CWjobs Scraper

🔎 Scrape CWjobs UK tech jobs

CWjobs Scraper collects public job listings from CWjobs and saves them as structured data you can export, schedule, or send through the Apify API. Use it to turn CWjobs searches, listing URLs, direct job URLs, and supported public company pages into clean job rows with titles, employers, locations, salaries, posting dates, descriptions, source links, and scrape metadata.

Start with a simple search such as javascript in London, keep the default result limit for a small first run, and review the dataset before scaling up. If you already have CWjobs URLs, paste listing pages or direct job pages instead of using keyword search.

✅ What this CWjobs scraper does

• Searches CWjobs by keyword and optional UK location.
• Scrapes public CWjobs listing pages and direct job pages.
• Accepts CWjobs listing URLs, direct job URLs, and supported public company URLs.
• Normalizes matching Totaljobs job URLs back to CWjobs when the job belongs to the CWjobs source.
• Saves one dataset item per accepted job posting.
• Extracts job title, employer, location, salary, dates, description, workplace type, apply metadata, source position, and scrape time.
• Supports result limits, freshness filters, remote-only searches, and optional minimum salary search filters.
• Can try to resolve apply URLs when you enable the optional apply URL enrichment.
• Works with Apify exports, schedules, webhooks, integrations, and API clients.

This Actor focuses on public CWjobs job data. It does not log in, submit applications, contact employers, scrape candidate data, or collect private account pages.

🧭 Common use cases

• Build repeatable CWjobs exports for recruiting, market research, or job-board analysis.
• Monitor competitor hiring in software engineering, DevOps, data, cloud, security, and IT roles.
• Create structured job feeds for dashboards, alerts, CRMs, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.
• Compare posted salary ranges and workplace signals across CWjobs search results.
• Save direct CWjobs job pages into a consistent dataset for later review.

🚀 How to run it

For the easiest first run:

1. Keep Search keywords set to javascript.
2. Keep Location set to London, or replace it with another UK location.
3. Set Result limit to a small number such as 25.
4. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

You can also skip keyword search and paste URLs into Start URLs. Supported URL types include CWjobs search/listing pages, direct job pages, and supported public company pages. Direct job URLs normally produce one job item each.

🎛️ Input options

• Search keywords: one or more role, skill, or job terms to search on CWjobs.
• Location: optional UK location used with keyword searches.
• Start URLs: CWjobs listing pages, direct job pages, or supported public company URLs.
• Result limit: maximum number of jobs to save across the whole run.
• Posted within: optional freshness filter for keyword searches.
• Remote only: searches remote CWjobs roles when building URLs from keywords.
• Minimum salary: optional annual salary filter for keyword searches when CWjobs accepts it.
• Resolve apply URLs: best-effort apply link enrichment. Keep it disabled for the fastest first run.

You do not need CWjobs cookies, a CWjobs account, or a separate API key.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each CWjobs job saved to the dataset. Runs that find no matching jobs do not create paid job items.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• CWjobs can omit fields such as salary, employment type, or apply URL on some postings.
• applyUrl is best-effort and may stay empty even when the job can be applied to on CWjobs.
• Company pages are supported only when their public job listings can be resolved without login.
• The Actor is built for public CWjobs data, not private recruiter dashboards or application workflows.
• Recoverable source issues are handled as skipped pages or empty results instead of placeholder dataset items.

❓ FAQ

🔐 Can I scrape CWjobs without a login?

Yes. This Actor works with public CWjobs job pages and does not ask for CWjobs cookies, passwords, or API keys.

🔗 Can I use direct job URLs?

Yes. Add direct CWjobs job URLs to Start URLs. Each valid direct job URL normally saves one job item.

🔄 Does it support Totaljobs URLs?

Only for matching job URLs that can be normalized back to CWjobs. This Actor is not a broad Totaljobs or StepStone Group scraper.

💷 Why is a salary field empty?

Some CWjobs postings do not show salary details. When salary text is visible, the Actor saves the raw text and tries to normalize numeric min and max values.
