## Pricing

from $2.10 / 1,000 job records

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Career Site Job Scraper

Paste any company's careers URL and get every open job as clean JSON. You do not need to know which applicant tracking system the company uses: the actor detects Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and SmartRecruiters from the URL and reads each one the right way. Every job comes back in the same shape: title, department, location, remote flag, employment type, pay range, posted date, description and apply link.

Built for anyone with a list of companies rather than a list of ATS vendors: recruiters and staffing firms watching a territory, sales teams that use hiring as a buying signal, job boards that want a direct feed from employer sites, and AI agents that are handed a company name and asked what it is hiring for.

### Why this exists

Most companies that post jobs on their own site do it through one of five systems. Each has a different API, a different URL shape, different field names and a different set of quirks (Workday stops at 2,000 results; Greenhouse nests offices; Lever has structured salary; Ashby has compensation tiers; SmartRecruiters needs a second call for the description). Reading them one at a time is a week of work. This actor is that week, done once.

If you already know you only need one ATS, the single-vendor FinData scrapers (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) have the same engine with a simpler input. This one is for mixed lists.

### Supported career sites

| ATS | URL pattern | Description in list call | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Workday | {tenant}.{wd1..wd5}.myworkdayjobs.com/{site} | With Fetch details | Any language path works. Boards over 2,000 jobs are split by facet and de-duplicated |
| Greenhouse | boards.greenhouse.io/{company}, job-boards.greenhouse.io/{company} | Yes | EU-hosted boards detected automatically |
| Lever | jobs.lever.co/{company}, jobs.eu.lever.co/{company} | Yes | Structured salary ranges when published |
| Ashby | jobs.ashbyhq.com/{company} | Yes | Structured compensation when published |
| SmartRecruiters | careers.smartrecruiters.com/{Company}, jobs.smartrecruiters.com/{Company} | With Fetch details | Company identifier is case-sensitive |

You can also write sources as `vendor:identifier`, for example `workday:workday.wd5/Workday` or `greenhouse:stripe`.

### Finding the URL

Open the company's careers page and click any job. The address bar shows the ATS: `myworkdayjobs.com`, `greenhouse.io`, `lever.co`, `ashbyhq.com` or `smartrecruiters.com`. Paste that address; the actor trims it to the board. Companies that embed the ATS on their own domain still show the ATS host in the apply link.

### Input

```json
{
  "sources": [
    "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Workday",
    "https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe",
    "https://jobs.lever.co/palantir",
    "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/notion",
    "https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/ServiceNow"
  ],
  "keywords": ["accountant", "financial analyst", "controller"],
  "locations": ["Atlanta", "Georgia", "GA", "Remote"],
  "postedWithinDays": 14,
  "onlyNew": true,
  "fetchDetails": false
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| preset | string | custom | Employer list: `custom` (default), `sample`, `georgia-sc`. `custom` runs the sites you list and falls back to the sample boards when the list is empty |
| sources | string\[] | \[] | Career-site URLs or `vendor:identifier` strings |
| keywords | string\[] | \[] | Keep jobs whose title contains any of these (case-insensitive) |
| excludeKeywords | string\[] | \[] | Drop jobs whose title contains any of these |
| locations | string\[] | \[] | Keep jobs whose location text contains any of these |
| departments | string\[] | \[] | Keep jobs whose department or team contains any of these |
| remoteOnly | boolean | false | Keep only jobs flagged remote |
| postedWithinDays | integer | 0 | Keep only jobs posted or updated in the last N days; 0 disables |
| fetchDetails | boolean | false | One extra request per job for Workday and SmartRecruiters to get description, exact dates, additional locations. Only jobs that pass the title and location filters are fetched |
| includeDescriptionHtml | boolean | false | Add the raw HTML description next to the plain text |
| onlyNew | boolean | false | Output only jobs not seen on a previous run of this source |
| seenStoreName | string | career-site-job-scraper-seen | Key-value store that remembers seen job IDs; use one name per monitor |
| maxJobsPerSource | integer | 0 | Stop after N jobs per source; 0 means all |
| maxConcurrency | integer | 5 | Career sites pulled in parallel |

### Output

One record per job. Fields are identical across vendors; vendor-specific extras sit under `extra`.

