SmartRecruiters Job Board Scraper — Company Hiring Signals 🚀

foXLabs hiring series: Greenhouse · Lever · Ashby · Workday · Personio · Teamtailor

🎉 Turn any company's SmartRecruiters board into clean, structured hiring data — no login, no API key, one row per open role. Built for recruiters, sales & competitive-intelligence teams, and anyone scoring hiring intent at scale.

🔍 What is the SmartRecruiters Job Board Scraper — and when should you use it?

SmartRecruiters runs the careers site for large global employers (Bosch, Western Digital and more). Give this actor a company identifier (BoschGroup) and it returns every open role with rich classification — department, team, city, country, region, industry, experience level — plus the full description.

Use it when you need: every open role at a target company, hiring-intent signals (which functions a company is growing), a recruiter sourcing list across many companies, or a clean read of a competitor's headcount plans — from SmartRecruiters' public Posting API, no key.

Use something else when: the company doesn't run on SmartRecruiters. Point the matching actor at its ATS instead — every actor in the foXLabs hiring series emits the same schema, so their outputs concatenate into one hiring-intent table: Greenhouse · Lever · Ashby · Workday · Personio · Teamtailor.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Already on the Apify MCP server? Ask for this Actor by name: foxlabs/smartrecruiters-job-board-scraper.

Your agent can pay for its own runs. This Actor is pay-per-event with agentic payments, so an agent can discover it, run it and settle the bill over x402 (USDC on Base) or Skyfire — no Apify account or API token of its own. Billing is per delivered role, never for errors.

Otherwise paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-enabled assistant:

I want to pull a company's open roles using the Apify Actor `foxlabs/smartrecruiters-job-board-scraper`.
Input: `queries` is a list of a SmartRecruiters company identifier (case-sensitive, e.g. `BoschGroup`). `maxResultsPerQuery` caps rows per company (default 200).
Start with: {"queries":["BoschGroup"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50}
Ask me which companies to track, run the Actor, then summarise the roles as a table.

The machine-readable API, MCP config and OpenAPI definition live at apify.com/foxlabs/smartrecruiters-job-board-scraper.md.

📋 Overview

Everything you need to turn a SmartRecruiters careers board into clean, structured data — role details, metadata and hiring signals — in one actor, with no login, cookies or API key.

Why teams pick this actor:

• ✅ Whole board in one call — every open role, no per-tool stitching.
• ⚡ Slug- or URL-native — paste what you already have; the actor resolves the rest.
• 📄 Complete descriptions — full role text, HTML stripped to clean plain text.
• 🔗 Same schema across the series — join with the six sibling ATS actors on companyBoard.
• 💰 Pay only for results — per-row pricing, empty/failed lookups never billed.
• 🤖 Agent-ready — MCP + x402 agentic payments.
• 🌍 Richest classification in the series — city, country, region, industry and experience level on every role.
• 📄 Full descriptions — fetched per posting from the detail endpoint.

🎬 Quick Start

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/foxlabs~smartrecruiters-job-board-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["BoschGroup"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50}'

🚀 Getting Started (3 steps)

1. Choose your companies — a SmartRecruiters company identifier (case-sensitive, e.g. BoschGroup).
2. Set the cap — maxResultsPerQuery limits rows per company (default 200).
3. Run and export — a clean dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

📥 Input

{
  "queries": [
    "BoschGroup",
    "westerndigital"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 200,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "includeRaw": false
}

Field	Type	Description
queries	array	a SmartRecruiters company identifier (case-sensitive, e.g. BoschGroup).
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	Caps rows per company (default 200).
maxConcurrency	integer	How many companies to fetch at once.
includeRaw	boolean	Attach the source's untouched record under raw.
requestDelayMs	integer	Politeness delay between requests.
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional.

📤 Output

One row per open role, saved to the dataset.

Field	Type	Description

Every row also carries query, scrapedAt, and — when a lookup fails — an error.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an account, login or API key? No. This reads SmartRecruiters' public Posting API — no key.

What do I search by? A SmartRecruiters company identifier (case-sensitive, e.g. BoschGroup).

How current is the data? Every run queries the source live, so results are as fresh as the board itself.

Can I export to CSV / Excel / JSON? Yes — directly from the Apify dataset.

What happens on a bad input or empty board? You get a row with your query and an error — nothing is silently dropped, and you're not charged.

Is scraping this legal? It reads a public job feed the company publishes for syndication — job data, not personal data. See below.

🐛 Troubleshooting

• "… has no public careers site" — the identifier is case-sensitive — copy it exactly from the careers URL.
• Slower than expected — descriptions are fetched per posting; lower maxResultsPerQuery for a quick scan.
• An error row — the identifier is wrong or the site is private.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape this data?

This actor reads only publicly published job-posting data — no private or personal user data. Your results can still contain personal data (e.g. a name in a description); personal data is protected by the GDPR and similar laws, so only process it with a legitimate basis. See Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.

Changelog

0.4.1 — 2026-09-06

• Added job coordinates. New latitude / longitude from the posting location (~78% of roles), enabling map- and radius-based territory work alongside the existing city / region / country.

0.4 — 2026-09-06

• Enabled AI-agent payments (x402). Standby mode was removed because Apify's x402 agentic-payment eligibility requires it off; the actor now runs as a standard pay-per-event run that agents can discover, run and pay for over x402 (USDC on Base) or Skyfire without an Apify account. Batch and MCP usage are unchanged.

0.3 — 2026-09-05

• Output schema linked in actor.json (output field) so the Store shows the Output tab.
• Standby mode (real-time API). The actor now also runs as an always-on HTTP API: GET /search?query=<query>&maxResults=N returns open roles as JSON, billed per role (pay-per-event). Batch runs are unchanged. Endpoint and OpenAPI schema appear in the Standby tab.

0.2 — 2026-09-05

• Full job descriptions added. The list endpoint omits the description; the actor now fetches each posting's detail (job description + qualifications, HTML stripped). One extra request per posting, bounded by maxResultsPerQuery.
• Dead columns removed. seniority and salary (never provided; experienceLevel already carries seniority) and the redundant updatedAt (duplicated postedAt) are dropped. Rich fields kept: team, city, countryName, region, industry, experienceLevel, employmentType.

0.1

• Initial release: postings listing from any SmartRecruiters careers site (title, team, location, classification, dates).
