Tips for Best Results

Use Specific Keywords

• Use exact job titles (e.g., "Senior Developer" vs "developer") for targeted results

Set Reasonable Result Limits

• Start with 20-50 results for testing
• Increase to 200+ for production runs
• The max_pages cap prevents runaway pagination

Leverage Proxy Configuration

• Enable Apify Proxy for consistent, reliable extraction
• Residential proxies are recommended for best results

Combine with Scheduling

• Run daily or weekly to track new postings
• Monitor salary trends and hiring velocity over time
