❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔍 How many jobs can I collect per run?

Free users can preview up to 10 results. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 listings per run, limited only by available search results.

💰 Why are some salary fields empty?

Not all employers include salary information in their job postings. When salary is listed, the actor automatically parses it into structured min, max, currency, and period fields.

🛠️ How are skills extracted?

The actor uses pattern matching to identify programming languages, frameworks, cloud platforms, databases, and other technical tools mentioned anywhere in the job description.

📄 What's the difference between descriptionText and descriptionHtml?

descriptionText is plain text suitable for analysis and search. descriptionHtml preserves the original formatting with headings, lists, and links.

🔄 Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduling to run the actor daily, weekly, or at any interval. New results are deduplicated by job key.

🌐 Does it work for non-US locations?

Yes. SimplyHired covers multiple countries. Enter any location supported by SimplyHired in the location field.
