Hirist Jobs Scraper — India Tech Jobs, Recruiter & Salary Data

Scrape tech job postings from hirist.tech (India's IT/tech job board) straight off its own JSON API — no login, no cookies, no proxy, no browser. Search by keyword, city, experience band and freshness, and get back 61 structured fields per job: employer and its web domain, the named recruiter and their job title, the full skill-tag list split into mandatory vs optional, salary band, experience range, application and view counts, diversity-hiring flags, and the complete job description in both HTML and clean plain text.

Why Use This Scraper?

• The recruiter is a real person, not a black box. Every posting carries recruiterName and recruiterDesignation — the actual talent-acquisition contact, straight from hirist's own payload.
• The employer's own domain, on every row. companyDomain / companyWebsite come from the posting itself, so you can join to your CRM or run contact enrichment without guessing a domain from a company name.
• Mandatory vs optional skills, separated. hirist tags each skill with whether it is required. mandatorySkills is the subset that actually gates an application — the field most job feeds flatten away.
• Real demand signals. applyCount and viewCount show how contested a posting is, which is the difference between a job feed and hiring-market intelligence.
• 93 locations, resolved by name. Type Bangalore or Gurugram; the actor maps it to hirist's internal id for you. Multi-city postings report the city you searched for as the primary location.
• No proxy needed. hirist's API answers 200 to a direct request, so runs are fast and you are not burning proxy budget.

Overview

hirist.tech is India's dedicated technology job board — Java, DevOps, data, product, QA and the rest of the IT stack, across ~90 Indian cities plus an overseas tail (Dubai, Singapore, London, Canada, Germany).

This actor talks to hirist's own JSON service rather than parsing HTML, which means the output is structurally stable and there is nothing to break when the site restyles. A single keyword like java typically matches several thousand live postings.

Supply one or more keywords, optionally narrow by city, experience band and how recently the job was posted, and the actor pages through the results, de-duplicates, and writes one clean row per job.

Supported Inputs

Input type	Pattern	Example
Keyword	any job title, skill or technology	java, devops, data engineer
Location	hirist's own label, either half of a slash-alias, or the numeric id	Bangalore, Gurugram, Remote, 3
Search URL	https://www.hirist.tech/search/{keyword}-jobs	https://www.hirist.tech/search/python-jobs
Direct job URL	https://www.hirist.tech/j/{slug}-{id}	https://www.hirist.tech/j/digital-harbor-lead-java-developer-spring-boot-1667426

Use Cases

• Recruitment intelligence — track which companies are hiring which stacks, at what experience level, and how much competition each posting attracts.
• Lead generation for staffing firms — every row carries a named recruiter and the employer's own domain.
• Salary and skills benchmarking — experienceMin/experienceMax paired with mandatorySkills across thousands of postings.
• Candidate-facing job feeds — daily monitoring runs with postedWithinDays: 1, filtered server-side so you don't pay for yesterday's jobs.
• Market research on India's tech hiring — which cities, which stacks, which employers, over time.

How It Works

1. Input — give keywords (and optionally cities, an experience band, and a freshness window)
2. Resolve — city names are mapped to hirist's internal location ids; unknown names are reported rather than silently ignored
3. Search — the actor pages GET /job/search, cycling between your keywords a page at a time so one broad term can't use up the whole item budget
4. De-duplicate — hirist repeats promoted postings across pages, so rows are keyed by job id before anything is fetched or billed
5. Fetch detail — optionally calls GET /job/detail per job for the full description and application count
6. Output — one row per job, as JSON or CSV

