Why this scraper

Profesia.sk is the dominant job board in Slovakia, with local employer coverage that international aggregators miss. This actor uses lean Go HTTP — no browser launch, no Playwright, no Puppeteer — which means lower cost, faster runs, and no memory spikes. It covers all 8 Slovak administrative regions (kraje), correctly handles Slovak salary format (EUR/mesiac), surfaces the Profesia.sk company profile URL for each employer, and extracts the full company-info section including contact person and apply URL type — enabling employer-level aggregation and B2B lead generation.
