Google Jobs Scraper — Multi-Board Apply Links, Salary & Employer Emails

Scrape Google's jobs vertical — the aggregated feed Google builds from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Monster, Dice, Built In, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and thousands of company career sites. One search surfaces postings from all of them at once.

Every row carries the job's title, company, location, source board, posted date, salary, schedule, benefits — and every syndicated apply link Google knows about, not just one.

$2.50 per 1,000 jobs, billed per job returned. No per-page or upfront charges, so a search that finds nothing costs only the $0.005 start fee. Over the last 30 days, 99% of public runs succeeded (424 of 428).

Why use this scraper

Every apply route, not one	Google lists the same job on LinkedIn and Indeed and the employer's own ATS. Most scrapers return a single link. This one returns all 4–8, each labelled with its board.
Full descriptions, structured	Not just a teaser: the complete job description (median ~3,500 characters) plus Google's own qualification, responsibility and benefit bullets as clean arrays.
New-jobs-only monitoring	Turn on one checkbox and the actor remembers what it already sent you. Schedule it daily and every run returns only the postings that are new — no re-reading yesterday's list, and no paying for duplicate rows.
Employer contact emails	Optional: resolve the hiring company's own website and pull a public contact address, turning a job feed into a lead list.
Built for breadth	On top of paging, your keywords × locations expand into a full search matrix run in parallel, then de-duplicated.
One consistent row shape	Identical field names to the rest of this jobs-scraper family, so one column mapping works across all of them.
Fails loudly, not silently	If Google cannot be reached, the run ends FAILED with the reason in the status message. A run that ends SUCCEEDED with zero rows means Google itself had no jobs for that search.

Coming from another Google Jobs scraper?

These are the problems users report most often on Google Jobs actors in the Store, and how this one handles each.

Common complaint	What this actor does
"It doesn't work" / runs return nothing	99% of public runs succeeded over the last 30 days. Google is fetched through several scraping services with automatic failover, and a run that cannot reach Google ends FAILED with the reason, so you never pay for a silent empty run.
Charged for a run that returned zero jobs	You pay per job returned ($0.0025 each). There is no per-page or upfront charge. An empty search costs only the $0.005 start fee.
Zero results when only a country is set	Leave locations empty and the actor searches the whole selected country (for example nurse jobs in United Kingdom).
Lots of duplicates on daily scheduled runs	onlyNewJobs remembers every job already sent (45 days) and returns only new ones. Add datePosted: "today" or postedWithinHours: 24 for a strict last-24-hours feed.
Only one apply link per job	applyLinks lists every apply route Google shows (LinkedIn, Indeed, the employer's ATS and more), each labelled with its board.
Output tab shows an error or no columns	The dataset has a ready-made "Jobs" table view, and every row has the same keys.

Overview

Google's jobs vertical (the "Jobs" tab, internally udm=8) is the largest job aggregator most people never scrape directly — because it will not render without JavaScript and blocks datacenter traffic outright. This actor handles that for you and returns clean, structured rows.

Give it a list of keywords and a list of locations. It builds one Google search per combination, fetches them concurrently, parses each result card, merges everything, drops duplicates, and writes one row per job.

Supported inputs

Input	Example	Notes
Keywords	software engineer, registered nurse	Job titles, skills, or free text
Locations	New York, Chicago, London	Leave empty to search the whole country — see the FAQ
Country	us, gb, ca, au, in	Which Google market to search
Google Jobs URLs	https://www.google.com/search?q=nurse+jobs+in+chicago&udm=8	Paste directly; legacy ibp=htl;jobs links are upgraded automatically

---

Use cases

• Job boards & aggregators — fill a niche board from a source that already merges every major board.
• Recruitment agencies — monitor who is hiring for your specialty in your city, daily, and see which ATS each employer uses.
• Sales & lead generation — companies that are hiring are companies that are spending. Turn on email enrichment and every posting becomes a qualified lead with a contact address.
• Market & salary research — track posting volume, salary bands and remote share by role and metro over time.
• Candidate tools — power a job-alert product with a de-duplicated, multi-board feed.
• HR & competitive intelligence — watch a competitor's hiring: which roles, which locations, which salary bands.

How it works

1. Expand — your keywords × locations become a matrix of Google searches.
2. Fetch — each search is rendered server-side through a built-in unblocking service, from a residential exit node in your chosen country. Nothing to configure.
3. Parse — each result card yields title, company, location, source board, posted date, salary, schedule, benefits and qualifications.
4. Attribute — Google renders each job's apply links in its own container; the actor matches them 1:1 to the right job, so links never bleed between postings.
5. De-duplicate — the same job found by two different searches is emitted once.
6. Filter — recency, salary-only, remote-only and schedule filters are applied.
7. Enrich (optional) — resolve the employer's website and scrape a public contact email.
8. Push — one clean row per job.

