What is hiring.cafe?

Hiring.cafe is a job aggregation platform that indexes millions of job listings from thousands of companies. It pulls from major job boards like Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Workday, BambooHR, and company career pages — giving you a single source to search across all of them.

What does this Actor do?

This Actor searches hiring.cafe using its internal API and returns clean, structured job data. It handles Cloudflare protection automatically using an anti-detect browser, so you get reliable results every time.

How it works:

1. Launches a stealth browser to establish a session with hiring.cafe
2. Bypasses Cloudflare Turnstile challenge automatically
3. Queries the hiring.cafe search API with your filters
4. Returns structured JSON data for each job listing

Proxy configuration

This Actor requires a real browser to bypass Cloudflare protection. Residential proxies are required for reliable results on Apify cloud.

In the proxy settings, enable:

• Use Apify Proxy: Yes
• Proxy groups: RESIDENTIAL

Without residential proxies, Cloudflare will block the requests.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing:

Component	Cost
Start fee	$0.01 per run
Per result	$0.003 per job listing

Examples:

• 100 jobs = $0.31
• 500 jobs = $1.51
• 1,000 jobs = $3.01
• 5,000 jobs = $15.01

Set a max charge limit on your run and the Actor will automatically stop before exceeding it.

Limitations

• Location presets — Currently supports 5 country-level locations (US, UK, Canada, Germany, India). City-level filtering is not yet supported.
• Cloudflare dependency — The Actor needs to pass Cloudflare's challenge on each run, which adds ~10–20 seconds of startup time.
• Data freshness — Results come directly from hiring.cafe's index. Some listings may be stale if the original job board hasn't been re-crawled recently.
• Residential proxies required — Datacenter proxies will be blocked by Cloudflare. Residential proxy usage incurs additional Apify platform costs.

Changelog

• 1.0 — Initial release with keyword search, location/workplace/seniority/commitment/industry filters, engagement metrics, and Cloudflare bypass via Camoufox.
