Seek.com.au Job Search with Salary & Work-Type Filters

Seek.com.au job pages embed their full listing data right inside the page, which this actor reads directly — no login, no cookies. Give it search URLs, or a keyword and location to build one, and it returns each matching job with company, salary, classification and the complete description, narrowed by work type, work arrangement, salary band and posting date.

What this actor does

• Scrapes job listings from one or more Seek search URLs, or builds a search URL from a keyword, location, state and postcode
• Accepts a direct job URL as well as a search URL
• Fetches each job's own detail page for the full description and apply link, when enabled
• Filters results client-side by work type, work arrangement, posting date, salary range, subclassification and title keywords
• Can require that the job description contain an email address, a phone number, or both
• Omits a field from the record when Seek's own listing doesn't provide it

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Seek? No. This is an independent data extraction tool and has no connection to Seek Limited.

Do I need to log in or use cookies? No — job listings are publicly accessible without an account.

Does this need a proxy? A proxy input is included and enabled by default, since direct requests from some networks get blocked; leave the default proxyConfiguration in place rather than removing it.

What happens if my search matches no jobs? The run still emits one record with type: "job_seek_blocked" so downstream pipelines never receive a completely empty dataset.

Why is salary or salaryDetails missing from some jobs? Many advertisers don't disclose a salary on Seek at all; when that's the case the actor leaves those fields out rather than guessing a value.

What's the difference between workTypes and workArrangements? workTypes filters on employment basis (full time, part time, contract, casual); workArrangements filters on where the work happens (on-site, hybrid, remote). They can be combined.

What does turning off scrapeJobDetails change? With it off, you get only the fields already present on the search-results page (title, company, location, salary label, posting date); turning it on adds a second fetch per job for the full description, apply link and extra metadata.

Does this cover New Zealand listings on seek.co.nz? No — this actor reads seek.com.au only.
