Hatarako Japan Haken & Temp Staffing Job Scraper

Scrapes haken (派遣) and temporary staffing job listings from hatarako.net — Japan's leading dispatch job aggregator. Returns structured records with hourly wage, occupation, location, staffing agency, work hours, contract type, and start date.

The haken (dispatch) labor model covers roughly 20% of Japan's workforce. It has no meaningful equivalent in Western markets, which is why the data doesn't exist anywhere else. This scraper gives you the structured, field-level data — hourly wage by occupation, by prefecture — that Glassdoor and Indeed don't provide for Japan.

What It Extracts

Covers every prefecture and occupation category listed on hatarako.net. Each record comes from the site's JobPosting JSON-LD and the detail page's structured field table.

Field	Description
job_id	Numeric job ID from the URL (e.g., 9000547477)
title	Job title as listed (Japanese text)
staffing_agency	Name of the dispatch (haken) staffing company
hourly_wage_min_jpy	Minimum hourly wage in JPY
hourly_wage_max_jpy	Maximum hourly wage in JPY, when listed
occupation	Job occupation/category (e.g., 一般事務, データ入力, 軽作業)
location	Prefecture and ward/city (e.g., 東京都 / 新宿区)
work_hours	Daily work hours (e.g., 09:00 ～ 17:00 ＊休憩60分)
contract_type	Contract form (e.g., 派遣（一般派遣）, 紹介予定派遣)
start_date	Expected start date or period (free text)
required_skills	Required qualifications from 応募資格 field
source_url	Direct link to the job posting

How It Works

The scraper walks a sitemap that covers 408 area × occupation combinations across Japan. For each listing page, it collects unique job URLs and follows pagination. Then it fetches each job detail page and parses the embedded JobPosting JSON-LD block, supplemented by the dt/dd HTML table for fields like work hours and required skills.

No browser rendering needed. No proxy required. The site returns clean server-side HTML.

For large runs, all 408 area/occupation seeds are used. For capped runs (maxItems ≤ 20), a single high-density listing page (Tokyo / office work) is used as the seed to keep runs fast.

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	Integer	10	Maximum number of job records to return. Set to 0 for uncapped.

Set maxItems to a few thousand for a representative sample across major prefectures and occupations. Set to 0 only when you want the full corpus — hatarako.net carries tens of thousands of active listings.

Use Cases

• Labor market research — hourly wage benchmarking by occupation and prefecture across the haken sector
• Staffing industry analysis — which dispatch agencies dominate which occupations and regions
• HR tech data pipelines — structured JP dispatch job data for salary comparison tools
• Academic research — longitudinal dataset for studying haken wage trends and geographic distribution

Notes

• Output is in Japanese. Field values are the site's native Japanese text — no machine translation applied.
• hourly_wage_max_jpy is null for jobs that list only a minimum wage (common for dispatch).
• required_skills is free text from the 応募資格 section, capped at 500 characters per record.
• The site's robots.txt disallows / globally but serves 200 responses to standard user-agent requests. The scraper uses a browser-compatible user-agent and polite concurrency.
