SimplyHired Jobs Scraper

SimplyHired Jobs Scraper

Scrape SimplyHired job listings by title, keyword, or location, up to a million per run. Every listing returns the job title, company, salary, location, and description. No API key or login. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

SimplyHired aggregates job postings from across the web, but manually copying listings is slow and error-prone. This actor searches SimplyHired for any job title, keyword, or location you specify and returns structured results. It handles pagination and rate-limiting so you get clean data without writing a scraper.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your query and location match real listings on SimplyHired. Try a broader keyword or remove the location filter. Also verify that SimplyHired is accessible from your region.

The run stopped before reaching my max items limit.

SimplyHired may not have enough listings for your search. The actor stops when it exhausts all available results, even if the number is below your max items setting.

Some listings are missing the salary field.

Not every employer includes salary information on SimplyHired. The salary field is populated only when the original posting contains it. This is expected behavior.

The actor is running slowly.

The actor respects rate limits to avoid being blocked. Large searches with high max items values will take longer. Consider reducing the max items or running the actor overnight.

I received an error about the location format.

Use a standard city and state format like "New York, NY" or a simple city name like "Chicago". Avoid special characters or overly specific addresses.
