Workday Jobs Scraper — Public Career Boards

What is Workday Jobs Scraper — Public Career Boards?

Workday Jobs Scraper turns public myworkdayjobs.com career-site URLs into a dataset with one row per open job. Each row returns the job requisition ID, title, employer tenant, location, time type, posting text and date, the full job description, the public job URL and the endpoint it came from. Recruiters, sourcing teams, labor-market analysts, sales teams tracking hiring signals and AI agents use it to monitor openings at employers that run their careers pages on Workday.

Why recruiters use this Workday scraper

• Many employers, one input shape. Paste several Workday boards in careerSiteUrls and get one combined dataset.
• Keyword search per board. searchText narrows every board to roles such as analyst or data engineer.
• Full descriptions. includeJobDetails reads each job's public detail record for the complete description.
• Stable requisition IDs. jobId values such as REQ_108423 make daily new-job detection simple.
• Per-board cap. maxResultsPerSite controls both rows and cost for each employer.

Best fit for this Actor

• Designed for employers whose careers page lives on a public myworkdayjobs.com board.
• Use it for competitor hiring watches, account-based sales signals and recruiter job alerts.
• For employers that use Greenhouse, continue with Greenhouse Jobs Scraper and merge the datasets on title and location.
• When your target list spans several applicant tracking systems, use Combined ATS Jobs API instead.

Example workflow: from a target account list to hiring signals

A B2B sales team starts with ten target accounts that hire through Workday. They paste each careers URL into careerSiteUrls, set searchText to finance and maxResultsPerSite to 25. The dataset returns title, location, postedText, postedAt and description per job. They flag accounts posting new finance leadership roles, feed those accounts into their CRM as buying signals, and schedule the run each morning so new requisition IDs trigger an alert.

Workday boards are configured per employer. Every row has the requisition ID, title, location, time type, posting label, description and job URL; the job URL is also where candidates apply. Fields such as remote type, job family and a separate apply link fill in for boards that publish them. Each run also writes OUTPUT and RUN_SUMMARY records with the outcome, such as COMPLETE or VALID_EMPTY, and per-board counts.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. You pay one Workday job record scraped event per validated job saved to the dataset and one small Actor Start event per run, and Apify platform usage, including residential proxy, is billed on top. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current event prices.

Worked example: ten boards with maxResultsPerSite set to 25 save up to two hundred fifty job rows, so the run costs up to that many job events, one start event and its platform usage.

API example

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~workday-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"careerSiteUrls": ["https://baincapital.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Public"], "searchText": "engineer", "maxResultsPerSite": 10}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("khadinakbar/workday-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "careerSiteUrls": ["https://baincapital.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Public"],
    "searchText": "",
    "maxResultsPerSite": 50,
})
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["jobId"], job["title"], job["location"], job["postedText"])

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Actor to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify MCP, then ask:

List the open analyst roles on the Bain Capital Workday board with title, location and posting date, and tell me which were posted this week.

The agent calls the Actor with careerSiteUrls and searchText, reads rows with get-dataset-items, and uses postedText and postedAt for recency. jobUrl and scrapedAt give provenance per job, and maxResultsPerSite keeps cost bounded.

Best results

Starting situation	Helpful action	Expected outcome
An employer's careers page	Open it and copy the myworkdayjobs.com board URL	A board the Actor can read

One function only	Set searchText, for example finance	Matching roles per board
Daily alerts	Schedule the run and compare jobId values	New openings each day
Fast inventory counts	Set includeJobDetails to false	Lighter rows without full descriptions
A new board	Start with maxResultsPerSite around 10	A quick look at the fields that board publishes

Builder's note

I built this on the public JSON endpoints that Workday career boards themselves use, which keeps rows consistent across employers instead of depending on each company's page design. I designed the input around board URLs because that is what recruiters and sales teams already have in their account lists. I learned that Workday boards publish different optional fields per employer, so the core job fields stay constant and the extra attributes fill in where each board provides them.

FAQ

How do I find a company's Workday board?

Open the company's careers page and follow a job link; the board URL contains myworkdayjobs.com, for example https://baincapital.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Public.

Can I scrape several companies in one run?

Yes. Add each board URL to careerSiteUrls; maxResultsPerSite applies to each board.

Where do candidates apply?

At the jobUrl, which is the public Workday job page with its apply button.
