## 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

## Workday Jobs API with Visa Sponsorship Evidence

Get the open jobs of **any company's Workday careers site** as clean JSON, and see which employers actually sponsor visas. Every job is tagged from its ad text **and** backed by official evidence about the employer:

- **Visa sponsorship tag** from the ad: `offered`, `refused`, `mixed` or `not_mentioned`, **with the exact sentence** the tag is based on.
- **US evidence:** the employer's certified **H-1B filings** from the U.S. Department of Labor (count, top job titles, median annual wage, top states).
- **UK evidence:** whether the employer is on the Home Office **Register of Licensed Sponsors** (routes and rating).
- **Relocation support** and **remote regions**, again with the sentence.

Built for visa-seeking job hunters, recruiters and relocation services, n8n and Make workflows, and AI agents that need to answer **"does this company really hire people from abroad?"**

### Why it's different

Ads that mention "visa sponsorship" mostly *refuse* it, and ads that say nothing often come from employers that file hundreds of H-1B petitions a year. Other Workday scrapers give you the ad text only. This Actor gives you both the ad-text tag and the **official record of the employer**, so you can rank jobs by how likely the company is to sponsor.

### How to find a company's Workday URL

Open the company's careers page and click through to the job list. The address contains **`myworkdayjobs.com`**, for example `https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`. Paste that address into `companies`. You can also paste the careers page itself and the first Workday link on it is found for you.

### What you can put in

| You have | Put this in `companies` |
|---|---|
| A Workday careers-site link | `https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite` (a locale like `/en-US/` or a `/job/...` tail is fine) |
| A myworkdaysite link | `https://wd3.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/sanofi/SanofiCareers` |
| The short form | `nvidia\|wd5\|NVIDIAExternalCareerSite` |
| A company careers page | `https://www.example.com/careers`: the Workday link on the page is found for you |

Then narrow it down with any of these:

- **Keywords:** sent to Workday's search and matched against the title.
- **Locations** (for example `London`, `Warsaw`, `Remote`) and **countries** (`United States`, `Poland`).
- **Remote only.**
- **Posted within N days.**
- **Visa filter:** `offered` keeps ads that offer sponsorship; `not_refused` drops ads that rule it out.
- **Sponsor filter:** keep only employers with US H-1B filings, a UK sponsor licence, or either.
- **Legal company names:** optional `companyNames` maps an entry to the legal name, to improve matching.
- **Limits:** a maximum per company and a maximum in total.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "companies": ["https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite"],
  "keywords": ["engineer"],
  "countries": ["United States"],
  "sponsorFilter": "either",

