Dayforce Jobs Scraper

Extract open job postings from public employer career sites hosted on Dayforce (addresses that look like https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/<locale>/<clientNamespace>/<careerSiteCode>). Give it one or more career site URLs and it returns one clean record per posting: title, locations, posted date, department, pay type, the full description as plain text and HTML, plus the public job and apply links.

This is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Dayforce or Ceridian. It only reads pages and data that any visitor can open in a browser without logging in.

What data does it return?

Each dataset item is one job posting with these fields:

• jobId, jobRequisitionId: the posting ID and the requisition ID shown by the career site
• title, companyName: job title and the employer name as labelled on the career site (falls back to the client namespace from the URL)
• clientNamespace, careerSiteCode, careerSiteUrl: where the posting came from
• locations: array of {city, state, country, postalCode, formattedAddress} (postalCode is null because the career site does not publish it as a separate field)
• isRemote, workplaceType: true / "remote" when the posting has a virtual location
• postedDate, expiryDate: ISO 8601 timestamps (expiry is null when not set)
• employmentType, payType, department, category: taken from the posting attributes the employer publishes (for example PayType, JobFamily, JobFunction, EmploymentIndicator); null when absent
• attributes: every posting attribute as a name-to-value object
• salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod: always null today, because these career sites do not expose structured salary fields. Pay that an employer writes into the description text stays in the description.
• descriptionText: description with HTML stripped; descriptionHtml: the description as published (only when "Include description HTML" is on)
• jobUrl, applyUrl, scrapedAt

The Actor does not output recruiter or hiring-manager names, emails or phone numbers as fields. Descriptions are kept exactly as the employer published them.

How to run it

1. Open the Actor and leave the prefilled input as it is: it points at one public Dayforce career site and asks for up to 20 jobs.
2. Click Start. No account, cookies or credentials for the target site are needed.
3. When the run finishes, open the Output tab to see the table, or download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. To scrape your own targets, replace the URL in "Career site URLs" with the address of any public Dayforce career site (open the employer's careers page and copy the address from your browser). You can add several URLs; limits apply per site.
5. Optional: enter a keyword to use the career site's own search, raise "Maximum jobs per career site", or turn off the HTML description to get smaller records.

In a local test run with the prefilled input, 20 jobs were returned in 28 seconds.

How much does it cost to scrape Dayforce career sites?

Pricing is pay per event: 0.0015 USD per job posting returned (one result event per dataset item). There is no separate start fee in this Actor's pricing. Example: 1,000 job postings = 1.50 USD; 20 postings (the prefill) = 0.03 USD. You can cap spending with the maximum total charge setting of your run; the Actor stops when that limit is reached. Platform usage (compute) is billed according to your Apify plan.

Limitations and the free plan

• Only public career sites on jobs.dayforcehcm.com are supported. Employer sites on other domains, login-protected pages and internal (employee-only) postings are not read.
• Requests are sent politely: at most 2 in flight and at least one second between requests, with retries and growing waits on rate-limit or server errors, giving up after 3 retries per request. The Actor does not use proxies, and it stops working on a site if the site refuses access.
• A URL whose career site does not exist or has no jobs returns no items (a warning is logged). Postings are returned as the site currently lists them; the Actor does not keep history.
• Salary fields are null (see above). The "department" and "category" values are whatever codes the employer used, for example JF_Production.
• Data comes from an unofficial interface used by the career site pages, which the site owner can change at any time. If that happens runs may return fewer or no items until the Actor is updated.
• Free plan: a run with the prefilled input (20 jobs) fits comfortably; how many jobs your plan's credit covers depends on your Apify plan, at 0.0015 USD per job plus platform usage.

FAQ

Do I need a Dayforce account? No. Only public career sites are read, without logging in.

Can I scrape several employers in one run? Yes. Add several career site URLs; "Maximum jobs per career site" applies to each of them.

How do I find the right URL? Open the employer's careers page; if it is a Dayforce site, the address has the form shown above. Copy it into "Career site URLs".

Why is a field empty? Employers decide what they publish. Fields the career site does not provide are null.

Something is wrong or a career site stopped working. Please report it in the Issues tab of this Actor on Apify, including the career site URL you used.
