## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 job listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Lever Jobs Scraper: every open job from any company on Lever

Give it a list of companies that hire with Lever (Spotify, Palantir, Zoox and thousands more) and get back every open job as clean rows: title, department, team, locations, workplace type, remote flag, employment type, salary range, posting date, apply link and the description as plain text. It reads the official Lever Postings API, finds EU-hosted boards on its own, and needs no browser or proxy. Hundreds of jobs take a few seconds.

**USD 1.50 per 1,000 jobs.** Companies that cannot be found are reported free.

### What people use it for

- **Sales signals from hiring.** A company opening five data engineering roles is about to buy data tools. Pull the open jobs of your target accounts every week, filter by team or keyword, and send new roles to your CRM, Clay or Slack.
- **Job boards and newsletters.** Fill a niche job board (remote, AI, fintech, climate) or a weekly jobs newsletter straight from the source, with salary ranges where the company publishes them and a direct apply link.
- **Recruiting market research.** Compare hiring across competitors by department, team, location, workplace type and pay. Track how a company's open headcount changes over time.
- **Job alerts.** Schedule it with **Only new jobs** turned on and receive only postings that appeared since the last run, for example "remote engineering jobs at these 50 companies".

Real runs: Palantir returned 321 jobs, Zoox 242 (229 with a salary range), SEB 140 from its EU board, Spotify 82.

### How to use it

1. Add companies to **Companies**, one per line. Any of these work:
   - a company name: `spotify`
   - a board URL: `https://jobs.lever.co/spotify`, `https://jobs.eu.lever.co/seb`
   - a job or apply URL: `https://jobs.lever.co/palantir/6ed76ce8-4156-4b60-b120-403538bd66cd/apply`
2. Optionally narrow the results:
   - **Title keywords**: `engineer`, `AI`, `/product (manager|owner)/`
   - **Locations**: `London`, `New York`, `Remote`, or a country like `Sweden`
   - **Remote jobs only**
   - **Departments**: `Engineering`, `Sales` (matches department or team)
   - **Posted within (days)**: `7`
   - **Max jobs per company**: newest first
3. Click **Start**, then export as CSV, JSON or Excel, or read the dataset through the Apify API.

**Finding the company name.** Open the company's careers page and click a job. If the address starts with `jobs.lever.co/<name>` or `jobs.eu.lever.co/<name>`, that is the name.

#### Job alerts on a schedule

1. Turn on **Only new jobs** and set your filters.
2. Save the input as a task and add a schedule (daily or weekly).
3. Connect the results to email, Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook in the task's **Integrations** tab.

The first run returns all matching jobs. Every later run returns only jobs that were not delivered before.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `companies` | Company names or careers page URLs. Required. |
| `keywords` | Keep jobs whose title matches any keyword. Words match at their start (`engineer` finds "Engineering"); keywords of 3 letters or fewer must be a whole word (`AI` does not match "Chair"). `/regex/` is supported. |
| `locations` | Keep jobs whose location or country contains any of these texts. |
| `remoteOnly` | Keep only jobs that can be done remotely. |
| `departments` | Keep jobs whose department or team contains any of these texts. |
| `postedWithinDays` | Keep jobs created in the last N days. `0` = any date. |
| `maxJobsPerCompany` | Newest jobs first, at most this many per company. `0` = no limit. |
| `onlyNewJobs` | Output only jobs not delivered by an earlier run (see FAQ). |
| `includeDescription` | Add the description, its lists (responsibilities, requirements) and closing text as plain text, up to 5,000 characters. Default on. |
| `maxConcurrency` | Companies fetched in parallel. Default 5. |

### Output fields

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| `company` | The Lever company name. `companyName` is null: the Lever API does not return a display name. |
| `jobId`, `title` | Lever posting ID and title. |
| `department`, `team` | As the company categorizes the job. |
| `location`, `locations` | The main location, and all locations when the job lists several. |
| `workplaceType`, `isRemote` | `remote`, `hybrid`, `onsite` or null (Lever's own field). `isRemote` is also true when a location or the title says remote. |
| `employmentType` | `full_time`, `part_time`, `contract`, `temporary`, `internship` or null, mapped from Lever's commitment field ("Permanent", "Fixed-Term", "Intern" and so on). |
| `compensation` | `min`, `max`, `currency`, `interval`, `summary`, when the company publishes a salary range. |
| `postedAt` | When the posting was created, ISO 8601 in UTC. `updatedAt` is null (not in the API). |
| `jobUrl`, `applyUrl` | The Lever job page and application form. |
| `descriptionText` | Plain text, HTML removed, capped at 5,000 characters. |
| `error` | Only on rows for companies that could not be read. These rows are free. |

A `SUMMARY` record in the run's key-value store lists every company with its number of open jobs, matches, new jobs and errors.