}
```

**Field notes**

- **The evidence describes the employer, not the specific job.** An employer with many H-1B filings may still not sponsor for a given role; the ad tag tells you what this ad says.
- **`match`:** `exact` means the normalised company name is identical. `prefix` means only the first words matched (for example a subsidiary or a differently named entity), so treat it as a lead, not proof. Add `companyNames` to steer the match.
- **`company`** is the Workday tenant name unless you give a legal name in `companyNames`; **`employerEntity`** is the hiring entity named in the posting.
- **`medianAnnualWage`** is the median of the wages on the employer's certified H-1B filings (USD per year; hourly, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly rates are converted).
- **`remoteRegions`** is only filled in for remote jobs. **`workplaceType`** comes from the location and title.
- **Run summary:** the run's key-value store has a `SUMMARY` record listing each company: jobs found, matched and saved, any that couldn't be found, and whether the UK register came from the live download or the bundled snapshot.

### The 2000-job cap

Workday lists at most **2000 jobs per search**. If a company has more, the run logs a notice; narrow the search with keywords, locations or countries to see the rest.

### Daily monitoring: pay only for new jobs

Turn on **Only new jobs** and schedule the Actor daily. It remembers which jobs it has already returned (per **monitor name**, or per exact input), so after the first run you only get, and only pay for, new postings. Each new job has `"isNew": true`.

### Pricing

Pay per event: you pay only for jobs you receive.

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Job, with visa tags and sponsor evidence included | **$3.00 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.003 each) |

Companies that can't be found and jobs that don't match your filters cost nothing. Runs stop cleanly at your spending limit.

### Data sources and compliance

- **Workday careers sites:** the public JSON a company's own careers page loads. No logins, no applications submitted, a polite request rate (at most 2 concurrent requests per company) and backoff on rate limits.
- **U.S. Department of Labor, OFLC disclosure data** (LCA, FY2025): U.S. federal government work in the public domain. Only employer-level totals are kept.
- **UK Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors: Workers**, downloaded live on each run. Contains public sector information licensed under the [Open Government Licence v3.0](https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).
- **No personal data:** only employer ads and employer-level statistics. No candidate or recruiter data is collected, and email addresses inside descriptions are replaced with `[email removed]`.

### FAQ

**How accurate are the visa tags?**
They are rule-based and conservative, so every tag comes with its evidence sentence. Ads that say nothing are `not_mentioned`, not "no". Treat `offered` as a strong lead and still confirm with the employer.

**Does a company with H-1B filings sponsor for every job?**
No. The filings show the employer sponsors in general. Check the ad tag and ask the employer about the specific role.

**A company isn't found.**
Paste the Workday careers-site address (it contains `myworkdayjobs.com`) instead of the company name.

**Can I use it from an AI agent or over MCP?**
Yes. It's a standard Apify Actor, so any Apify client, the Apify API or Apify's MCP server can call it.

### Maintainer notes

The bundled sponsor data is rebuilt offline with `tools/build_sponsor_index.py` (needs `pip install -r tools/requirements.txt`):

- **US H-1B index, quarterly** (when DOL publishes a new Q4 or full-year file):
  `python tools/build_sponsor_index.py us LCA_Disclosure_Data_FY2025_Q4.xlsx --fy FY2025`
- **UK snapshot, monthly** (fallback used only when the live download fails):
  `python tools/build_sponsor_index.py uk <downloaded register>.csv --date YYYY-MM-DD`

Both write into `workday_jobs/data/`; commit the results. `tests/capture_fixtures.py` re-captures the test fixtures.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

One per line. Any of: a Workday careers-site URL (https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite; a locale like /en-US/ or a /job/... tail is fine), a myworkdaysite URL (https://wd3.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/sanofi/SanofiCareers), the short form tenant|wd5|site, or a company careers page URL (the first Workday link on it is used). To find a company's Workday URL, open its careers page; the address contains myworkdayjobs.com.

## `companyNames` (type: `object`):

Maps an entry from the list above to the company's legal name, used to match the H-1B and UK sponsor records, e.g. {"https://acme.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Careers": "Acme Holdings Inc"}.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose title contains any of these words or phrases (case-insensitive, whole words). Also sent to Workday's own search. Leave empty for all jobs.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose location contains any of these (case-insensitive), e.g. "London", "Warsaw", "Remote". Leave empty for all locations.

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs in these countries, e.g. "United States", "Poland" (matched against Workday's country name).

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs whose location or title says remote.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep jobs posted in the last N days. 0 = no limit.

## `visaFilter` (type: `string`):

Filter on what the job ad says: offered = sponsorship offered (or mixed), not_refused = drop ads that refuse sponsorship.

## `sponsorEvidence` (type: `boolean`):

Match each employer against US H-1B filings (DOL) and the UK Register of Licensed Sponsors. The evidence describes the employer, not the specific job.

## `sponsorFilter` (type: `string`):

Keep only jobs whose employer has US H-1B filings, a UK sponsor licence, or either. Anything other than Any turns the evidence on.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Turn off for smaller output; the visa tags are still computed.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Workday lists at most 2000 jobs per search; narrow with keywords to see the rest.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many jobs across all companies. 0 = no limit.

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

Save only jobs not seen in earlier runs with the same settings, so scheduled runs pay for new jobs only. The first run counts every job as new.

## `monitorName` (type: `string`):

Optional. Runs with the same name share one memory of seen jobs, even if other settings change.
