SEEK Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from SEEK Australia (seek.com.au) and SEEK New Zealand (seek.co.nz). Search by keyword, location, classification, work type, work arrangement and listing date, or paste a SEEK search URL. Each job comes back as one structured record with title, company, salary, location, classification and listing date. With details on (the default), you also get the full description, the applicant count, the employer's screening questions, contact email and phone found in the ad, the expiry date and the company profile (industry, size, website, rating and review count).

The actor reads the same JSON that the SEEK website loads in your browser. It runs over plain HTTP with the Apify datacenter proxy, so there is no browser, no login and no SEEK account involved.

What you can do with it

• Scrape SEEK jobs by keyword, for example registered nurse, data analyst or electrician.
• Export all jobs in a city or region, for example Sydney NSW, Melbourne VIC 3000, Perth WA or Auckland.
• Scrape SEEK New Zealand jobs as well as SEEK Australia jobs.
• Filter SEEK jobs by classification (Healthcare & Medical, Information & Communication Technology, Mining, Resources & Energy and the other 27 SEEK classifications).
• Filter by work type: full time, part time, contract or casual.
• Find remote and hybrid jobs on SEEK with the work arrangement filter.
• Get only new jobs: listed today, or in the last 3, 7, 14 or 31 days.
• Paste any SEEK search URL and scrape it with all of its filters.
• Get the SEEK applicant count for each job, so you can see how competitive a role is.
• Export SEEK screening questions that employers ask applicants.
• Pull contact emails and phone numbers that recruiters put in the ad text.
• Get company ratings, review counts, industry and size from SEEK company profiles.
• Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or through the Apify API.

Use cases

• Recruitment agencies watch new roles in their sector each morning and reach out to the hiring companies, using the advertiser name, contact details and company profile.
• Job market research on salary ranges, work types and remote share per classification or city across Australia and New Zealand.
• Job boards and aggregators import fresh SEEK listings into their own search, filtered to a niche such as nursing, mining or IT.
• Sales teams treat a company that is hiring for a role as a lead. A business posting ten sales roles in Brisbane is growing.
• Job seekers and career coaches track one search over time and see the applicant volume before applying.

How it works

1. For each line in "Search keywords or SEEK URLs", the actor runs a SEEK search with your country, location and filters. SEEK URLs keep their own site, keywords and filters.
2. It pages through results 100 jobs at a time and removes duplicates. Promoted ads repeat across pages, and the actor drops the repeats.
3. SEEK returns at most about 550 jobs for one search. When a search has more and you asked for more than 550, the actor splits it by classification, then work type, then work arrangement, and collects each slice. A very broad search (every job in Australia) can still leave some jobs out.
4. With "Include full details" on, it fetches the job detail for each listing, 8 at a time, and adds the description, applicant data, screening questions, contacts and company profile.
5. It stops at "Max jobs per search", at the run's maximum cost, or shortly before the run timeout, and says which one in the status message.

Input

Field	What it does
Search keywords or SEEK URLs	Required. One search per line. Keywords such as nurse, or a URL such as https://www.seek.com.au/nurse-jobs/in-Sydney-NSW.
Country	AU or NZ for keyword searches. Country names such as New Zealand also work. Default AU.
Location	Where to search, as you would type it on SEEK. Empty means the whole country.
Classifications	Only jobs in these SEEK classifications. The start of a name is enough, for example Healthcare or Information.
Work types	full-time, part-time, contract, casual.
Work arrangement	on-site, hybrid, remote.
Listed within (days)	1, 3, 7, 14 or 31. any means no limit. Other numbers round up to the next of these.
Sort by	Relevance or newest first.
Include full details	On by default. One extra request per job, same price.
Max jobs per search	0 means all.
Proxy	Apify datacenter proxy by default.

Unknown filter values do not stop the run. The actor logs a warning that lists the valid values and carries on without that filter.

Example input, full time registered nurse jobs in Melbourne listed in the last 7 days:

  "workTypes": ["full-time"],
  "postedWithinDays": "7",
  "sortBy": "date",
  "maxResults": 200

    "https://www.seek.co.nz/software-developer-jobs/in-Auckland"

Fields from the search: id, url, title, company, advertiserId, companyProfileUrl, location, locationDetail, country, salary, workTypes, workArrangement, classification, subClassification and their IDs, listedAt, teaser, bulletPoints, isFeatured, logoUrl, searchQuery.

Fields added with details: description (plain text), descriptionHtml, status, isExpired, expiresAt, appliesOnSeek, isVerified, emails, phones, applicantCount, applicantVolume, screeningQuestions, companyIndustry, companySize, companyWebsite, companyRating, companyReviewCount.

Some fields are empty for good reasons. salary is empty when the employer did not publish a salary. Applicant count and screening questions exist only for jobs that take applications on SEEK; jobs that send you to the employer's own site return them empty. Company profile fields are empty when the employer has no SEEK company page. emails and phones only contain what the employer wrote into the ad.

Price

$2.00 per 1,000 jobs ($0.002 per job), details included. There is no start fee. You pay Apify platform usage on top, which for this actor is small: it runs at 1024 MB, needs no browser, and a test run of 700 jobs without details used about half a cent of compute.

You can cap the cost of a run with "Maximum cost per run" in the run options. The actor stops cleanly before it goes over and tells you how many jobs it collected.

FAQ

Does it need a SEEK account? No. It reads the same public data a logged-out visitor sees.

Why did I get fewer jobs than SEEK shows? SEEK serves about 550 results per search. Set "Max jobs per search" above 550 or leave it at 0 and the actor splits the search to get more. Very broad searches can still leave some jobs out, so narrow by location or classification if you need everything.

Can I scrape SEEK New Zealand? Yes. Set Country to NZ, or paste a seek.co.nz URL. One run can mix both countries when you use URLs.

Can I get only new jobs every day? Set "Listed within" to 1 and "Sort by" to newest first, then schedule the actor daily in Apify. Each run returns the jobs listed in the last 24 hours.

Does it return the salary? It returns the salary text exactly as SEEK shows it, for example $53 – $54 per hour. Many ads have no salary, and then the field is empty. The actor does not estimate salaries.

How accurate is the applicant count? It is the number SEEK shows on the job page at the time of the run. SEEK does not show it for every job, and not for jobs that link out to the employer's site.

Can I get jobs from other countries? SEEK runs Australia and New Zealand. For company career pages elsewhere, see the sister actors below.