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Notes
searchKeywords	string[]	one of	Job titles, skills or technologies. Each is searched separately and results are interleaved.
locations	string[]	no	City/state/country. Accepts hirist's label, either half of a slash-alias (Gurugram for Gurgaon/Gurugram), or the numeric id. Several act as OR.
experienceMinYears / experienceMaxYears	integer	no	Years. hirist matches on overlap, not containment — see the FAQ.
postedWithinDays	integer	no	Server-side freshness. Stale postings are never fetched, so they cost nothing.
startUrls	string[]	one of	hirist search URLs (contribute their keyword) and/or direct job URLs. Crawled in addition to the keywords.
fetchDescriptions	boolean	no	Fetch each job's detail endpoint for description, descriptionText and applyCount. Turn off for a roughly 2× faster run. Default true. Also accepts the portfolio-wide alias fetchDetails.
postedWithinHours	integer	no	Stricter client-side recency cut, re-checked on each row's own posted date.
enrichEmails	boolean	no	Experimental. Reads the employer's own site (from companyDomain) for a contact email. Billed only when an email is found. Default false.
maxItems	integer	no	Hard cap on rows. Default 1000. Free-tier runs are capped at 100.
maxConcurrency	integer	no	Parallel detail requests. Default 10.
proxy	object	no	Not needed. Off by default — hirist answers directly.

Key Output Fields

Field	Type	Notes
jobId	string	hirist's own numeric id. Unique across the whole site — safe as a dedup key on its own.
companyDomain / companyWebsite	string | null	The employer's own domain, from the posting. null on confidential postings.
recruiterName / recruiterDesignation	string | null	The named talent-acquisition contact and their job title.
salary	object | null	{ currency, min, max }. null when undisclosed — hirist writes 0-0 plus a hideSal flag for "not disclosed", and that is deliberately not published as a real ₹0 band. Check salaryDisclosed to tell "hidden" from "missing".
experienceMin / experienceMax	number | null	Years. null when unspecified — again, hirist's 0–0 marker is not published as a real entry-level band.
skills / mandatorySkills	string[]	Every tag, and the subset hirist marks as required.
location / locations	string / string[]	Many postings list several cities. location is the one you searched for when the job matches it; locations is always the full set.
applyCount / viewCount	number | null	How many candidates applied and viewed — a live contest signal.
isFromAts / isCrawled	boolean	Whether hirist ingested the posting from an employer ATS feed or its own crawler rather than it being posted natively.
diversity*	boolean	hirist's own diversity-hiring flags: women, differently-abled, ex-defence, women returning to work.

FAQ

Do I need a login, cookie or proxy? No. hirist's JSON API answers a direct request with nothing but a browser user-agent and a hirist referer. The proxy input exists only for callers who need a specific egress IP.

Why does an experience filter of 3–10 years return a job advertised as 8–18? Because hirist matches on overlap, not containment: a posting is returned when its band intersects yours. That is hirist's own behaviour, not a filter bug. Use experienceMin/experienceMax on the output rows if you need strict containment.

Why is salary null on most rows? Because most hirist employers hide it. The API returns 0-0 with hideSal: 1, which this actor reports as salary: null + salaryDisclosed: false rather than inventing a ₹0 band.

A job I searched for in Bangalore shows other cities too — is that wrong? No. hirist tags many postings with several cities and returns them when any city matches. The location field shows the city you asked for; locations lists all of them.

How do I get only today's jobs? Set postedWithinDays: 1 so hirist filters server-side and you aren't billed for older postings. Add postedWithinHours: 24 if you want a second, stricter cut.

Can I search by industry or functional area? Not yet as an input. Both come back on every row (industry, functionalArea, categoryId) so you can filter after the run.

Is the job description HTML or text? Both. description keeps the original HTML; descriptionText is the cleaned plain-text version with paragraph structure preserved.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

This actor is MCP-friendly and returns flat, self-describing rows. For retrieval and embedding pipelines use descriptionText rather than description — it is already stripped of markup with paragraph structure intact. Deduplicate on jobId, which is globally unique on hirist. mandatorySkills is the highest-signal field for matching a candidate to a role, and applyCount is the best available proxy for how contested a posting is. Note that salary is null far more often than it is populated; branch on salaryDisclosed rather than treating null as zero.
