Job Core Details The `Job` field contains the foundational job posting information: - **Job ID** — Unique identifier assigned by Seek to each listing - **Job Title** — Official position title as posted - **Job Description** — Full HTML and plain-text job description - **Job Category** — Industry or functional classification (e.g., Engineering, Sales) - **Salary Range** — Advertised minimum and maximum compensation (if disclosed) - **Application Count** — Number of applications received (availability varies by visibility settings) #### 2. Company Profile Detailed employer information extracted from the company's Seek profile: - **Company Name** — Official legal or trading name - **Company Size** — Employee count bracket (small, medium, large enterprise) - **Company Industry** — Primary sector classification - **Company Description** — Company overview and mission statement - **Company Logo** — URL to company branding asset - **Company Location** — Headquarters or primary office address - **Company Rating** — Glassdoor-style ratings if available on Seek #### 3. Work Arrangements Employment structure and flexibility details: - **Employment Type** — Contract type (permanent, fixed-term, temporary, casual, contract) - **Work Schedule** — Hours classification (full-time, part-time, gig, flexible) - **Location Type** — Work mode (on-site, hybrid, remote) - **Job Level** — Seniority (entry-level, mid-level, senior, executive, C-suite) #### 4. Learning Insights Educational and skill development intelligence: - **Required Qualifications** — Degrees, certifications, or formal credentials demanded - **Desired Skills** — Preferred technical and soft skills - **Experience Required** — Years of experience threshold - **Training Provided** — On-the-job training or professional development mentions - **Career Growth Opportunities** — Advancement or learning pathway descriptions #### 5. GFJ Info Green Flag Job (GFJ) indicators — Seek's quality employment benchmarks: - **GFJ Status** — Whether the posting meets Seek's quality standards - **GFJ Indicators** — Specific positive attributes (e.g., transparent salary, flexible work, professional development) - **GFJ Score** — Numerical rating reflecting employment quality #### 6. SEO Info Search engine and content optimization metadata: - **Meta Title** — Page SEO title tag - **Meta Description** — Search engine snippet text - **Canonical URL** — Preferred URL version for indexing - **Page Headings** — H1, H2, H3 structure for accessibility and SEO - **Schema Markup** — Job Schema and Organization Schema data embedded in the page #### 7.

Company Tags Categorical labels and metadata about the employer: - **Industry Tags** — Sector classifications (e.g., Technology, Finance, Healthcare) - **Employer Size Tags** — Company magnitude indicators - **Culture Tags** — Workplace attributes (e.g., fast-paced, collaborative, innovation-focused) - **Special Programs** — Graduate schemes, apprenticeships, diversity initiatives *** ### How to Use the Scraper 1. **Identify job URLs** — Navigate to Seek.com, search or browse job listings, and open individual job detail pages. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. 2. **Prepare your URL list** — Paste one URL per line in the `urls` input field, or use the Bulk Edit feature to paste multiple URLs at once (separated by newlines or commas). 3. **Configure error handling** — Set `ignore_url_failures` to `true` if you're scraping 50+ URLs and want the run to continue despite occasional failures. Set to `false` if you need zero data loss. 4. **Start the scraper** — Click Run and monitor the progress in real-time. 5. **Download and process** — Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel once complete. **Best Practices:** - Test with 2–3 URLs first to validate output structure - Use `ignore_url_failures: true` for batch operations exceeding 100 URLs - Refresh URLs periodically — Seek listings expire or change location - Store metadata (date scraped, source URL) for audit trails and trend analysis **Common Issues:** - *No data returned* — Verify the URL is a job detail page, not a search results page - *Incomplete fields* — Some employers hide data (e.g., salary ranges, application counts); this is expected - *URL timeout* — If a URL fails, check the job posting is still active on Seek; deleted listings cannot be scraped *** ### Use Cases & Business Value **Recruitment Intelligence:** - Monitor competitor hiring strategies and job posting frequency - Identify emerging roles and skill demand trends - Build talent pipeline databases segmented by industry and location **Market Research:** - Analyze salary benchmarking data across Australian sectors - Track employment growth by industry, location, and company size - Study skills gaps and training demand **Job Aggregation:** - Power custom job boards and career platforms - Enrich job listings with standardized Seek metadata - Build recommendation engines based on learning insights and GFJ ratings **Academic & Policy Analysis:** - Research Australian labor market trends - Study employer behavior and hiring patterns - Identify regional employment disparities *** ### Conclusion The **Seek Jobs Details Scraper** transforms Australia's job market into structured data. With 8 comprehensive output categories spanning job core details, company profiles, work arrangements, and SEO metadata, it enables recruiters, researchers, and analysts to extract genuine market intelligence in minutes. Whether you're benchmarking compensation, analyzing hiring trends, or building a job aggregator, this scraper delivers the precision and scale that manual browsing cannot match. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Add the URLs of the Specific jobs urls you want to scrape.
