Swiss Jobs Scraper (Job-Room / arbeit.swiss)

🇨🇭 Swiss Jobs Scraper (Job-Room / arbeit.swiss)

Get every open job on Job-Room, Switzerland's public job platform run by SECO and the regional employment centres (also known as arbeit.swiss, travail.swiss and lavoro.swiss): more than 80,000 jobs from employers, partner job boards and the RAV offices. Each job comes with the full description, the company with its address, phone and email, the recruiter by name with phone and email, how to apply, workload, contract type, the languages required with their level, the occupation in plain words, exact coordinates and, when the ad states it, the salary. No login, no account.

Search by keyword, occupation, job title, company, canton, postal code, or distance around any Swiss town, and filter on what matters to you: remote work, immediate start, no German required, a contact email, a stated salary, or only employers hiring directly (no staffing agencies). Turn on change tracking and schedule it, and each run tells you which jobs are new, changed or closed, with an optional alert to Slack, Discord, Telegram or your own webhook.

👉 Try it now: press Start. The ready-made input gives you 10 results in a few seconds.
💰 $0.0171 per result on the Free plan (10 results per run), from $0.0154 on paid plans. See pricing

⚙️ Input

How many jobs sits at the very top. It is 10 (prefilled) so a first run is a quick sample; clear it to get every match. The rest reads like a conversation:

2 · Where?	A town with a distance around it, whole cantons, or postal codes.
3 · Contract and hours	Permanent or temporary, workload from and up to, start right away.
4 · Only show jobs that...	were published recently, offer home office, state a salary, need no experience, are posted by the employer itself, come with an email, phone, contact person or application link, don't require German, French or Italian.
5 · Results	Order, and the language of occupation names.
6 · Already have job links?	Paste links to get just those jobs; the search sections are then ignored.
7 · Get only new jobs on each run	Change tracking for scheduled runs.
8 · Send me an alert	Slack, Discord, Telegram or a webhook.

❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there a Swiss Jobs API? Do I need an API key?

Swiss Jobs has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Swiss Jobs API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP: claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/jobroom-scraper"

Why do I get only 10 results?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

How fast is it?

About 1,000 jobs in half a minute; the whole platform of 80,000+ jobs takes proportionally longer. Rare combinations (for example a stated salary, or no experience needed) have to look through many jobs to find enough matches, so they take a little longer.

How is the salary found?

Job-Room has no salary field, so the ad text is read for a stated amount next to a pay word, such as "zwischen CHF 57'700 bis CHF 67'700 pro Jahr" or "mindestens CHF 4'192 pro Monat". Amounts that are not pay, like a travel allowance, are left out. About 2 in 100 ads state a salary; those get minimum, maximum and period.

How does the distance search work?

Type any Swiss town in "Town or city" and pick a distance. The town is matched to its location and every job within that distance comes back, across canton borders.

I got fewer jobs than expected

Contact filters (email, phone, named contact) and "posted by the employer itself" cut the pool the most, loosen them first.

A job link shows as offline

The job was closed or filled; it's still returned so you know.

What are the limits?

This Actor reads only public job ads. It never signs in and never contacts employers.

Recruiter names, phones and emails are published by the employers on their own ads for applicants. Use them for relevant recruitment and business purposes, and respect Swiss and EU privacy and anti-spam rules when you reach out.

Is this an official Swiss Jobs tool?

No. It is independent and not affiliated with Swiss Jobs. It reads only data Swiss Jobs publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Swiss Jobs's terms and the laws that apply to you.
