• 🛠️ Capabilities — skills, work sectors, languages and assets (Bike, Aadhaar, etc.).
• 🎯 Relevance & status — WorkIndia match score (0–100), hot-lead status (new/old), urgent-looking, mobile-verified and resume flags.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get candidate phone numbers? Only for unlocked candidates. mobileNo is null unless the profile is unlocked via an authenticated employer session — this Actor scrapes the public WorkIndia search, so most numbers are locked.

Is this a WorkIndia API alternative? Yes. WorkIndia has no public candidate API, so this Actor works as a WorkIndia API alternative — it queries the public candidate search directly and returns structured records you control.

Can I scrape WorkIndia candidates without login? Yes. The Actor scrapes the public WorkIndia search without a login or employer account. Note that locked phone numbers stay null — unlocking contacts still requires an authenticated WorkIndia employer plan.

How do I search WorkIndia candidates by job title and city? Put WorkIndia's exact title strings in jobTitles and lowercase slugs like mumbai or delhi in cities — the scraper runs each title-by-city combination and returns matching candidates.

How do I find the most recently active job seekers? Enable sortActive to order candidates by most recent activity, or sortNew for newest join date — helpful for prioritizing fresh, responsive leads.

What is matchScore and hotLeadStatus? matchScore is WorkIndia's internal relevance score (0–100). hotLeadStatus is new_lead (joined recently) or old_lead (existing profile).

How does the Actor work? It calls WorkIndia's candidate-search API directly (no headless browser), paginating by offset. Pure API calls keep it fast and cheap.

How do I export WorkIndia candidate data to CSV or JSON? Run a search by job title and city, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, HTML or JSONLines from the run page or the Apify API.
