# Monitor job postings across several company career sites

**Use case:** 

Follow hiring at companies that use different career sites, in one dataset with the same fields. The task crawls each site, follows links to job pages and returns the schema.org JobPosting data they publish: title, company, location, employment type, posted date and full description. Schedule it to see postings appear and disappear.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://career.teamtailor.com/jobs"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://jobs.lever.co/palantir"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "crawl": true,
  "maxPagesPerCrawl": 100,
  "linkPattern": "career\\.teamtailor\\.com/jobs/[0-9]+-|jobs\\.lever\\.co/palantir/[0-9a-f-]{36}$",
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "company": {
    "label": "Company",
    "format": "text"
  },

## FAQ

### How do I add another company?

Add its career page to the start URLs of the career site job monitor task and extend linkPattern with the URL shape of its job pages, using | between alternatives.

### How do I see which jobs are new?

Schedule the career site job monitor task and compare the url field between runs: the task returns the postings live at run time and does not keep history itself.

### Why are some fields empty for some sites?

The career site job monitor task returns what each job page publishes in schema.org JobPosting markup, and invents nothing. A site that publishes no salary leaves the salary fields empty.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/rocketyard/jobposting-schema-scraper.md

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`).