```json
{
  "vendor": "greenhouse",
  "source": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe",
  "company": "Stripe",
  "jobId": "6123456",

  "extra": { "internalJobId": 4567890, "metadata": [] },
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-05T01:47:38.912Z"
}
```

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| vendor | workday, greenhouse, lever, ashby or smartrecruiters, detected from the URL |
| company | Company name as the ATS reports it, or the board identifier when the ATS does not expose a name |
| jobId | Stable ID within the vendor. Use `vendor + jobId` as a global key |
| location, locations | Primary location text and every location listed, primary first |
| remote | true when the ATS flags remote or the location says so; false when the ATS says on-site; null when unknown |
| postedAt, updatedAt | ISO 8601. Workday relative dates are converted; "30+ Days Ago" becomes null unless Fetch details is on |
| salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod | Numbers when the ATS publishes a range or the description states one; otherwise null |
| descriptionText | Plain text. In the list call for Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby; needs Fetch details for Workday and SmartRecruiters |

A `RUN_SUMMARY` record in the default key-value store reports sources processed, jobs fetched, filtered, de-duplicated, skipped as already seen, and any source failures with the error text.

### Pricing

Pay per event. You are charged per job record written to the dataset, plus a small actor-start event. Filtered-out jobs and already-seen jobs in only-new mode are not charged. No proxies are needed, so platform usage is minimal.

### Monitoring new postings

1. Set `onlyNew` to true and give `seenStoreName` a name for this monitor.
2. Add your filters.
3. Schedule the actor (daily works well).
4. Connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or a webhook from the Integrations tab.

The first run outputs everything currently on the sites and remembers it. Each later run outputs only what is new.

### Limits and notes

- Public job-board endpoints only. No login, no proxies, no candidate or private data.
- Sites on an ATS outside these five (iCIMS, Taleo, SuccessFactors, BambooHR and others) are skipped with a warning naming the URL.
- A few employers block datacenter traffic and return errors for every request; that source is reported in `RUN_SUMMARY` and the run continues.
- Workday `company` is the tenant name unless Fetch details is on.

### For AI agents

Every field is optional: an empty input `{}` runs the sample boards and returns jobs, so a first call never fails. Pick `"preset": "sample"` to say so explicitly, or `"preset": "georgia-sc"` for the curated Georgia and upstate SC employer list. Minimal call: `{ "sources": ["https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe"] }`. Pass any careers URL; the vendor is detected. Add `"keywords"` and `"locations"` arrays to narrow. Every record has the same fields; `vendor + jobId` is the stable key.

### Using it from code

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('findata/career-site-job-scraper').call({
    sources: ['https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe', 'https://jobs.lever.co/palantir'],
    keywords: ['engineer'],
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

Works the same through the Apify API, MCP server and the Python client.

# Actor input Schema

## `preset` (type: `string`):

Pick a ready-made list or use your own. "The career sites I list below" runs exactly the sites in the next field, and if that field is empty it falls back to the sample boards so a run never fails for lack of input. The other choices add a curated list on top of anything you paste.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Career-site URLs, one per line, from any company whose jobs are hosted on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters. Open the company's careers page, click any job, and paste the address. The ATS is detected from the URL. Examples: https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Workday, https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe, https://jobs.lever.co/palantir, https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/notion, https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/ServiceNow. Optional when an Employer list is chosen above.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose title contains at least one of these words or phrases. Case-insensitive. Leave empty to keep all.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop jobs whose title contains any of these words or phrases. Case-insensitive.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose location text contains at least one of these, e.g. Atlanta, Georgia, GA, United States. Case-insensitive. Leave empty to keep all. With the Georgia and upstate SC list chosen and this left empty, the list's own Georgia and South Carolina locations are used.

## `departments` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose department or team contains at least one of these, e.g. Finance, Engineering, People.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs the ATS marks as remote or whose location says remote.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs posted or updated within this many days. 0 means no limit. Workday list pages only give relative dates, so this is applied to the parsed value.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Workday and SmartRecruiters list calls do not include descriptions. Turn this on to make one extra request per job for the description, exact posted date, job family and additional locations. Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby return descriptions in the list call either way. Title and location filters are applied before the extra request, so only jobs that can pass them are fetched. Slower and uses more platform usage.

## `includeDescriptionHtml` (type: `boolean`):

Add the raw HTML description to each record alongside the plain text. Makes datasets larger.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Remember every job ID seen per source in a named key-value store and output only jobs not seen before. Use with a schedule to get a feed of new postings. You are charged only for jobs that are output.

## `seenStoreName` (type: `string`):

Name of the key-value store used by only-new mode. Use a different name per monitor if you run several configurations.

## `maxJobsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Stop paging a source after this many jobs. 0 means no limit. Workday boards cap at 2,000 per query; the actor splits large boards by facet automatically so you still get the whole board.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many career sites to pull at the same time.
