carriera.ch Scraper: Ticino & Italian-Swiss Jobs

Collect job listings from carriera.ch, the primary jobs portal for Canton Ticino and Italian-speaking Switzerland (Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno, Mendrisio, Chiasso, Balerna, Agno, Bioggio, and beyond). Returns structured data extracted from schema.org JobPosting JSON-LD on every detail page: title, company, city, posted date, expiry date, workload percentage, employment type, and the full Italian description in plain text, HTML, and Markdown.

What you get

Each result row contains:

• Job: title (Italian), URL, posted date (ISO 8601), expiry date, workload percentage (100%, 80%, 50%, etc.)
• Company: name, website, logo URL (when the employer supplies them via JSON-LD hiringOrganization)
• Location: city, region ("Svizzera italiana"), postal code, street address, country code CH
• Job details: employment type (Full-time / Part-time / Contract / Internship / Temporary), workplace type (Remote / Hybrid inferred from description)
• Apply URL: external employer link when the detail page anchors out to a company careers page
• Description: snippet (300 chars), plain text, HTML, and Markdown (when includeJobDetails=true)
• Contacts: emails, phones, and external URLs from the job description

A note on salary data

carriera.ch does not expose salary in its job listings. The site's JSON-LD template hardcodes baseSalary.value = 80000 on every job as a CMS placeholder, not actual employer-supplied pay data. All salary fields (salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, etc.) are returned as null. If you need CHF salary benchmarks, consider combining this actor with an LLM enrichment layer over the description text.

Use cases

• Ticino labour market research: track hiring trends across the Italian-speaking Swiss region
• Competitive intelligence: monitor which companies are actively hiring in Ticino
• Cross-border recruiting between Northern Italy (Como, Varese, Milano) and Ticino
• Lead generation for HR / staffing agencies serving the Italian-Swiss market
• Academic research: employment patterns in the multi-lingual Swiss economy

Pricing

This actor uses Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing. Every Apify account includes a $5 free monthly credit.

Event	Cost
Actor start	$0.001
SERP result (job card from the search page)	$0.003
Full job detail (description + JSON-LD structured fields)	$0.005

carriera.ch's SERP shows only date / company / title / city / workload. All the structured JobPosting data (employment type, location detail, apply URL, description) lives on the detail page. Keep includeJobDetails: true (default) for the full field surface; set to false for lightweight bulk collection at the lower rate.

Notes on data completeness

• Fields with high fill rate (>80%): title, company_name, city, location, posted_at_datetime, description_full, description_snippet, description_html, description_md -- all sourced from JSON-LD JobPosting.
• Fields with lower fill rate: company_website, company_logo_url, apply_url -- depend on whether the employer supplies a hiringOrganization.url/.logo or an outbound "Dettagli dell'annuncio" link.
• Fields always null: salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_period, salary_text (hardcoded CMS placeholder on the site -- see salary note above), company_size, company_profile_url, image_url, education_requirements, experience_requirements, qualifications, job_benefits, incentive_compensation, seniority (all boilerplate template values identical across every job on the site).
• Fields typically null: category (JSON-LD occupationalCategory is usually empty), company_industry (JSON-LD industry is usually empty), postal_code, street_address.
• Charset: carriera.ch serves ISO-8859-1. The scraper transcodes to UTF-8 before parsing so Italian accented characters (a, e, i, o, u with accents) render cleanly.
