Resume Job Search Agent — Today's Top 10

Start with one input and output

An Apify account is required. Use your Apify API token when calling the API; Console runs do not need that token pasted into the input. No user API-key field is required by this input schema.

Free-tier event rates checked 2026-10-04: result $0.001; actor-start $5e-05.

Cost: Total = Actor event charges + platform usage if separately billed + any BYO-provider charges. See “Current costs” for your event rates, plan tiers and a calculation. A sample does not promise future billable volume.

Input and output below were read from the same successful run 5aQ1N6uYPvC3s9kku (2026-10-04, immutable build u1FdXp4Vbhhv7LvvU). This is an observed example, not a guarantee that repeating it returns this row. It used an earlier build; current-build execution has not been proved by this example.

Upload a PDF or text resume. The Actor searches the open web and returns up to 10 best-matching jobs explicitly posted today — ranked best-first with a short reason for each score.

No API key. No LLM account. No setup. Upload the resume and hit Run. The AI is included in the price.

Claude / Codex skill to describe and setup this actor: SKILL.md

The Actor reads the resume in memory, uses AI to derive suitable roles, searches employer career pages and ATS boards, rejects pages without an explicit posting date matching the current UTC date, verifies links, and returns the best 10 matches.

Why this and not a job-board scraper

	Board scrapers (LinkedIn, Indeed, Hiring.Cafe…)	This agent
Coverage	One board's index	The open web — employer career pages + ATS boards that never hit a big board
Ranking	Keyword match	Resume-aware LLM match score 0-100 with a written reason, best-first
Dead links	Common	Every link HTTP-verified live before it's returned
Salary	Only if the board has a field	Copied verbatim from the posting, never guessed
Setup	—	No API key needed

What you get

Up to 10 flat JSON records, sorted best-match-first. If fewer than 10 verified matching roles were explicitly posted today, the Actor returns fewer rather than filling the dataset with older or undated jobs.

Field	Meaning
matchScore	0-100 LLM rating of how well this posting fits your request
matchReasoning	One sentence on why it scored that — the fit/mismatch signals it weighed
title	Job title, copied character-for-character from the posting
company	Hiring company / organisation
location	Location (may include remote hints)
salary	Compensation exactly as stated on the posting ("$120k–$150k", "Competitive"). null when the posting states none — the agent never invents a figure
url	Direct link to the posting on the employer's own site or their ATS
postedAt	Posting date (YYYY-MM-DD)
snippet	1-3 sentence summary of the role
verified	true only when the live-link check actually confirmed the URL

Input

In Apify Console, use the Resume file picker. It accepts a text-based PDF or UTF-8 text file up to 5 MB. API callers can pass the uploaded file URL in resume, or plain text in resumeText.

{
  "resume": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/resume.pdf",
  "userDescription": "Fully remote within Europe; prefer fintech or developer tooling.",
  "maxItems": 10
}

Role keywords, seniority, and candidate qualifications are inferred by AI from the resume. userDescription, locations, and the other query fields remain optional overrides for preferences the resume does not contain. Query-only runs without a resume remain supported.

Resume privacy

Resume text is sent to the Actor's built-in Mistral model to build the search profile and score matches. It is not logged, written to the output dataset, or persisted by the Actor. The uploaded source file remains in the Apify key-value store selected during upload and follows that store's retention and access settings.

Pricing

Check this Actor’s Pricing tab for the current charges for your Apify plan.

The AI is included; no separate model-provider key is required.

For source-supplied job facts without AI ranking, Web Search Jobs searches supported job boards without a model key.

Verification — what "verified" does and doesn't mean

verified: true means one thing: at run time, the posting URL was HTTP-reachable and did not redirect to the site's homepage. It is not a claim that the role is still open or that the posting is accurate. Results are kept (with verified: false) when the check is inconclusive — a timeout or a 403 from a bot-defended site is not proof a job is gone, so ambiguous cases aren't punished. Only unambiguous 404/410s and homepage redirects are dropped.

Integrations

Send results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or any webhook via Apify integrations — no code required, or pull the dataset over the API.

Use cases

• Long-tail job discovery beyond the big boards
• A scored, deduped daily job alert by comparing scheduled snapshots downstream
• Passive-candidate tooling — find who's hiring for X
• Niche-role hunting (rare stacks, rare titles)
• Backfilling gaps in board coverage

FAQ

Do I really not need an API key? Correct. The AI runs on our key and is priced into the per-result fee. You need nothing but an Apify account.

Is it legal to scrape job postings? This Actor reads only publicly available job postings — data any visitor can see without logging in. No data behind authentication is touched. Review the target site's terms and your local regulations for your specific use case.

Do I need an account on the target site? No. Postings are discovered via web search and fetched from public pages — no login, cookies or session tokens.

Why did I get fewer than 10 results? The Actor only returns matching roles whose page explicitly dates the posting to today and whose link survives verification. It does not pad the result with older or undated jobs. You are only charged for jobs actually returned.

Does the agent invent salaries or dates? No. Salary is copied from the posting when stated. In resume mode, an absent or non-today posting date causes the role to be skipped; the date is never guessed.

Current costs

Current Actor event rates, checked 2026-10-04. USD; use the Pricing tab for your plan and later changes.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Platinum	Diamond
Job result (result)	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001
Actor start (actor-start)	$5e-05	$5e-05	$5e-05	$5e-05	$5e-05	$5e-05

For example, 100 × result, 1 × actor-start totals $0.10005 in Actor event charges on Free. This is an arithmetic example, before any waiver; actual charged events depend on the run and selected options. It is not a promise of output or a charge for simply setting an item cap.

Your total is the charged Actor events, plus platform usage only if this Actor’s Pricing tab bills it separately, plus any external provider you use with your own key. Do not add platform usage twice when it is included. Apify credits and plan discounts affect your invoice. Set a run cost limit in Console before starting.
