🔒 ClearanceJobs Security Clearance Jobs Scraper

🚀 Pull cleared-talent job listings in seconds. Search by keyword, location, clearance level, polygraph, workplace type, and experience. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

ClearanceJobs.com is the largest career network for security-cleared professionals in the United States, listing roles from defense contractors, intelligence agencies, federal civilian agencies, and supporting integrators. Every posting on the site requires some level of government clearance, from Public Trust through Top Secret with full-scope polygraph. Recruiters, hiring managers, market analysts, and cleared professionals use the network every day to track open roles, identify hiring trends, and benchmark compensation in the cleared talent market.

This scraper turns that activity into structured data you can analyze, archive, or pipe into another tool. It captures job title, company, location, clearance requirement, polygraph status, salary range, job type, experience level, category, travel requirement, posting date, full description, and direct apply link for every result that matches your filters. Run it once for a one-off pull or run it on a schedule to keep a rolling snapshot of cleared hiring activity.

📋 What the ClearanceJobs Scraper does

• 🔒 Clearance level filtering. Narrow results to Public Trust, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, DoE Q/L, DHS, or specific intel agency tracks.
• 🌐 Workplace and remote control. Pull on-site only, remote-friendly, hybrid, or any combination using a single dropdown.
• 🧪 Polygraph awareness. Flag postings that require a polygraph (CI, full-scope) versus those that do not.
• 💼 Employer targeting. Filter by company name to track hiring at a specific contractor or integrator.
• 📍 Location targeting. City, state, or zip code search across CONUS, OCONUS, and remote roles.
• 📊 Rich detail pages. Each record includes the full job description, salary band when published, job code, category, and travel requirement.

Every record contains a deterministic shape so you can drop the dataset straight into a spreadsheet, BI tool, or downstream pipeline without reshaping fields. The scraper paginates through search results automatically and stops when it hits your maxItems limit or the natural end of the result set.

💡 Why it matters: Cleared hiring moves on its own cycle, driven by funded programs and clearance backlogs. Watching the listings live gives recruiters and analysts a leading indicator for which contractors are staffing up and where new opportunities are landing.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: category, clearanceLevel, companyLogoUrl, companyName, companyUrl, experienceLevel, jobCode, jobDescription, jobTitle, jobType, jobUrl, location, polygraph, postedDate, salary, scrapedAt, travelRequired, workplaceType. All 18 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: Keyword search supports Boolean operators. Use quotes for exact phrases ("cyber security"). The location filter accepts free text, so partial matches work ("Virginia" matches every VA posting).
