🧑‍💻 PCRecruiter Jobs Scraper

One structured job_record per LIVE job posting from a public, logged-out ATS board. Public, robots-honoured.

Difference: one job_record per LIVE PCRecruiter posting, deduped on (uid, recordid). Full boards are enumerated through the board's OWN anonymous pager; the pcr-id session token is never sent, stored, or replayed.

Output is one job_record row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one job record (a $0.02 start fee per run, then $0.05 per job record). Source: www2.pcrecruiter.net.

No login, no API key and no CAPTCHA solving are involved: the source is read logged-out with an identified contact User-Agent.

The run finished with the status message: NORMAL: 10 unique rows (0 duplicates collapsed) from None. billable=10

✅ What you get

Each row is flat JSON with these fields (from the dataset schema and the sample run; a field the source does not publish for a given row is null):

• record_type (string) — e.g. job_record
• uid (string/null) — e.g. bull city talent.bullcitytalent
• record_id (string/null) — e.g. 508386575475228
• title (string/null) — e.g. Exact - SAP DMC Consultant (2) Houston TX Contract Full-Time
• detail_url (string/null) — e.g. https://www2.pcrecruiter.net/pcrbin/jobboard.aspx?action=detail&recordid=5083865
• source_ats (string/null) — e.g. pcrecruiter
• source (string/null) — e.g. pcrecruiter-jobs-scraper
• release_date (string/null) — null in every sample row
• source_url (string/null) — e.g. https://www2.pcrecruiter.net/pcrbin/jobboard.aspx
• observed_at (string/null) — e.g. 2026-09-17T17:43:57Z
• terminal (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• reported_total (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• raw_seen (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• duplicates (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• unique_found (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• delivered (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• scope (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row
• note (string/integer/null) — null in every sample row

What you get

One job_record per live posting, deduplicated on the source-native posting id. Fields the board does not publish are honest null. A run_receipt row carries the scope and delivered/duplicate totals.

Every run also writes a RUN_RECEIPT record to its key-value store with the source checks it made and the counts it charged — diagnostics never land in the paid dataset.

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "uids": [
    "bull city talent.bullcitytalent"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 10,
  "maxPages": 1
}

The sample run charged exactly: 1 × $0.02 apify-actor-start + 10 × $0.05 job_record = $0.52 on the Free tier — every delivered row was billed.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "uids": [
    "bull city talent.bullcitytalent"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 5,
  "maxPages": 1
}

Caps the run at 5 rows — about $0.27 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5 × $0.05).

3. A full-size run

{
  "uids": [
    "bull city talent.bullcitytalent"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 5000,
  "maxPages": 1
}

Up to 5000 rows (the schema default for maxRecords) — about $250.02 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5000 × $0.05) if the source has that many.

🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run 4t0R5NX2LlhiidJoL, exactly as it lands in the dataset (emails masked, long text shortened):

{
  "record_type": "job_record",
  "uid": "bull city talent.bullcitytalent",
  "record_id": "508386575475228",
  "title": "Exact - SAP DMC Consultant (2) Houston TX Contract Full-Time",
  "detail_url": "https://www2.pcrecruiter.net/pcrbin/jobboard.aspx?action=detail&recordid=508386575475228&uid=bull%20city%20talent.bullcitytalent",
  "source_ats": "pcrecruiter",
  "source": "pcrecruiter-jobs-scraper",
  "release_date": null,
  "source_url": "https://www2.pcrecruiter.net/pcrbin/jobboard.aspx",
  "observed_at": "2026-09-17T17:43:57Z"
}

🔧 How it works

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. robots.txt is read first and a disallowed path is never fetched. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent.

Charging. Each job record is charged at the moment it is pushed (job_record); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count.

How it behaves

Supply one or more PCRecruiter board uids (database.account) or board URLs. Each board is read and paged via its own tokenless morecount mechanism until exhausted, recordids harvested and deduped. The pcr-id session token is dropped from every request. An empty board or a structure change fails loud.

Source

https://www2.pcrecruiter.net/pcrbin/jobboard.aspx?uid={database}.{account}

What is not done. No login, no cookie or CAPTCHA bypass, no private or personal-account data, no browser automation.

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
Job record (job_record)	$0.05	$0.04	$0.04	$0.03

Worked at the live Free-tier price:

• 8 job records: $0.02 start + 8 × $0.05 = $0.42
• 25 job records: $0.02 start + 25 × $0.05 = $1.27
• 5000 job records: $0.02 start + 5000 × $0.05 = $250.02

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.02 start fee only. A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 1024 MB.

Yield on the sample run: NORMAL: 10 unique rows (0 duplicates collapsed) from None. billable=10. maxRecords is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by www2.pcrecruiter.net. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, keeps to the source's robots rules (checked on every run), identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (www2.pcrecruiter.net) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input; BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee only.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to maxRecords (default 5000). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other ATS job feeds actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers www2.pcrecruiter.net. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

Q: Are there rate limits?
A: The actor paces itself against the source and honours its robots rules; there is no per-buyer limit beyond your Apify plan's concurrency.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
• Status says CAPPED → your cap (maxRecords) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
• Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
• Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