### Pricing

| What | Price |
|---|---|
| Job listing in the results | USD 0.0015 (USD 1.50 per 1,000) |
| Company not found, wrong URL, or unreadable board | Free |

Example: 20 companies with 150 open jobs each is 3,000 jobs, USD 4.50. With **Only new jobs** on a daily schedule you pay only for new postings, usually a few cents a day.

Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the actor stops cleanly when it gets there; everything saved so far stays in the dataset. **Max jobs per company** also caps the spend on very large boards.

### Limits

- **The actor identifies itself.** Every request carries the user agent `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; lever-jobs/1.0; +https://apify.com/JTPalms/lever-jobs)`, with plain request headers. It never pretends to be a browser. Some sites block bots; a blocked request is reported as an error, not hidden.
- Only jobs the company publishes on its Lever board. Internal or unlisted postings are not in the API.
- Salary ranges appear only when the company adds them to the posting.
- Some companies use Lever's commitment field for something else (for example a job family). Those values are not guessed, so `employmentType` stays null.
- A company whose board exists but has no open postings returns no rows and a note in `SUMMARY`. Companies that moved to another system return a not-found row. Use the Greenhouse Jobs Scraper or Ashby Jobs Scraper for companies on those platforms; they give the same output format.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?** Yes. The actor reads Lever's official Postings API (`api.lever.co` and `api.eu.lever.co`), the public, no-login feed Lever provides so companies can publish their open jobs on careers sites and syndicate them to job boards. It only sees published job postings. It collects no personal data, and it does not log in or submit anything. If you republish jobs, link to the `applyUrl` or `jobUrl` so candidates apply with the company.

**How does Only new jobs work?** The actor keeps, per company, the IDs of the jobs it has already delivered, in a key-value store named `lever-jobs-monitor` in your own Apify account. Each run outputs only matching jobs whose ID is not in that list, then adds them. Jobs left out only by **Max jobs per company** are marked as seen too, so they do not come back later. Jobs cut off by your cost limit stay new for the next run. Closed jobs are dropped from the list automatically. If you add a filter later, older jobs that now match and were never delivered are delivered once. To start over, delete the store in **Storage**.

**Does it work with EU boards?** Yes. Give the `jobs.eu.lever.co` URL, or just the name: when a company is not on the global host the actor checks the EU host automatically.

**Why is companyName empty?** The Lever Postings API has no company display name, only the board name in `company`.

**Something missing or wrong?** Open an issue with the company name and what you expected.

**Is this an official Lever product?** No. It is an independent tool that reads Lever's public postings API. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lever.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Lever company names (spotify) or careers page URLs (https://jobs.lever.co/spotify, https://jobs.eu.lever.co/seb). The company name is the part right after lever.co/ in the URL. EU boards are found automatically.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose title matches any of these. A keyword matches at the start of a word, so engineer also finds Engineering. Keywords of 3 letters or fewer (AI, QA, SRE) must be a whole word. Wrap in slashes for a regular expression, for example /product (manager|owner)/.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose location contains any of these texts, for example London, New York or Remote. The country name counts too.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs that can be done remotely (remote workplace type, or a location or title that says remote).

## `departments` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose department or team contains any of these texts, for example Engineering or Sales.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep jobs created in the last N days. 0 means any date.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Newest jobs first. 0 means no limit. Caps the cost on very large boards.

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

Remember which jobs were already delivered for each company (in the key-value store lever-jobs-monitor in your account) and output only jobs that are new since the last run. The first run outputs all matching jobs. Turn on for scheduled job alerts.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Add the job description as plain text (HTML removed, up to 5,000 characters).

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many company boards to fetch at the same time.
