Workday Job Scraper

What does Workday Job Scraper do?

Workday Job Scraper collects public job listings from Workday career sites and saves them as structured job data. Add one or more public Workday career URLs, optionally include a keyword in each URL, and set the result and page limits for the run.

The dataset can include job titles, companies, requisition IDs, locations, employment types, departments, posting dates, salary details, descriptions, responsibilities, qualifications, application links, and source URLs. Use the results for recruiting research, hiring intelligence, job market analysis, company monitoring, lead generation, or scheduled job data updates.

• Capture useful job detail - Collect descriptions, responsibilities, qualifications, compensation details, application links, and other published listing information when available.
• Support recurring workflows - Run on demand or schedule repeat collections for hiring trend reports, alerts, and job monitoring.

    }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 20,
  "max_pages": 20
}

Keyword-focused collection

Use a Workday search URL with a query term to collect matching roles.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday/?q=data+engineer&source=Careers_Website"
    }
  ],

    }
  ],

Tips for best results

• Use public URLs - Start with a live Workday career page or a valid Workday job listing URL.
• Keep keyword searches specific - Use terms such as data engineer, warehouse, or clinical research in the URL query.
• Validate with a small run - Start with results_wanted: 20 before increasing the result and page limits.
• Increase page limits for broad searches - A small max_pages value can limit the number of jobs collected from a large employer.
• Review the dataset preview - Confirm that the selected Workday site returns the fields and roles you need before scheduling the run.
• Expect source-dependent fields - Salary, remote status, department, and detailed requirements may be absent when the employer does not publish them.
• Use schedules for monitoring - Schedule repeat runs when you need new postings for a recruiting dashboard or alert workflow.

Integrations

• Google Sheets - Review hiring activity and compare roles across employers.
• Airtable - Maintain a searchable recruiting or company-monitoring database.
• Slack - Send notifications when a scheduled run produces new job records.
• Make or Zapier - Route job data to alerts, CRM systems, and other no-code workflows.
• Webhooks - Notify your own service when an Actor run completes.
• Apify API - Start runs and retrieve dataset items programmatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect jobs from more than one Workday employer?

Yes. Add multiple URL objects to startUrls. The Actor processes each unique URL and combines the records in the default dataset.

How do I search Workday jobs by keyword?

Add the keyword to the Workday URL query, commonly with q, for example ?q=software+engineer. The exact search behavior depends on the employer's Workday career site.

Can I provide a Workday job listing endpoint directly?

Yes. You can provide a public Workday landing page or a URL in the /wday/cxs/.../jobs format through startUrls.

Why are some output fields missing?

Workday employers publish different listing fields. The Actor omits values that are not available for a specific posting.

Why did the run return fewer records than results_wanted?

The source may have fewer matching jobs, or the URL and max_pages value may be too restrictive. Try a broader search URL or increase max_pages.

Can I schedule Workday job collection?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule for hourly, daily, weekly, or custom recurring runs.

Can I export Workday data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify dataset exports support CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other available formats.

Is collecting public Workday job data legal?

Public data collection may be subject to applicable laws, privacy requirements, and the terms of the source website. You are responsible for using the data lawfully and respecting each employer's published rules.
