Eluta.ca Jobs Scraper — Canadian Jobs, Salaries & Real Apply Links

Turn eluta.ca — Canada's national job search engine, indexing postings directly from ~10,000 employer career sites — into structured hiring data. Search any keyword × location combination (or paste any eluta URL) and get full job descriptions, structured CAD salaries, employer metadata with NAICS codes and HQ coordinates, and the employer's real ATS apply link — not an eluta redirect.

$1 per 1,000 jobs ($0.001/result — a third less than the $1.5 category leader), and the only Eluta actor with real employer-email discovery: opt-in enrichment that looks up the employer's actual contact addresses instead of regexing the description text and hoping an email was typed into it.

Why this actor

• Real apply URLs. Every job's outbound redirect is resolved to the employer's actual ATS posting (Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, Talcura…) — the link a candidate or recruiter actually needs.
• Full descriptions, not snippets. Complete description HTML + plain text from the job page (typically 1,500–6,000 chars), plus the SERP snippet.
• Salary-first. Structured CAD salary (salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryType) straight from eluta's own JSON-LD where the employer provides it, with a regex fallback over description text.
• Employer intelligence built in. Employer website + domain, logo, description, NAICS industry code, HQ street address with latitude/longitude, and the Canada's Top 100 Employers rating where awarded.
• $1 per 1,000 jobs. $0.005 per run + $0.001 per result — priced below the leading Eluta actor, with the same fields and more.
• Source transparency. Each row carries the employer career-site domain eluta indexed the posting from (sourceDomain) and the employer's ATS job ID (atsJobId).
• Monitoring mode. Run it on a schedule and only get postings you haven't seen before — no charge for skipped repeats.

How it works

1. Your keywords × locations become eluta searches (or your pasted URLs are auto-classified: SERP / SEO page / employer page / direct job).
2. SERP pages are walked via ?pg=N, ~10 jobs per page, streaming rows into a sliding-window worker pool — first results arrive within seconds.
3. Each job's detail page is fetched and parsed: eluta renders two page variants (microdata and JSON-LD) and both are handled, with the full description, ISO dates, employer metadata and structured salary.
4. The outbound apply redirect (/direct/i) is resolved to the employer's real ATS URL.
5. The merged row is pushed to the dataset — one row per job, JSON/CSV/Excel export.

What makes this different from other Eluta actors

• Apply links that actually apply. Other actors return the eluta.ca job URL as applyUrl. This one resolves the redirect to the employer's ATS posting (e.g. careersen-hrrh.icims.com/jobs/23804/...).
• Full description coverage. Both eluta page variants are parsed, so descriptions come back complete — including postings where SERP-only scrapers return empty text.
• Employer depth. NAICS code, HQ address with coordinates, employer website/domain/logo/description, and Top-100 employer ratings — fields for lead-gen and market analysis, not just job listings.
• Honest rate-limit handling. Eluta soft-blocks bursty IPs; this actor detects it and rotates through a residential pool automatically instead of silently returning truncated results.
• Real contact discovery, not description regex. Other actors "extract emails" by pattern-matching the posting text — which contains no email for the vast majority of jobs. Opt-in enrichEmails discovers the hiring employer's actual contact emails from their website and public sources, and bills only per email actually found.

Notes & limitations

• Salary coverage follows the source. Only a minority of Canadian employers publish pay on their postings (~20–30% in our tests). Where eluta has it, you get structured min/max; where it only appears in prose, the text parser picks it up best-effort.
• applyUrl falls back to the eluta job URL when the redirect can't be resolved (applyUrlResolved: false) — rare (≥85% resolve in testing).
• topEmployerRating only exists for employers recognised in Canada's Top 100 Employers project (eluta is run by its publisher, Mediacorp).
• Monitoring mode's first run returns everything matching — that seeds your baseline; subsequent runs return only new postings.
• Sponsored SERP slots are included and flagged via isSponsored.

FAQ

How fresh are the postings? Eluta indexes employer career sites continuously — with sortBy: date the top results are typically minutes to hours old, and each row carries postedAgo + an ISO postedDate.

Can I scrape a specific employer's jobs? Yes — paste their eluta employer page (e.g. https://www.eluta.ca/jobs-at-sunnybrook) into startUrls.

What does a "real apply URL" mean exactly? Eluta's apply buttons go through an internal redirect. The actor follows that redirect server-side and stores the destination — the employer's own ATS posting — in applyUrl, with the source career-site domain in sourceDomain.

Does it cover all of Canada? Yes. Leave location empty to search nationally, or run multiple cities in one go — every query × location pair becomes its own search in the same run.

How do I get only new jobs each day? Enable monitoringMode, set sortBy: date, and schedule the actor daily. Already-delivered job IDs are skipped without fetching (and without charge). resetMonitoringState rebuilds the baseline.
