Seek.com.au Jobs Scraper — Salary, Company & Full Description

Scrape seek.com.au — Australia's #1 job board (and seek.co.nz) — any keyword/location search, with filters, or individual job URLs. Every job comes back in one clean schema with title, company, location, salary, classification, work type, the full description, apply link, and dates. Pure HTTP, no browser.

Why use this scraper

• Any Seek search, filters and all — paste a {keyword}-jobs/in-{location} URL or a /jobs?keywords=&where= URL with whatever filters you set (classification, work type, salary range, date posted) and the actor honours them and paginates through every matching result.
• Full job detail — title, company, location, salary, classification + sub-classification, work type, the complete HTML description (and plain-text), apply link, listing + expiry dates.
• Salary + classification, parsed — salary range as shown, and the SEEK classification split into parent + sub-classification.
• No browser, no anti-bot fuss — reads Seek's embedded SEEK_REDUX_DATA directly. Fast and cheap.

Overview

Seek embeds its full job data in each page as a JSON island. The actor classifies each URL (search / job), walks search results page by page (~22 per page, ?page=N), fans out to each job, and normalises everything into a consistent row. Ideal for recruiters, sourcers, market analysts, and job aggregators.

Supported inputs

Input URL shape	Example
Keyword/location search	seek.com.au/developer-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW
Query search	seek.com.au/jobs?keywords=nurse&where=Melbourne
Filtered search	…?keywords=marketing&where=Brisbane&worktype=242 (any site filter)
Individual job	seek.com.au/job/{id}

Tip: run a search on seek.com.au, then copy the URL from your browser's address bar — the filter parameters drop straight into startUrls. seek.co.nz works too.

Use cases

• Recruiters & sourcers — pull live roles by keyword, location, classification; build target lists.
• Market analysts — track salary ranges, demand by classification, posting volumes over time.
• Job boards / aggregators — ingest Seek listings with full descriptions into your own index.
• Competitor monitoring — watch which companies are hiring for what, where.

How it works

1. You provide one or more Seek URLs (search or job).
2. The actor classifies each URL and walks search results with ?page=N pagination (filters preserved).
3. Each job's SEEK_REDUX_DATA is parsed for the full structured record.
4. Rows are normalised to one schema and streamed to your dataset — JSON or CSV.

FAQ

Can I scrape a filtered search? Yes — paste any Seek search URL with its filters (classification, work type, salary, date posted, etc.). They're preserved and paginated automatically.

Does it work for New Zealand? Yes — seek.co.nz URLs work the same as seek.com.au.

How many jobs per search? A search returns up to ~22 per page and the actor paginates until maxItems. A single query commonly has hundreds to thousands of matches.
