Zhaopin Scraper

Pull job listings from Zhaopin (智联招聘), one of China's largest recruitment platforms, at scale — job titles, hiring companies, salary bands, required experience, education, skill tags, welfare benefits, GPS-mapped work addresses, and HR recruiter contacts across 24 major Chinese cities. Built for recruiters, China-market talent sourcers, and labor-market analysts who need clean, structured Zhaopin data in English-readable rows without copying job cards by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• 24 major Chinese cities in one run — Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and 19 more, each a named dropdown choice; pick several and the actor searches every city and merges the results for you.
• Five native Zhaopin search facets — filter by monthly salary band (9 ranges from under ¥4,000 to over ¥50,000), years of experience (6 buckets), minimum education (from junior high to doctorate), and employment type (Full-time, Part-time, Internship, Campus recruitment).
• GPS coordinates plus the full work address — latitude, longitude, city, and district for every detail-enriched job, ready to plot on a map or match to a commute radius.
• HR recruiter name and title — the actual person handling each posting, straight from the job's own page, for direct outreach.
• Skill tags and welfare/benefit labels — the required skills and the perks each employer advertises (five-day week, meal allowance, stock options, and so on), captured as clean arrays.
• Company profile on every detailed job — company size, industry, and funding stage attached inline, no separate lookup.
• Optional email and phone extraction — pull contact emails and Chinese mobile/landline numbers straight out of job descriptions for lead generation.
• Up to 1,000 results per search, uncapped across cities — automatic per-city fan-out multiplies that ceiling so a nationwide keyword returns far more than a single search allows.
• Simplified-Chinese descriptions in clean UTF-8 — full job descriptions extracted with no garbled characters, ready for translation or analysis.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small, then scale — set maxResults to 20–50 on your first run to confirm the data matches your needs, then raise the cap.
• Get past the 1,000-per-search ceiling by adding cities — each Zhaopin search tops out at 1,000 results; selecting several cities runs one search each and merges them, so a broad keyword returns many times more.
• Leave includeDetails off for speed — the job card already carries title, company, city, salary, experience, education, and posted date. Turn details on only when you need descriptions, coordinates, benefits, or HR contacts.
• Combine experience and education facets to segment candidates — pairing, say, "3–5 years" with "Bachelor's" gives you a precise slice of the market for benchmarking or sourcing.
• Search in Chinese for the fullest coverage — Chinese keywords like 产品经理 or 销售 typically surface more postings than their English equivalents.
• Turn on extractContacts for lead generation — it works only when full details are on and pulls emails and phone numbers straight from the description when employers include them.
• Use pasted URLs for filters set on Zhaopin's own site — build a search on the website, copy the URL into startUrls, and the actor reproduces it exactly.

Pricing

From $1.70 per 1,000 results — pay only for the jobs you collect, with volume discounts as you scale. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold

100,000	$200.00	$190.00	$180.00	$170.00

A "result" is any job row in the output dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
