jobs.ch jobs

Swiss job adverts from jobs.ch, with the exact posting time, the workload percentage and the place of work as the site wrote it.

Every page of a jobs.ch search holds the same adverts twice. There are the cards you see, and there is a machine readable copy underneath. Neither one is complete, and most scrapers read only one of them.

The cards have the place of work and the workload. The machine readable copy leaves the place empty on 7 adverts out of 21, including every advert that is open in more than one town.

The machine readable copy has the exact posting time. The card only says "2 weeks ago".

So this Actor reads both and keeps what is true in each.

There is one more thing about that copy. Its job description is not the advert. It is built from the title, so every advert gets a sentence like "We are looking for a Equipment Engineer to join our team." That text is never published here. For the real advert text, use jobsch-job-details.

The place of work

This is the field that looks easy and is not, so read this before you use it.

jobs.ch writes the workplace as one line with commas in it. The same shape means different things:

• "Bern, Fribourg, Neuchatel" is one advert open in three places
• "Baden, Aargau, Switzerland" is one place, written town, canton, country
• "Zurich, Zurich, Schweiz" is the same thing again in German
• "Porto, Portugal" is one place in another country
• "Neuwiesenstrasse 15, 8400 Winterthur" is a street address

All five were on live rows on 13 September 2026. The site publishes nothing that tells them apart, and the canton names Bern, Fribourg and Neuchatel are town names too, so no list of place names can settle it either.

If you split that field on the comma you get a town called "Schweiz" and another called "Neuwiesenstrasse 15".

So this Actor gives you placeOfWorkLabel exactly as the site wrote it, and placeOfWorkParts named as parts of a label, not as a list of workplaces. You decide.

How big a search really is

jobs.ch tells the truth about the size of a search. A full walk of "engineer" served 1,517 card links holding 1,459 different adverts, and the site said 1,459. So the total counts each advert once, and the same advert does appear on two pages.

That means a walk has to drop repeats or it over reports by about 4 percent. This one does, and tells you how many it dropped.

What the site will not do is serve past page 100. A search for region 2 says 36,824 adverts and will hand over about 2,100 of them. Ask for more than one search can serve and this Actor cuts the search into the site's own 15 regions and walks those.

Filters

Seven filters work: search term, place, region id, occupational field id, industry id, contract type id, days since publication, and employer size band.

Some do not work, and this matters. jobs.ch does not refuse a filter it does not understand. It ignores it and returns the whole board. A run that looks filtered gives you 44,000 adverts.

The site's own sitemap files advertise employment-type-ids and employment-position-ids. Neither one does anything. Nor does workload, language, sort or company-id. All of them were tested against a known search on 13 September 2026 and all behaved exactly like a made up parameter.

Every run lists the filters that were applied and the ones the source ignores, so you never have to guess.

Region, occupational field, industry and contract type take numbers, not names. Give a name and the run stops before it is billed, instead of quietly searching everything.

Cost

Both events cost 0.00001 USD. You are charged after rows are written, so a search that matches nothing costs nothing. A repeated advert is dropped before the budget is counted, so you never pay twice for it.

One request returns 19 to 22 adverts. A search of 204 adverts took 150 rows in 8 requests and 4 seconds.
