What Is BestJobs.eu?

BestJobs.eu is one of Eastern Europe's prominent job platforms, connecting employers with candidates across a wide range of industries. Its search pages aggregate listings by keyword, category, and location — making it a valuable source for labor market intelligence. Manually collecting this data is impractical at scale; the BestJobs.eu Jobs Search Scraper automates extraction from any search results page.

Overview

The BestJobs Jobs Scraper targets search result pages and extracts structured records for every listing returned. It is suited for:

• Recruiters monitoring job market activity by category or region
• HR analysts benchmarking salaries and application trends
• Developers feeding data into aggregator platforms or dashboards
• Researchers studying hiring patterns in Eastern European markets

The scraper supports bulk URL input, configurable item limits, and fault-tolerant runs via ignore_url_failures.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with the following fields:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.bestjobs.eu/en/jobs/audit?_lat=20.654682&_lon=106.057849"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	—	One or more BestJobs.eu search result page URLs. Can be added one by one or via bulk edit.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running even if some URLs fail, rather than stopping the entire run.
max_items_per_url	integer	20	Maximum number of job listings to collect per URL. Increase for deeper result sets.

Tip: Build search URLs directly on BestJobs.eu using filters (keyword, location, category), then paste the resulting URL. The _lat / _lon parameters in the URL enable location-based filtering.

How to Use

1. Build your search URL — Search on BestJobs.eu using keywords and location filters. Copy the URL from the browser (e.g., https://www.bestjobs.eu/en/jobs/audit?_lat=...).
2. Configure input — Add URLs to the urls array. Set max_items_per_url based on how many results you need.
3. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log.
4. Export results — Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or integration.

Common issues:

• Ensure URLs point to search result pages, not individual job detail pages.
• For large result sets, increase max_items_per_url up to the number of results shown on the page.
• Enable ignore_url_failures: true for multi-URL runs to prevent a single bad URL from stopping the job.
