Can I filter by employment type?

Yes. Use employmentType with one of the supported values shown in Input Parameters.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule recurring runs in Apify and export results to your preferred destination.

What does max_pages control?

It controls collection depth, helping you balance speed and coverage.
