WorkIndia Candidate Scraper

Pull blue-collar and entry-level job-seeker profiles from WorkIndia — India's largest blue-collar hiring marketplace — at scale, complete with location, age, experience, education, English proficiency, match scores, and lead-qualification signals. Search by role and city, and the scraper returns clean, structured candidate rows ready for your sourcing pipeline. Built for recruiters, staffing agencies, and talent teams sourcing blue-collar and field workers across India who need a searchable talent-pool dataset without combing through candidate cards one at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Millions of blue-collar candidates across 750+ Indian cities — tap WorkIndia's nationwide pool of delivery, retail, driving, telecalling, and field-sales workers, from metros like Mumbai and Delhi to smaller towns, all from one search.
• Roles matched to 45 WorkIndia candidate categories — enter job titles like Delivery Executive, Telecaller, or Field Sales and each is mapped to WorkIndia's real candidate sectors (delivery, accounts, driver, retail, and 41 more) so your results are genuinely narrowed, not a generic city dump.
• Match scores on every candidate — a 0–100 profile-quality score on each row for fast shortlisting and prioritization.
• Hot-lead and urgency signals — a hot-lead classification tag plus an "actively looking urgently" flag surface the candidates most likely to respond.
• Activity recency built in — a last-seen date and resume-available flag tell you who is engaged right now versus a stale profile.
• English proficiency graded — every candidate carries a readable English level (No English, Thoda English, Good English, Fluent English) — critical for customer-facing and voice roles.
• Full experience and education fields — fresher-vs-experienced classification, previous job title, qualification (10th, 12th, graduate, diploma), and area within the city on each row.
• Three sort modes — order candidates by newest joined, most recently active, or nearest to the city center, so the freshest or closest talent surfaces first.
• Auto-normalized city names and forgiving filters — type "bangalore", "bombay", or "gurgaon" and they resolve to WorkIndia's canonical cities automatically; unrecognized roles widen the search instead of returning zero.

Getting Started

Search One Role in One City

The simplest run — a single role and city with default settings:

{
    "jobTitles": ["Delivery Executive"],
    "cities": ["mumbai"]
}

Multiple Roles Across Multiple Cities

Every role is matched to its WorkIndia categories and searched in every city:

{
    "jobTitles": ["Telecaller", "Field Sales"],
    "cities": ["mumbai", "delhi", "bangalore"],
    "sortBy": "active",
    "maxResults": 500
}

Advanced — Explicit Categories and Full Options

Add specific WorkIndia sectors on top of your job-title matches, sorted by nearest to the city center:

{
    "jobTitles": ["Delivery Executive"],
    "cities": ["bangalore", "pune", "hyderabad"],
    "industries": ["delivery", "driver", "field_sales"],
    "sortBy": "nearest",
    "maxResults": 1000
}

Input Reference

Search

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
jobTitles	array of strings	["Delivery Executive"]	Job roles you're hiring for (e.g. Delivery Executive, Telecaller, Field Sales). Each is matched to WorkIndia's candidate categories to find relevant workers. Add one or more.
cities	array of strings	["mumbai", "delhi"]	Cities to search in, for example "mumbai", "delhi", or "bangalore". Add one or more.
industries	array of strings	[]	Optional advanced override. Add specific WorkIndia sectors (e.g. "delivery", "field_sales", "retail", "driver", "telecalling") on top of whatever your job titles already match. Leave empty to search only the categories matched from your job titles.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
sortBy	string (select)	Newest — most recently joined	Order candidates by Newest — most recently joined, Most Active — recent activity first, or Nearest — closest to city center.
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of candidates to return. Set to 0 for unlimited (capped internally at a large safety ceiling to prevent runaway runs). Results fill from the first city onward until the cap is reached. WorkIndia returns at most 10,000 candidates per role-and-city search — add more cities or more specific roles to collect more.

Tips for Best Results

• Job titles map to categories, not exact titles — a broad role like "Delivery" or "Sales" widens the category match and returns more candidates, while a very specific phrasing narrows it. Start broad, then refine.
• Add cities to scale past the 10,000-per-search ceiling — each role-and-city search returns up to 10,000 candidates, so splitting across several cities is the reliable way to collect a larger pool.
• Results fill city by city, in order — the maxResults cap is filled from the first city onward, so with several cities the cap can be reached before later cities are searched. For an even spread across every city, run each city as its own task or raise maxResults.
• Use "Most Active" to reach responsive candidates — sorting by recent activity surfaces people who opened WorkIndia recently and are more likely to reply.
• Combine industries with jobTitles to widen a niche search — add explicit sectors like delivery or driver alongside your roles to pull in adjacent categories in one run.
• Type city names however you like — "bangalore", "bombay", "gurgaon", and "calcutta" all resolve automatically to WorkIndia's canonical city names.
• Filter your results on the resume and urgency flags — narrowing to candidates with hasResume: true and isLookingUrgently: true gives you the strongest sourcing shortlist.
• Set maxResults to 0 only when you truly want everything — for most sourcing runs a cap of 100–1,000 per role keeps results focused and fast.

Legal & Ethical Use

This scraper collects publicly available candidate profile data from WorkIndia for legitimate recruitment, sourcing, and market-research purposes. It does not unlock or deliver private contact details — the mobileNo field is empty on public profiles and is only populated by WorkIndia after you unlock a candidate inside your own employer plan; you engage candidates through WorkIndia's own platform. You are responsible for using the collected data in compliance with WorkIndia's terms of service, applicable data-protection and privacy laws (including India's data-protection regulations), and fair-hiring and anti-discrimination rules. Do not use this data to harass individuals, or for any unlawful or discriminatory purpose. Always handle personal data responsibly and lawfully.
