Handshake Jobs Scraper

🔎 Find and export public Handshake jobs

Recruiters, labor-market researchers, and job-data teams can use Handshake Jobs Scraper to collect anonymous public Handshake listings without a Handshake login or API key. Get job identity, employer, classifications, locations, compensation, dates, and full descriptions in structured rows for analysis and recurring workflows.

• Export Handshake Job Listings found by keyword, location, search URL, or direct job URL.
• Use Handshake Internship Search to find internships and co-ops with keywords and employment-type filters.
• Collect Remote Handshake Jobs listed as remote.
• Analyze Handshake Salary Data with published pay, currency, pay periods, and clear yearly values.
• Use Handshake Employer Hiring Research to focus on selected employer names.
• Compare roles, locations, workplace types, and posting dates with Handshake Job Market Analysis.
• Use Handshake Jobs API to run searches and read the dataset through the Apify API.

📦 Handshake job data you can export

Each dataset row represents one unique successful public Handshake job. Missing source values remain null or empty arrays rather than being invented.

🚀 How to collect Handshake jobs

1. Add keywords or locations, or submit a public Handshake search or job URL in startUrls.
2. Optionally add locations and job filters.
3. Choose maxDiscoveryItems to bound search-discovered output.
4. Run the Actor and open the default dataset.

You can combine keyword discovery, public search URLs, and direct job URLs in one run. Duplicate canonical jobs are returned once across all submitted sources.

startUrls[].url	string	A public search or job URL.
employers	array of strings	Includes jobs whose employer name matches one of the supplied values. Leave empty for any employer.
countries	array of strings	Includes jobs with a matching published country, such as United States. Leave empty for any country.

compensationFilter.cadence	string	Pay period: hour, month, or year.
maxDiscoveryItems	integer	Stops after this many matching jobs from keywords, locations, and search URLs. The minimum is 1, with no fixed maximum. Leave empty to return all available matching jobs until the source is exhausted. Duplicates, filtered listings, and unreadable jobs do not count. Direct job URLs are bounded by the submitted list.
onlyNewJobs	boolean	Returns only jobs not seen in earlier runs of this Actor. Each job must still be readable and valid. On the first run, all matching jobs are new. Defaults to false.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing with account-tier rates. You are charged for each unique successful Handshake job listing saved to the default dataset. Duplicates, filtered candidates, unavailable jobs, malformed jobs, and runs with no saved jobs do not create this job charge.

Use maxDiscoveryItems to bound search-discovered output and cost. Submitted direct job URLs are separate from that discovery limit and remain bounded by the number of URLs you provide.

🔌 Integrations

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML. You can also run the Actor through the Apify API, schedule recurring snapshots, trigger webhooks, and connect results to supported Apify integrations.

❓ FAQ

Can I submit a Handshake search URL or a single job URL?

Yes. startUrls accepts public Handshake search-result URLs and individual public job URLs. You can combine them with keyword discovery in the same run.

Why did a filter exclude a job with no published value?

Date, country, workplace, employment-type, and compensation filters require comparable public source data. A listing without the value needed for a selected filter is excluded rather than guessed.

Are duplicate jobs returned or charged twice?

No. The Actor uses canonical Handshake job identity to deduplicate the same job across all sources in a run. Only a unique successful listing saved to the default dataset creates the job charge.

Does maxDiscoveryItems limit direct job URLs?

No. It limits jobs returned from keywords, locations, and public search URLs. Direct job URLs are bounded by the submitted URL list itself.

Can this Actor alert me when a job changes or expires?

Use onlyNewJobs to collect jobs not seen in earlier runs. The Actor does not generate change or expiry alerts itself. Schedule runs and compare job IDs and fields in your own datastore or workflow to track those changes.

Do I need a Handshake account, institution access, or API key?

No. The Actor collects only anonymous public Handshake listings. It does not access institution-personalized results, saved jobs, applications, applicant data, or private account pages.
