Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your keyword filter. If you set a keyword that does not appear in any job title, the Actor returns an empty dataset. Try removing the keyword or using a broader term.

Why are some jobs missing?

The Actor reads the public job board pages, which may not list every role a firm is hiring for. Some firms only show a subset of jobs on their public page.

Why did the run fail?

A VC firm's job board may have changed its layout. Try running the Actor with only that firm to isolate the issue, then contact support with the run ID.

Can I get more than 1,000,000 jobs?

The maxItems input is capped at 1,000,000. If you need more, split your run by firm or keyword and merge the datasets.

Why is the remote filter not working?

The Actor relies on the remote status listed on each job board. Some boards do not mark remote jobs clearly, so a few may slip through. Try adding 'remote' as a keyword.
