agent's secure configuration.

Other ways for agents to pay

Apify also supports MPP for prepaid access through AGI and Skyfire for eligible Actors. If your agent already uses one of these, see the agentic payment guide to choose the right setup.

FAQ

Does this need a SmartRecruiters login?

No. It reads public postings only. It cannot retrieve internal or access-restricted jobs.

Can I search all SmartRecruiters jobs or filter by location?

No. Supply known company boards. You can filter the returned dataset in your spreadsheet or automation.

Why are some fields empty or fewer jobs returned?

Employers publish different fields and may have fewer jobs than your limit. Enable details for description text and apply links when available. Check the run summary for unavailable boards or partial results.

Can I export CSV or use an API instead of the form?

Yes. Use Apify's dataset export or the API examples above. MCP is also available through Apify's shared server.

Can I track changes over time?

Save separate snapshots and compare them in your own workflow. The Actor does not calculate changes or send job alerts by itself.

Where can I see current prices?

Use the live Pricing tab linked above. Runs have a start charge and a per-job result charge.
