💰 Pricing

Pricing is pay per result and is billed per posting saved to your dataset, plus a very small charge when a run starts. Empty runs cost nothing beyond that start charge, and a spend limit you set on the run is always respected.

There are no monthly subscriptions and no maintenance fees. Larger volume plans on Apify lower the per-posting price further.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Handshake account, cookies or an API key?

No. The Actor reads only public Handshake pages. There is no login, key or cookie, and no proxy setup is needed.

How many postings can I get per run?

Each public listing page shows up to 200 postings. Add several roles, cities or keywords to cover more ground, or turn on the newest-postings scan to dig further into the public job index. Only postings Handshake shows publicly can be collected.

Why is a deadline missing on some postings?

Handshake gives every posting a default one-year expiry, which is not a real deadline. The Actor only fills applicationDeadline when the employer set one, so you can trust the date when it is there.

How do I get only new postings every day?

Turn on Only new jobs, keep the same search, and schedule the Actor. The first run returns everything that matches. Every later run returns only postings it has not delivered before for that search.
