Hipo.ro Scraper - Romanian IT & Graduate Job Listings

What does Hipo.ro Scraper do?

Hipo.ro Scraper extracts job listings from Hipo.ro, Romania's dedicated careers board for IT, engineering, finance and graduate roles. It's the go-to site for students, recent graduates and young professionals, and for employers running campus recruiting and entry-to-mid level hiring campaigns. The scraper searches by keyword or job domain (IT, Engineering, Finance, Marketing, and 15+ other categories) and city, then returns structured data: job titles, companies, cities, domains, job type, job level, remote status, and posting dates.

Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, proxy rotation, webhook integrations, and monitoring out of the box. No login or cookies required -- all data is extracted from publicly available job listings.

Why use Hipo.ro Scraper?

• Graduate & early-career market research: Hipo.ro skews younger than general job boards like BestJobs or eJobs -- ideal for tracking internship, trainee and entry-level demand in Romania.
• Recruitment intelligence: Monitor which companies are running graduate programs, internships and management trainee schemes.
• IT talent market tracking: Hipo.ro's IT-Software domain alone carries 500+ live listings at any time -- track demand for specific tech stacks and roles.
• Salary & benefit benchmarking: Where salary is disclosed, extract it alongside job level and remote-work status.
• Job aggregation: Feed Hipo.ro listings into your own job board, aggregator platform, or HR dashboard.
• Lead generation: Identify actively hiring Romanian companies for B2B outreach, recruitment services, or employer-branding pitches.
• Academic research: Study graduate employment trends and entry-level labor market dynamics in Romania.

How to scrape hipo.ro data

1. Go to the Hipo.ro Scraper page on Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the Actor in Apify Console.
3. Enter your search keyword (e.g. "programator", "contabil", "inginer", or any Romanian/English job title) -- the scraper maps it to the closest matching Hipo.ro job domain.
4. Or pick a Domain / Category directly (IT / Software, Engineering, Accounting / Finance, Marketing, Internship, and 15+ more) and optionally a City.
5. Set the maximum number of results you want.
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.

How much does it cost to scrape Hipo.ro?

The Hipo.ro Scraper is a lightweight HTTP scraper (no headless browser required) -- Hipo.ro renders its job listings server-side, so plain HTTP requests are enough for reliable extraction. It's billed pay-per-result: $0.005 per run start plus $0.002 per result. A 100-listing run costs about $0.21; a 1,000-listing run about $2.01. Enabling includeDetails adds one extra request per job (for the full description), so cost scales with page count rather than just item count. A run's usage cost only settles in your Apify billing after the run reports SUCCEEDED -- reading the dataset mid-run will undercount what you're actually charged.

Tips and advanced options

• Use Romanian keywords for broader results -- most listings are in Romanian only (e.g. "programator" instead of "programmer", "inginer" instead of "engineer", "contabil" instead of "accountant").
• Enable includeDetails only when you need full job descriptions, job level or remote-work status. It's slower because it visits each job page individually.
• Set maxResults to control costs. Start small (10-50) to verify the output, then scale up.
• Domain filtering covers 20 Hipo.ro categories: IT / Software, IT / Hardware, Engineering, Accounting / Finance, Marketing, Sales, Internship, Management Trainee, Customer Support, HR, Legal, Production, Procurement / Logistics, Pharma / Medical, Education, Construction, Banking, Internet / eCommerce, Media / Journalism, Hotels / Restaurants.
• City filtering supports all major Romanian cities: Bucuresti, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Iasi, Constanta, Brasov, Craiova, Galati, Oradea, Ploiesti, Sibiu, Arad, Pitesti, Bacau and more.
• Schedule runs to track new graduate and IT job listings daily or weekly using Apify's built-in scheduler.
• Combine with other scrapers to build a comprehensive Romanian job market dataset -- check our eJobs.ro scraper for the broader general job market alongside Hipo.ro's graduate and IT focus.

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape Hipo.ro?

This scraper extracts only publicly available job listing data that any visitor can see without logging in. It does not access private data, bypass authentication, or violate GDPR. Always review the website's Terms of Service before large-scale scraping and ensure your use case complies with applicable Romanian and EU laws.

The scraper returns 0 results

• Make sure your search query or domain matches actual job listings currently live on Hipo.ro.
• Try a broader domain, or remove the city filter.
• Hipo.ro occasionally runs scheduled maintenance windows during which the whole site returns a "momentan indisponibil" (temporarily unavailable) notice with an HTTP 200 status -- this is a site outage, not a block. The scraper detects this page and fails clearly rather than silently returning empty data; simply retry once the site is back.

Can I get custom modifications?

Yes. If you need additional fields, different output formats, or integration with your systems, open an issue in the Issues tab or contact us for a custom solution.

How often should I run this scraper?

Hipo.ro updates listings continuously. For most use cases, running once daily or weekly is sufficient. Use Apify's scheduler to automate recurring runs.
