Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Seek Job Scraper Turn any Seek search into a clean, structured dataset. Search by keyword, category, and location across all eight Seek sites, then get the full job details for every result: salary, work type, company profile, listing dates, the complete description, and recruiter contact details like emails and phone numbers. Perfect for recruiters, job boards, market researchers, and lead generation teams. ### How it works ![How it works](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/b8sto9etBFehbJhcC/records/how-it-works-v2.png) 1. Tell the scraper what to look for: a keyword, one or more categories, a location, or a full Seek search URL. 2. Pick a country site (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, or Hong Kong). 3. Run it. Every matching job comes back with full details and contact information, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### ✨ Why teams choose this over other Seek scrapers - 🌏 **All eight Seek sites in one actor.** Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Hong Kong, switched with a single dropdown. Most scrapers only cover Australia. - 📇 **Recruiter contacts, extracted for you.** Every job is scanned for emails and phone numbers, and you can keep only the listings that have them. Built for lead generation, not just job tracking. - 🏢 **Rich company profiles.** Beyond the job, you get the employer's industry, size, website, perks, and logo when available, so you understand who is hiring. - 🎯 **Simple, fast setup.** One clean category picker instead of hundreds of checkboxes. You are running in under a minute. - 🛟 **Never loses a job.** If full detail is briefly unavailable for a listing, the job is still returned with its core information instead of being silently dropped. You get complete result sets, every run. - 💸 **Pay only for results.** No monthly fee and no compute charges. You pay per job returned, and proxies are included. ### 🎯 What you can do with Seek data | Team | What they build | | --- | --- | | Recruiters & agencies | Lead lists of hiring companies with direct recruiter emails and phone numbers | | Job boards & aggregators | Fresh, structured listings to fill and refresh their own catalog | | Market researchers | Salary benchmarks, hiring trends, and demand signals by category and region | | Sales teams | Prospect lists of companies that are actively growing and hiring | | HR & talent analytics | Competitor hiring tracking and workforce planning insights | | Staffing platforms | Automated vacancy monitoring across multiple countries | ### 📥 Input parameters | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | Search keyword | Job title or keyword, e.g. "registered nurse" | | Categories | One or more Seek job categories | | Country site | Which of the eight Seek country sites to search | | Location | City, suburb, or region | | Radius | Distance around the location, in kilometers | | Work type | Full time, part time, contract, or casual | | Work arrangement | On-site, hybrid, or remote | | Minimum / maximum salary | Salary range to include | | Posted within | Only jobs posted in the last N days | | Sort by | Relevance or newest first | | Only jobs with an email / phone | Keep only listings that include contact details | | Estimate missing salaries | Find a salary mentioned in the description when none is shown | | Maximum results | How many jobs to return | | Full Seek search URL | Paste a Seek results URL to reuse an exact search | ### 📊 Output data Each job is returned as a structured record.

Schedule runs to keep your data fresh automatically. ### 📈 Performance Runs are fast and dependable. A typical search returns full details for every job with a high enrichment rate, and results stream to the dataset as they are collected. Increase the maximum results to pull larger batches in a single run. ### 💡 Tips for best results - Use a location like `All Sydney NSW` or `Melbourne VIC` to match Seek's own location naming. - Combine a category with a keyword to focus results, for example Healthcare & Medical plus "aged care". - Turn on "Only jobs with an email" to build clean lead lists in one pass. - Use "Newest first" to monitor fresh postings on a schedule. - Paste a full Seek search URL to reproduce an advanced search exactly. ### ❓ FAQ **Which countries are supported?** Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Hong Kong. **Can I get recruiter contact details?** Yes. Emails and phone numbers are extracted from each listing when present, and you can filter to only jobs that include them. **Do I need a login or account?** No. You only need this actor. Proxies are included. **What formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, and Excel, plus direct API access. **How do I limit costs?** Set the maximum results to control exactly how many jobs each run returns. ### 📬 Support This scraper is actively maintained and kept current with Seek.
