Reed Job Scraper

What does Reed Jobs Scraper do?

Reed Jobs Scraper collects public job listings from Reed.co.uk and saves them as structured records for recruitment research, salary benchmarking, hiring intelligence, and job-market analysis. Enter a keyword and optional location, choose a posting-date filter, or provide a public Reed search URL. The Actor paginates through matching results and can include job descriptions when they are available.

Each record can include the job title, employer, location, salary range, currency, employment type, remote-working information, role taxonomy, posting dates, description text, and the direct job URL. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or JSONL, or connect it to an automated workflow in Apify.

Why use Reed Jobs Scraper?

• Hiring market research - Compare job volume, role categories, locations, and employment types across repeatable searches.
• Salary benchmarking - Analyze published salary text, minimum and maximum salary values, currency, and salary type by role or region.
• Employer targeting - Find companies actively hiring for specific skills, job families, or locations.
• Fresh job monitoring - Use posting-date filters and scheduled runs to track newly listed roles.
• Clean datasets - Empty values are removed, and repeated jobs are skipped when the same job appears across pages or overlapping searches.
• Workflow-ready exports - Download results or send them to Google Sheets, Airtable, webhooks, Make, Zapier, or your own application through the Apify API.

How to scrape Reed jobs

1. Open Reed Jobs Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a job keyword such as software engineer, and optionally add a location such as London.
3. Select a posting-date filter and set the maximum number of jobs and pages.
4. Alternatively, paste a public Reed search URL into startUrl.
5. Run the Actor, review the dataset preview, and download or connect the results.

Keyword and location searches are the simplest option. Use startUrl when you have already configured a Reed search with specific filters.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small limit - Run 20 results first and inspect the dataset before scaling up.
• Use focused searches - Combine a specific job title or skill with a location for a more targeted dataset.
• Use startUrl for prepared filters - A public Reed search URL can preserve filters configured on the source website.
• Set a sensible page cap - Increase max_pages for broad searches, but keep it aligned with the result limit.
• Expect source-dependent fields - Salary, employer references, descriptions, and workplace details are only available when Reed publishes them.
• Schedule repeat runs - Daily or weekly schedules can help monitor hiring demand and newly posted roles.
• Check the dataset preview - Confirm the query and output quality before creating a larger recurring run.

Integrations and Exports

• Google Sheets - Review and share job records in a spreadsheet.
• Airtable - Maintain a searchable hiring or employer database.
• Webhooks - Notify another service when a run finishes.
• Make and Zapier - Send new listings to alerts, dashboards, or internal workflows.
• Apify API - Start runs and read dataset items from your own application.
• JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and JSONL - Choose an export format for analysis, reporting, or data pipelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search Reed jobs by keyword and location?

Yes. Set keyword and optionally add location to build a Reed job search. You can also provide a prepared public search URL through startUrl.

Can I filter Reed jobs by posting date?

Yes. Use posted_date with anytime, today, last3days, last7days, or last14days.

How many jobs can I collect in one run?

Set results_wanted to the maximum number of records you need. The final count also depends on matching Reed listings and the max_pages limit.

Why are some output fields missing?

Reed does not publish every field for every job. Missing salary, employer, description, or workplace values usually reflect the source listing rather than a failed run.

Does the Actor remove duplicate jobs?

Yes. The Actor uses the Reed job ID or listing URL to avoid saving the same job more than once across result pages.

Can I schedule recurring Reed job searches?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to run the same keyword, location, URL, and date filter hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom interval.

Is collecting Reed job data legal?

Collecting public data may be subject to applicable laws, privacy requirements, and Reed terms. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully and handling job data responsibly.