Getting more than 10 jobs per search

Google's jobs tab shows ~10 results per search. The reliable way to get more is the search matrix:

1. The search matrix: keywords × locations × employmentTypes each add distinct searches, run in parallel and de-duplicated. Employment types are especially effective, since each type returns a largely different result set (FULLTIME + CONTRACTOR doubled results with zero overlap in testing). 3 keywords × 4 cities ≈ 120 jobs; add two employment types and it is ≈ 240.
2. Pages per search (maxPagesPerQuery): the actor also tries Google's "load more" cursor for further pages. Google currently answers it with an empty page, so plan on ~10 jobs per search and treat extra pages as a bonus. Empty extra pages cost nothing.

Example input

{
  "keywords": ["software engineer", "data analyst"],
  "locations": ["New York", "Chicago", "Austin"],
  "country": "us",
  "postedWithinHours": 24,
  "onlyNewJobs": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

That is 2 × 3 = 6 searches, filtered to the last 24 hours, returning only jobs no previous run has seen.

FAQ

How many jobs will I get per search? About 10. Google's jobs tab returns ~10 jobs per search, and its "load more" pages currently come back empty for most searches. For volume, widen the matrix: 5 keywords × 6 cities ≈ 300 jobs, and each extra employment type adds a largely new set.

Should I use the Google-side or the client-side filters? Prefer the Google-side ones (datePosted, employmentTypes, workFromHome, radius). Because Google only returns ~10 results, filtering there changes which jobs you receive; filtering afterwards only throws away rows you already paid for. Asking Google for "past 24 hours" returns 10 fresh jobs; asking for anything and then filtering to 24 hours might leave you 2.

Do I have to provide a location? No. Google's jobs vertical answers a bare keyword with "there aren't any Jobs matches on this topic", so when locations is empty the actor searches the whole selected country instead (nurse jobs in United Kingdom). For more jobs, list several cities: each city is its own search with its own ~10-30 results.

What does a run cost? $2.50 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0025 per job) plus a $0.005 start fee. Jobs removed by your filters, duplicates, and jobs already sent by onlyNewJobs are not billed. With enrichEmails on, each employer email that is found adds about $0.05; rows without an email cost nothing extra. Free Apify plans are capped at 100 jobs per run.

Why do I get no results for Germany / France / Spain? Google has wound its jobs widget down across the EU, and those markets now return nothing at all. This is Google's change, not a fault in the actor — the log warns you when you pick an affected country. The US, UK, Canada, Australia and India all return rich results.

Why is salary empty on many rows? Because Google only displays a salary when the source posting includes one — roughly 30% of the time in our testing. The salaryOnly filter keeps just those rows if you need complete compensation data.

Does the email enrichment find an address for every employer? No, and it is honest about that. It resolves the employer's website from the company name and reads its public contact pages. Large corporations (Amazon, Charles Schwab) usually publish no contact email, so contactEmail will be empty even though contactWebsite is filled. Hit rates are much better on small and mid-sized employers.

How does "only new jobs" decide what is new? A job's identity is its title + company + location. Once emitted, it is remembered for 45 days in the actor's key-value store, then forgotten — so a genuine re-posting months later reaches you again. The first run returns everything; every run after that returns only what changed.

Do I need a proxy? No. Google is fetched through a built-in unblocking service with no configuration. The proxy input is used only by the optional email-enrichment step.

Pricing

Event	When	Price
Job result	Each job written to the dataset	$0.0025 ($2.50 per 1,000)
Actor start	Once per run	$0.005
Additional data	Only with enrichEmails: each employer email found	about $0.05 per email

Pages, retries and empty searches are never billed. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the actor stops before going over it.

🤖 For AI agents & LLM apps

This actor is a clean tool call for agents that need live labour-market data.

• Deterministic input — keywords and locations are plain string arrays; no URL construction required.
• Stable schema — every row has the same keys in the same order, with null instead of missing fields, so parsing never breaks.
• Structured salary — salary.min / salary.max / salary.currency are already numbers and codes, no regex needed downstream.
• Idempotent scheduling — onlyNewJobs: true gives an agent a change feed instead of a full snapshot, so memory stays small and tokens stay cheap.
• Provenance built in — searchKeyword, searchLocation and via let an agent explain exactly where each row came from.

Minimal input (tested):

{ "keywords": ["registered nurse"], "locations": ["Chicago"], "country": "us", "maxItems": 20 }

• Output fields: title, companyName, location, remote, via, postedDate, salary {currency,min,max,unit}, contractType, description, qualifications[], benefits[], applyUrl, applyLinks[{board,url}], contactEmail, searchKeyword, searchLocation.
• Billing: $0.0025 per job row, $0.005 per run start. Nothing for empty searches.
• Behaviour: ~10 jobs per keyword x location (x employment type); more keywords and cities = more jobs. Empty locations searches the whole country. EU countries return nothing (Google's change). A run that cannot reach Google ends FAILED with the reason.
