## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Indeed Hiring-Intent Leads Scraper — Companies Actively Hiring on Indeed ($5/1,000 leads)

**Turn Indeed job postings into a B2B lead list of companies with hiring intent** — the buying-intent signal recruiters and sales teams have been missing. Search Indeed by job title + location and get one row per **company**, ranked by **hiring velocity** (how many roles they have open right now), not a pile of duplicate job ads.

---

### What does it do?

This actor searches **Indeed** for a job position + location, then **rolls every matching job posting up to its employer** — one clean row per **company** instead of one row per ad. It counts **open_roles** per company (your hiring-velocity signal: more open roles = more budget, more urgency, more pain), crawls each company's own website to find a real **email**, **phone**, and **social links** (Indeed itself almost never publishes contact info), dedupes by domain/name/email, and scores every lead 0–100 so the hottest, most contactable prospects sort to the top. Optionally, it writes a personalized **AI cold-outreach opener** per company using your own OpenAI/Anthropic key.

No Indeed API key, no proxies, no coding — enter a position and a location, hit run.

---

### Why use it / who's it for

A company with 5+ open roles has budget, urgency, and a problem your product or service can solve. This actor is built for:

- **Recruiters & staffing/RPO agencies** — find companies actively hiring for the exact roles you place, before they post on 10 other job boards.
- **B2B sales teams** — target growing companies using "hiring intent" as a trigger event, instead of cold-calling static business lists.
- **HR-tech, payroll, benefits & background-check vendors** — reach decision-makers at the precise moment they're scaling headcount.
- **Market researchers & investors** — track which companies or industries in a city are expanding hiring.
- **Fractional recruiters / talent agencies** — build a prospect list of companies that need help filling roles fast.

---

### How to use it

1. Enter a **job position** (e.g. `sales manager`) or a list of `searchTerms` for multiple roles at once.
2. Enter a **location** (e.g. `Austin, TX`), or leave blank to search everywhere.
3. Set `maxItems` — how many job postings to scrape before roll-up (default 100).
4. Optionally turn on filters: `onlyWithWebsite`, `onlyWithEmail` (best for cold-email lists).
5. Optionally turn on `writeOpeners` with your own OpenAI/Anthropic key for a personalized icebreaker per lead.
6. Run the actor — export results to CSV, JSON, or Excel, or pull them via the API.

---

### Output fields

One row per **company**, best-scored leads first:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `lead_score` | 0–100 score combining contactability (email/website/phone) and hiring velocity — rows are sorted highest first. |
| `company` | Employer name, rolled up from all matching job postings. |
| `sample_title` | A representative open role found at this company. |
| `open_roles` | Count of distinct open postings for this company — the hiring-velocity / buying-intent signal. |
| `location` | Job location as shown on Indeed. |
| `email` | Best contact email found on the company's own website. |
| `email_status` | `found` or `missing`. |
| `extra_emails` | Other emails discovered on the company site, if any. |
| `phone` | Company phone number, when found. |
| `website` | Company website URL. |
| `rating` / `reviews` | Employer rating and review count, when Indeed provides them. |
| `linkedin` / `facebook` / `twitter` | Social profiles found on the company website, when present. |
| `icebreaker` | Personalized AI cold-outreach opener (only when `writeOpeners` is on). |
| `indeed_url` | Link back to a matching Indeed job posting. |

---

### Input example

```json
{
  "position": "warehouse associate",
  "location": "Dallas, TX",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "enrichEmails": true,
  "onlyWithEmail": true,
  "writeOpeners": false
}
````

You can also search multiple roles at once with `searchTerms` instead of `position`:

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["registered nurse", "medical assistant"],
  "location": "Phoenix, AZ",
  "maxItems": 300,
  "onlyWithWebsite": true
}
```

### How much does it cost?

This actor runs **pay-per-result**: **$0.005 per lead — $5 per 1,000 leads delivered** (effective 2026-07-16), charged only on companies that make it through your filters, never on raw job postings scraped. New users get roughly **1,000 results free** on the Apify free tier before any charge applies. Turn on `onlyWithEmail` if you only want to pay for leads you can actually contact. Email enrichment is included at no extra cost; AI openers run on your own OpenAI/Anthropic key, so that spend never touches this actor's pricing.

***

### FAQ

#### Is it legal to scrape Indeed for leads?

This actor collects **public** job-posting data only, then enriches it from each company's own public website. Use the output for legitimate B2B outreach or recruiting, and follow applicable anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR) when contacting leads.

#### How fresh is the hiring data?

Every run pulls live, current job postings directly from Indeed at the time you run the actor — there's no cached or stale dataset. Re-run on a schedule (via Apify's built-in scheduler) to catch new postings as companies ramp up hiring.

#### Do I need an Indeed API key or proxies?

No. Indeed search and company-website email enrichment both work out of the box with no key and no proxy setup. A key is only required if you switch on AI cold-outreach openers, and it's your own OpenAI or Anthropic key — used once per run, never stored.

#### Why is the number of leads lower than `maxItems`?

`maxItems` caps job **postings** scraped, not companies returned. Postings from the same employer collapse into a single company row with a higher `open_roles` count, so the final lead count is typically well below `maxItems`.

#### Can I export the leads to my CRM or Google Sheets?

Yes — export to CSV, JSON, or Excel from the Output tab, pull results via the Apify API, or push rows into Google Sheets, HubSpot, or Salesforce through Make, n8n, or Zapier.

# Actor input Schema

## `position` (type: `string`):

The role/keyword to search for on Indeed, e.g. 'sales manager' or 'software engineer'. Companies with open postings for this role become your leads.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Optional: search multiple positions at once instead of a single 'Job position' above. One search term per line.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City/state or region to search in, e.g. 'Austin, TX'. Leave blank to search all locations.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

How many Indeed job postings to scrape before rolling them up to unique companies (1–5000). More postings = more companies found, but a longer run.

## `onlyWithWebsite` (type: `boolean`):

Drop leads that have no company website (you can't enrich an email without one).

## `onlyWithEmail` (type: `boolean`):

Drop leads where no email could be found. Best for cold-email campaigns. Requires 'Find emails' below to be on.

## `enrichEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each company's website (home + /contact + /about) to extract emails and social links. Much higher email fill-rate. No key needed.

## `writeOpeners` (type: `boolean`):

Generate a personalized one-sentence outreach opener for each company, referencing that they're actively hiring. Requires your OpenAI/Anthropic key below.

## `llmProvider` (type: `string`):

Which model writes the openers.

## `llmApiKey` (type: `string`):

Your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key. Used only to write the openers; never stored.

## `llmModel` (type: `string`):

Override the default model (gpt-4o-mini for OpenAI, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 for Anthropic).
