Gi Group Scraper — Multi-Country

Extract job listings from Gi Group, one of Europe's largest staffing agencies, as clean structured JSON — across 17 European markets from a single actor. Pick a country, search by keyword, and get job titles, location, industry, contract type, posting date and a description excerpt.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. Gi Group runs the same WordPress job-search platform on every country site this actor covers, and this actor talks to it directly over plain HTTP.

What this actor does

Gi Group — founded in Italy, now present in dozens of countries — runs a shared job-search plugin on a separate marketing site per market ({country-code}.gigroup.com, with Italy as the exception at www.gigroup.it). Every one of the 17 markets below accepts the exact same query parameters (job for keyword, placeOfWork for location, npage for pagination) and renders server-side HTML, so no JavaScript execution is needed.

For each job this actor returns:

• Job title, Gi Group's internal "codified role", industry and professional area
• Location (province/region) and, where disclosed, work mode (on-site/remote)
• Contract type and shift tags
• Posting date — either exact (where Gi Group discloses one) or a best-effort estimate (see Limitations)
• A description excerpt (up to 600 characters)
• Gi Group's own detail-page URL and application link

All 17 were verified live in August 2026 against real, current listings before shipping. Smaller markets (Switzerland, Norway, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Croatia) genuinely carry far fewer live postings than Italy or France at any given time — that's Gi Group's real listing volume there, not a scraping gap.

Four markets were investigated and deliberately left out:

• Germany and Denmark run on a completely different vendor platform (a Talention React widget at jobs.gigroup.de, with its own API), not the WordPress plugin every market above shares. Covering them would need a separate build.
• Ireland's listed domain (ei.gigroup.com) does not resolve (DNS NXDOMAIN) — dead, despite still appearing in Gi Group's own country switcher.
• Belgium's job-search page (be.gigroup.com/current-vacancies/) returns HTTP 404 even though the page content renders — broken on Gi Group's own site, not something this actor can work around.
• Finland does not appear in Gi Group's country switcher at all and its domain doesn't resolve — Gi Group does not appear to operate a Finnish market site.

Why use it

• Pan-European staffing market research — track what roles Gi Group is placing across 17 markets from one tool instead of 17.
• Recruitment and sourcing — build a live feed of temp and permanent positions for a role, industry or region.
• Market-entry and workforce planning — see which sectors and locations a major staffing agency is actively hiring for, market by market.

How to scrape Gi Group data

1. Open the actor and pick a Country (e.g. FR for France).
2. Set a Search Query in the local language (e.g. magazziniere for Italy, comptable for France, almacen for Spain, magazynier for Poland, warehouse for the UK). Leave it empty to get all current listings for the selected country.
3. Optionally set a Location filter to narrow results to a city or region.
4. Set Max Results — each result triggers one extra request to fetch its full description, so keep this proportional to how much detail you need. Remember that smaller markets may have far fewer live listings than your cap.
5. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting (Gi Group showed no anti-bot protection during testing) and click Start.

The actor pages through Gi Group's job-search HTML (roughly 20 results per page) until it reaches your Max Results or runs out of listings, fetches the detail page for each selected job to pull the full description and posting date, and writes everything to the dataset.

Cost estimate

Each run makes one listing-page request per ~20 results plus one detail-page request per result. Both are lightweight HTML requests over the automatic Apify proxy — no browser, no residential proxy needed. Usage is only charged after a run finishes with status SUCCEEDED — a failed or aborted run doesn't bill for partial results.

Limitations

• Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium and Finland are not covered — see "Supported countries" above for why each was dropped.
• postedAt is best-effort. Gi Group runs two different page templates across its markets. Some (UK, Croatia, Czech Republic, Norway, Slovakia, ...) show an exact date; others (Italy, France, Spain, Poland, ...) only show a localized relative string like "32 days ago" or "posted today" — for those, postedAt is computed by subtracting that number of days from the scrape time, so it can be off by up to a day. postedAtRaw always keeps the original text so nothing is silently lost.
• workMode and employmentType are not disclosed on every market. A handful of markets (UK, Croatia, Czech Republic, ...) don't show a work-mode icon or a structured contract-type chip on their listings at all — those fields are left empty rather than guessed.
• Location filtering depends on Gi Group's own search. Results are only as good as what Gi Group's placeOfWork parameter matches.
• Smaller markets have genuinely few live listings. Switzerland, Norway, Luxembourg, Bulgaria and Croatia typically show single digits to low tens of open roles at any time — that reflects Gi Group's real presence there.
