JobServe Jobs Scraper

Pull IT, engineering, and finance job listings from JobServe at scale — contractor day rates and permanent salaries, recruiter contacts, full descriptions, and direct apply links, across nine country markets in one run. Built for recruiters, staffing agencies, and job-market analysts who need JobServe's rich contract and IT market as clean, structured data without copy-pasting listings one page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Nine JobServe country markets in one actor — search the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the UAE, each on its own regional market, from a single input.
• 27 industry sectors to filter by — IT & Telecommunications, Finance/Accounting/Banking, Engineering, Mining/Energy/Oil & Gas, Legal, Healthcare, Construction, and 20 more, so you keep only the roles that matter.
• Contract day rates AND permanent salaries — day-rate-aware parsing captures "£900 - £1000pd" and "£475 p day" as a separate rate field while leaving annual salaries in salary, so contract and permanent pay never blur together.
• Recruiter contacts on every enriched job — turn on full detail and each row carries the recruitment agency name, its JobServe profile link, plus contact name, phone, and email where the advertiser provides them.
• Five posting-recency windows and eight search radii — filter down to jobs posted today (or in the last 1–7 days) and search within 1 to 100 miles of any town, city, county, or postcode.
• Advertiser and remote filters — split results by recruitment agency vs direct employer, or keep only remote / work-from-home roles.
• Paste-a-URL mode — drop any JobServe search or individual job URL straight in and the actor respects the filters already applied on the site, for advanced searches the fields don't cover.
• De-duplication by job reference — the same posting listed across several pages or repeated searches collapses to a single row, so you never pay twice for one job.

Input Reference

Search

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
keywords	string[]	["java developer"]	Job titles, skills, or keywords. Each keyword runs its own search. Leave empty to use URLs only.
location	string	"London"	Town, city, county, region, or postcode to search around (e.g. "Manchester", "EC1A 1BB"). Applied to every keyword.
country	string	"gb"	JobServe regional market: United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Switzerland, or United Arab Emirates.
distance	string	"50"	Search radius around the location: 1, 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 75, or 100 miles.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste full JobServe search or job URLs. Filters already applied on the site are respected. Mix with keyword search freely.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
jobType	string	"Any"	Permanent, Contract, Contract or Permanent, or Part-Time / Temporary / Seasonal.
industries	string[]	[]	Keep only these sectors — 27 options from IT & Telecommunications to Real Estate & Property. Empty means all industries.
postedSince	string	"Any time"	Only jobs posted Today, or in the Last 1, 2, 3, or 7 days.
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Keep only jobs advertised as remote or work-from-home.

Output & Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeDescription	boolean	false	Off for fast results. Turn on to fetch each job's full description, recruiter contact, reference, industry, and start date from its own page (slower on large searches).
onlyUniqueJobs	boolean	true	Return each job once even if it appears across several pages or searches. Turn off to keep every copy.
maxResults	integer	50	Cap on total jobs across all searches and URLs. Use 0 for unlimited. Results come a page at a time, so a small cap may return up to a full page more.

Output

Every job is one row. Cards come back fast with the core fields; turning on Fetch Full Job Details adds the description, recruiter, contacts, reference, and more from each job's own page.

Tips for Best Results

• Turn on Fetch Full Job Details for recruiter contacts and apply links. Fast mode returns the title, location, salary or rate, job type, and posted date; the reference, recruiter name, contact details, industry, start date, and apply link come only from each job's own page.
• Contractor day rates appear on contract roles. Set jobType to Contract and the rate field fills for roles priced per day or hour; permanent roles carry an annual figure in salary instead.
• Contact phone and email are advertiser-dependent. Agencies often publish a contact number and a working JobServe relay email; direct employers frequently don't — expect these fields on a meaningful share of enriched rows, not every one.
• Pick the market that matches your location. JobServe runs a separate market per country, so set country to the market your location and jobs belong to before searching.
• Give each keyword its own line. Every keyword runs a full search, so "java developer" and "scala developer" as two entries return two complete result sets in one run.
• Use the posted-date window for rate and demand tracking. Filtering to the last 1–3 days each day builds a clean time series of new postings without re-pulling stale listings.
• Keep De-duplication on for accurate counts. With onlyUniqueJobs on, a job repeated across pages or searches counts once — turn it off only when you deliberately want every copy.

Pricing

From $2.50 per 1,000 results — cheaper than the market's leading JobServe extractor while returning richer data. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.30	$0.29	$0.27	$0.25
1,000	$3.00	$2.85	$2.65	$2.50

100,000	$300.00	$285.00	$265.00	$250.00

A "result" is any job row in the output dataset. Platform fees (compute, storage) are additional and depend on your Apify plan.
