## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Asia Pacific Hiring Leads: Find Companies Hiring in Australia, Singapore & Southeast Asia

Get a **list of companies that are actively hiring right now** in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Thailand. Every row is one company with how many roles they are hiring for, which roles, where, the salaries they advertise and links to every job.

Built for **recruitment agencies looking for new clients** and **B2B sales teams** who sell to growing companies.

### What does this do?

A company posting ten jobs this week has budget, growth and an urgent need. This Actor reads the newest job ads from SEEK, JobStreet and JobsDB, leading job sites across the region, and turns thousands of ads into a short, ranked list of **companies hiring now**.

### Pricing

**$0.01 per company lead.** Individual job ads are included for free inside each lead.

| Leads | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 companies hiring | $1 |
| Accountant roles in all 8 countries, companies with 2+ roles, last 7 days (example above) | 367 leads, $3.67 |
| 1,000 companies hiring | $10 |

Use **Minimum open roles** to only pay for the strongest leads.

### FAQ

**How are recruitment agencies removed?**
An advertiser is treated as an agency when its name looks like one (for example "Recruitment", "Talent", "Hays", "Michael Page") or when at least a third of its ads say things like "our client is" or "we are partnering with". It catches many agencies but not every one, so turn the filter off if you want to review everyone.

**How many jobs does it read?**
The job sites return up to 500 of the newest jobs for each keyword in each country. To reach more companies, add more specific keywords or use a shorter time window.

**Are "Private Advertiser" jobs included?**
No. They have no company name, so they cannot be a lead.

**Does it include contact details?**
No. It returns the company, its open roles and links to its jobs. Pair it with your usual contact finding tool.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run reads the job sites live, sorted by newest first.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
