Cornerstone Career Site Jobs Scraper

Extract public job postings from career sites that run on Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD), for example https://henkel.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/1/home?c=henkel. Paste one or more career-site URLs and get one clean dataset row per job, with the full description. This is an unofficial tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Cornerstone OnDemand or by any employer whose jobs it reads.

The actor uses plain HTTP requests, with no browser, no login and no proxy. It loads the career-site page once, the same way a visitor's browser does, to get the short-lived anonymous access token that the page itself uses, and then reads the same public job-search endpoint that the career site's front end calls. It reads the tenant's robots.txt at the start of every run, waits the Crawl-delay the tenant publishes, and fetches one request at a time.

What data does it return?

For each job:

• tenant, careerSiteId, requisitionId: which career site the job is on and its requisition id
• title
• locations: an array of {city, state, country} objects (country is a two-letter code, missing parts are null) and location, the same locations joined into one string
• postedDate and expirationDate: ISO 8601 dates (YYYY-MM-DD); expirationDate is null when the job has no end date
• descriptionText: the job description as plain text. E-mail addresses inside descriptions are replaced with [email removed].
• descriptionHtml: only filled when the employer's ad contains HTML markup, otherwise null
• jobUrl: the public page of the job; careerSiteUrl; scrapedAt (UTC timestamp)

The job-search endpoint of these career sites publishes only these job fields. It does not provide department, employment type or salary, so the actor does not invent them. Only a fixed list of fields is copied from the response; recruiter, hiring-manager and other contact-person data are never copied.

How to run it

1. Open the actor and keep the prefilled input, or replace the URL with the career site of another employer. The URL looks like https://<tenant>.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/<siteId>/home?c=<tenant>; the tenant and the career site id are read from it. If you paste only https://<tenant>.csod.com/, career site 1 is used.
2. Optionally enter search keywords, the same as typing them into the search box of the career site.
3. Set "Maximum jobs". It is a total for the whole run, across all URLs. The prefill is 20, with Henkel first, then IATA and Instem as further URLs that are only read if the earlier career sites return fewer than 20 jobs in total.
4. Click Start. When the run ends, open the Output tab to view, filter or export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

A URL whose tenant does not exist, whose career site id is wrong or that is not a csod.com address is skipped with an error line in the log, and the remaining URLs are still processed. If every URL is skipped, the run ends as failed with a message that says so.

How much does it cost to scrape Cornerstone career sites?

Pricing is pay per event: 0.0015 USD per job in the dataset (one result event per row). Example: 1,000 jobs cost 1.50 USD, 100 jobs cost 0.15 USD. Platform usage is not billed separately to you under pay-per-event pricing. Set a maximum total charge in the run options to cap spending; the actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached and reports how many jobs it stored.

Limitations and the free plan

• Only public career sites on <tenant>.csod.com are supported. Employers that put a custom domain in front of their Cornerstone site are not supported unless the csod.com address still works.
• The job-search endpoint is an internal interface of the career-site front end, not a documented API. If Cornerstone changes it, the actor will need an update.
• The tenant host publishes a Crawl-delay of 10 seconds, so every run spends about 10 seconds before the first job, and a run that stored jobs waits 10 more seconds before it exits (so the dataset counters settle); the prefilled run takes about 26 seconds. In local tests, 20 jobs took 14 seconds, 250 jobs from one tenant took 17 seconds and a three-tenant run with 38 jobs took 37 seconds.
• Job counts and content change from day to day, and some tenants have no open jobs at a given moment (one of the tenants tested had zero). A run on such a tenant finishes with 0 jobs and no charge; the log and the run's status message then carry a warning. If an unfiltered search returns no jobs, the actor loads the career site again with a new anonymous session up to two times before it reports the warning.
• Descriptions are returned as the employer wrote them; a few test postings contain only placeholder text.
• On the free plan you can run the prefilled input and similar small runs within the monthly free credit. Larger scrapes are billed at the per-job price above.

FAQ

Is this the official Cornerstone API? No. It reads public job listings the same way the career site's own page does, without any login.

Can I get candidate or recruiter data? No. The actor only returns published job ad fields and never reads application or candidate data.

A URL was skipped. Why? Check the run log: the message names the reason, for example an unknown tenant, a career site id that does not exist or a robots.txt that disallows the path.

Where do I report a problem? Use the Issues tab of this actor on Apify and include the career-site URL and the run ID.
