Jobs.ie Scraper - Ireland Job Listings & Companies

What does Jobs.ie Scraper do?

Jobs.ie Scraper extracts job listings from Jobs.ie, a general Irish job board covering vacancies across every sector and county. Give it a keyword and (optionally) a location, and it returns structured data for every matching job: title, company, salary (when disclosed), location, description snippet, posting date, expiry date, and a direct link to the advert. It reads the site's own server-rendered search data, so there is no login, no cookies, and no browser automation required.

Run it on the Apify platform to get Irish job market data via API, schedule recurring scrapes, and pipe results into tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Airtable, and Slack.

How to scrape Jobs.ie data

1. Go to the Jobs.ie Scraper on the Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the actor in the Apify Console.
3. Enter a search query (e.g. "accountant", "software developer", "nurse", "sales").
4. Optionally enter an Irish location (e.g. "dublin", "cork", "galway", "limerick"). Leave it empty to search all of Ireland.
5. Set the maximum number of results you want (default: 100).
6. You can leave the proxy configuration untouched — it defaults to a residential Irish proxy, which gets past Jobs.ie's Akamai bot protection reliably.
7. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
8. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab, or pull it via the Apify API.

Why use Jobs.ie Scraper?

• Irish salary benchmarking — where employers disclose a salary, compare pay across roles, sectors, and cities, and track how compensation shifts over time.
• Recruitment intelligence — see which companies are hiring, for what roles, and where. Spot hiring trends before your competitors do.
• Labour market analysis — understand demand across sectors and counties. Which areas have the most vacancies? Which roles are in shortest supply?
• Lead generation — find employers and recruitment agencies actively hiring to target with B2B services, tools, or staffing solutions.
• Job aggregation — feed structured Irish listings into your own job board, career site, or candidate-alert system.
• Academic and policy research — clean, structured data for labour economics, skills-gap studies, and workforce reports.

About Jobs.ie

Jobs.ie is a general Irish recruitment platform covering vacancies from employers and recruitment agencies across every sector — technology, healthcare, finance, accountancy, engineering, retail, hospitality, construction, and more. Key characteristics:

• Coverage: Nationwide Ireland, from Dublin to regional towns and counties, plus remote roles.
• Sectors: All major industries, from Accountancy and IT to Nursing, Construction, and Sales.
• Salary data: Many adverts show "Not Disclosed"; where a figure is given it appears as a range with a pay period (e.g. "€35,000 - €75,000 per annum").
• Work patterns: Full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and permanent roles.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchQuery	string	No	Job keyword to search for. Defaults to accountant if empty.
location	string	No	Irish location to filter by (e.g. dublin). Leave empty to search all of Ireland.
maxResults	integer	No	Maximum number of listings to scrape. Default 100.

Cost estimate

This actor is billed on Apify's Pay Per Result model. The site's search returns 25 jobs per page, so scraping is fast and lightweight — a typical run of a few hundred listings finishes in well under a minute of compute. You pay per job returned plus a small per-run start fee, so a run that returns 500 jobs costs roughly the price of 500 results. Check the actor's pricing tab for the exact current rate. 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.

Limitations and known issues

• Search results only — the actor reads the listing data embedded in the search pages (title, company, salary, location, snippet, dates, links). It does not open each advert to pull the full job description body. The descriptionSnippet field gives you the summary shown on the results page.
• Salary as advertised — many Irish listings show "Not Disclosed", in which case the salary field is null. Where a figure is given, it is exactly what the employer entered (a range with a pay period).
• Sponsored jobs — a small number of sponsored listings repeat across pages. The actor deduplicates by jobId, so you never get the same job twice.
• Ireland focus — Jobs.ie is an Irish job board distinct from IrishJobs.ie (a separate site we also scrape). The two boards carry overlapping but not identical vacancies, so run both if you need full market coverage.
• remoteOption and skills are currently often null — the search-results pages only expose them when the employer has tagged the listing that way. Don't build a pipeline that depends on them being populated.
• Location uses the site's own radius — a "dublin" search can include commuter-belt towns; filter the location field afterwards if you need strict city-only rows.
• Result ceiling — deep result sets are paginated; very large maxResults values will walk many pages. Keep maxResults reasonable for the query you actually need.

FAQ

Do I need a Jobs.ie account or API key? No. This actor reads the public search results. There is no login, no cookies, and no API key required.

Can I filter by salary, contract type, or county? The current version filters by keyword and location. Salary, location, and posting date are returned on every result so you can filter them yourself after scraping.

How is this different from your IrishJobs.ie scraper? IrishJobs.ie and Jobs.ie are separate Irish job boards with overlapping but distinct vacancy pools. Run both if you want the widest possible coverage of the Irish jobs market.

Is scraping Jobs.ie legal? This actor collects publicly available job listing data. You are responsible for using the data in line with the site's terms and applicable law. Do not use it to send unsolicited communications in breach of regulations.
