Hirist Jobs Scraper & API: Recruiter Activity, Applicants

Hirist Jobs Scraper & API: Recruiter Activity, Applicants, Every Job of a Skill

Scrape Hirist jobs (hirist.tech, India's tech job board) to Excel, CSV or JSON without login, with the recruiter activity the job page shows. What sets it apart:

• Is the recruiter active? Does anyone read the applications? Every job comes with the numbers from its Hirist page: applications, views, recruiter actions (applications the recruiter has acted on; Hirist sells alerts about them in Hirist Pro), the recruiter's last active date, their Top Recruiter badges, and whether the job came from an ATS. Filter by recruiter active in the last N days, only recruiters who act on applications and max applicants (less competition). In our test of 100 jobs, recruiters of 73 had logged in within 3 days, only 26 had acted on any application, and the median job had 202 applicants.
• Every job of a skill, not only title matches. Hirist's search box matches job titles: "python" finds about 900 jobs. This Actor reads Hirist's skill tag: about 8,500 Python jobs (java 3,900 against 860, React.js 2,350). Other scrapers call the search box.
• The whole board, fast. No keyword = every job of the categories you pick or all ~27,000 Hirist jobs, read 1,000 a request (the whole board in under a minute). Newest first and Hirist's own posted within, city, remote and category filters, plus jobs for freshers (0 years).
• Company profile from AmbitionBox: rating, reviews, company type (Foreign MNC, Indian MNC, startup), employees in India, headquarters, benefits and ratings by job role. Filter by minimum company rating.
• Everything in one price: full description (not cut at 4,000 characters), must-have and nice-to-have skills, experience range, salary in lakhs per annum when shown, recruiter name and title, diversity flags. $1.20 per 1,000 jobs.
• Job alerts, no reposts. Schedule it and get only the jobs you have not seen.

How it works

Step	What happens
1. Listings	Each keyword: Hirist's skill tag when it has one (react → React.JS, data engineer → Data Engineering), otherwise the title search. No keyword: the categories, or all 12. Your links, recruiter profiles. Hirist applies city, remote and date filters itself; 1,000 jobs a request
2. Newest first	With Newest first or job alerts the Actor reads the whole listing and orders it by the posting time
3. Job pages	For each job: the Hirist job page data (recruiter activity, description, company profile)
4. Filters and clean-up	Experience, recruiter activity, applicants, rating, salary, title words, companies; closed jobs are dropped. Removed jobs, reposts (same title, company and cities) and jobs seen by a job alert are not charged

FAQ

What are recruiter actions? The number Hirist shows on each job page as "Recruiter actions": how many applications the recruiter has acted on. Together with the applications count it tells you whether the job is read at all: recruiterActionRate = actions / applications. Hirist Pro members get notified about them; here they are on every row.

What does "posted through a third-party tool" mean? Some companies send jobs to Hirist from their hiring software (an ATS). Hirist then shows no recruiter last active date; postedViaAts is true, and Skip jobs posted through an ATS removes them.

Why do I get more jobs than on the Hirist search page? Hirist's search box matches job titles. Hirist also tags every job with the skills it asks for, and the Actor reads that list: "python" returns every job that requires Python, not only jobs with Python in the title. Turn on Title must contain the keyword for title matches only.

Does Hirist show salaries? Only when the recruiter chooses to (about 6 in 100 jobs). The salary is in lakhs per annum (salaryMinLpa, salaryMaxLpa) and in rupees a year. Only jobs with a salary keeps those.

Which locations work? The names Hirist uses: Indian cities ("Bangalore", "Pune", "Hyderabad", "Gurgaon", "Noida", "Mumbai", "Chennai", "Kolkata"), states ("Karnataka", "Maharashtra"), "Delhi NCR" (Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad), "Remote" and Gulf and other countries ("Dubai", "Singapore", "US"). Common spellings are recognised (Bengaluru, Gurugram).

Do I need a Hirist account? No. Only job pages any visitor can open are read. Candidate data is not collected.

Is it legal?

The Actor reads public Hirist job pages that anyone can open without an account, as a visitor does. It does not log in or collect candidate profiles. Recruiter names and titles are shown on the public job pages; use such data according to the laws that apply to you (India's DPDP Act, GDPR and similar) and Hirist's terms.
