Use Cases

• Job market research - Analyze salary ranges, required skills, and hiring trends for specific roles or regions
• Competitive analysis - Monitor competitors' job postings to understand their hiring strategy and growth areas
• Lead generation - Build lists of actively hiring companies for sales outreach
• Career planning - Aggregate and compare opportunities across locations and companies
• Academic research - Study labor market dynamics, skill demand, and compensation trends
• Recruitment intelligence - Track what job titles, benefits, and salary ranges competitors offer

Performance and Cost

• Speed: ~2-4 jobs per minute (intentionally throttled to avoid blocks)
• Compute units: Approximately 0.5-1 CU per 25 jobs
• Proxy: Residential proxies are required and consume additional credit
• Recommended: Start with small runs (25 jobs) to verify results before scaling up

Important Notes

• Residential proxies required: Indeed has aggressive anti-bot protection. Datacenter proxies will likely be blocked. Use Apify residential proxy groups.
• Rate limiting: The scraper uses conservative concurrency (max 2 parallel browsers) and human-like delays to minimize blocking.
• Data accuracy: Salary and benefits data is only available when explicitly listed by the employer. The workMode field uses keyword detection and may not always be accurate.
• Indeed ToS: Ensure your use case complies with Indeed's Terms of Service. This tool is provided for educational and research purposes.
