JobScout24.ch Scraper

Pull job listings from JobScout24.ch, one of Switzerland's largest job boards, at scale — titles, employers, canton-level locations, exact Pensum workload percentages, contract types, and full descriptions across the whole Swiss market. Search multiple keywords in one run, narrow by region, category, and workload, and get one clean row per posting. Built for Swiss recruiters, labour-market researchers, and relocation and talent-mapping teams who need structured Swiss job data without copy-pasting listings one page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Trilingual output — English, German, and French — pull the same Swiss market in en, de, or fr, matching how each posting was written and how your team reads it.
• 13 named Swiss regions — filter by canton groups like North West Switzerland (AG / BL / BS / SO), Zurich region, Lake Geneva region, Ticino, or Home Office / Remote Work — the most reliable way to sweep an area.
• 23 professional categories (Berufsgruppen) — from IT and Banking / Financial Services to Watch / Optical Industries and Trustee / Law / Tax / Consulting, so you collect only the field you care about.
• Exact Pensum workload percentages — every job carries workloadMin and workloadMax (e.g. 80–100%), plus a min–max range filter to isolate part-time or full-time roles precisely.
• 6 contract types — permanent, temporary, internship, freelance, part-time, and apprenticeship (Lehrstelle) openings, selectable individually.
• Canton-level geography — every row resolves to a Swiss canton (canton), not just a city string, for clean regional roll-ups.
• Full job descriptions on every posting — the complete description text is pulled from each job's own detail page, not just the search-result snippet.
• Multi-keyword batch searches — queue up to 50 keywords in a single run; results are merged and de-duplicated automatically across overlapping searches.
• Fresh-listing windows — restrict to jobs published in the last 24 hours, 3 days, week, or 30 days to monitor only what is genuinely new.

Tips for Best Results

• Leave the keyword empty and set a region to sweep every fresh job across a canton group — the region filter is the most reliable geographic net on JobScout24.ch.
• Use the Last 24 hours window for daily new-listing monitoring; run the same input on a schedule to catch only what changed overnight.
• Match language to the region you target — German (de) for Zurich and Central Switzerland, French (fr) for the Lake Geneva region and Romandie — so titles and descriptions come back in the local language.
• Set workloadMin and workloadMax together to isolate true part-time roles (e.g. 40–60%) or full-time only (80–100%) rather than filtering after export.
• Keep Fetch Full Job Details on for complete description text and canton resolution; turn it off only when you need a fast headcount of matching titles.
• Apprenticeship (Lehrstelle) is a distinct search mode — select it alone to collect early-talent openings; it cannot be combined with the other contract types.
• Queue several related keywords in one run (e.g. "Sachbearbeiter", "Kundenberater") — overlapping results are de-duplicated automatically, so you never pay twice for the same posting.
