💼 SEEK Job Scraper

Extract detailed, structured job listings from SEEK and its sister marketplaces — JobStreet (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore) and JobsDB (Hong Kong, Thailand) — in one clean run. Search by keyword, location and category, or paste a full SEEK search URL, and get back rich JSON for every job: salary, full description, company profile, location, employer questions, emails and phone numbers.

Perfect for lead generation, recruitment market research, salary benchmarking and job-board aggregation.

✨ Why Choose This Actor?

• 🌏 8 marketplaces, one Actor — SEEK AU/NZ, JobStreet ID/MY/PH/SG, JobsDB HK/TH.
• 🗂️ 390+ category filters — toggle a whole industry or drill into a single subclass.
• 🔗 Paste-a-URL mode — copy any SEEK search results URL and the Actor honours every filter encoded in it.
• 🏢 Company enrichment — overview, industry, size, website, star rating, review count and perks.
• 📧 Contact extraction — emails and phone numbers pulled straight from the listing body.
• 🛡️ Smart, cost-efficient networking — starts with no proxy and only upgrades (datacenter → residential) if SEEK pushes back.
• 💾 Live results — jobs stream into the dataset as they are scraped; a partial run still keeps its data.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event billing — you are charged per job result saved to the dataset, plus a small Actor-start fee. You only pay for jobs you actually receive.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a SEEK login? No. Everything works anonymously. A cookie is only needed for applicant-count stats.

Why are some company fields empty? SEEK only publishes a company microsite for employers who set one up; private advertisers have none.

Will it get blocked? The Actor starts direct and automatically upgrades to datacenter then residential proxies if SEEK rate-limits, so runs stay reliable.
