✨ What it does

• Search: one or more keywords, in any Chinese city, by Chinese name, English name, or city code, each keyword and city combination getting its own fair share of the row cap.
• Filters: education level, company ownership type, company size, and salary range, each one checked against the job's own parsed fields so the filter you set is the filter you actually get.
• Full job description and real GPS coordinates on every row, at no extra cost.
• A recruiter response-rate badge on every row, at no extra cost.
• Optional real-time recruiter status: turn on full profile detail to add whether the recruiter is currently online or recently active.

Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Why this scraper

• A verified recruiter-responsiveness signal, reachable two ways, one of them free. A response-rate badge comes on every row at no extra cost; real-time online status is one opt-in step away.
• Full description and GPS coordinates for free, with no slower enrichment pass needed to get these two basics right.
• Filter values verified one by one against real results, not copied from documentation. One of this Actor's verified findings corrects a real competitor's own published filter code for "private company."
• A company-size filter that's honest about its own limits. Only the company-size options confirmed to be genuine exact matches are offered; the ones confirmed to silently return a mix of sizes are left out rather than shipped broken.
• Filters that are actually correct, not just narrower. Every returned row is re-checked against its own real parsed fields, not just handed back from a source filter that doesn't reliably bound its own results.
• Fair keyword and city budgeting. Search several keywords across several cities in one run and each real combination gets its own fair share of the row cap.
• No login required.

🛡️ Limits & responsible use

This Actor reads only Zhaopin's own public search results, with no login and no key needed.

Job listing text (titles, descriptions, company and city names) is returned exactly as Zhaopin publishes it, in its own original Chinese, rather than risking a machine translation on names and descriptions.

recruiter_online_status is only set when full profile detail is turned on; the always-on recruiter_response_badge is the free alternative and is populated whenever Zhaopin itself sets it. financing_stage and welfare_labels are only set on a minority of listings since not every company discloses them; every other core field (salary, education, experience, location, description, GPS) is populated consistently.

This Actor is independent and not affiliated with Zhaopin.
