## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### What does Morgan McKinley Scraper do?

**Morgan McKinley Scraper** extracts job listings from [morganmckinley.com](https://www.morganmckinley.com), a global recruitment agency with a strong presence across Ireland and the UK covering hundreds of live vacancies in accounting, banking, technology, legal, HR, engineering, and more. Give it a keyword, a country (Ireland or UK), and optionally a location, and it returns structured data for every matching job: title, discipline, specialism, salary (when disclosed), contract type, assigned consultant and contact email, posting date, expiry date, and a direct apply link. It reads the site's own server-rendered job pages, so there is no login, no cookies, and no browser automation required.

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

### How to scrape Morgan McKinley data

1. Go to the Morgan McKinley Scraper on the Apify Store.
2. Click **Try for free** to open the actor in the Apify Console.
3. Pick a **Country**: Ireland or UK.
4. Enter a search query (e.g. "accountant", "credit manager", "software developer", "HR advisor"). Leave it empty to browse every live job in that country.
5. Optionally enter a lowercase location (e.g. "dublin", "cork", "london", "bristol"). Leave it empty to search nationwide.
6. Set the maximum number of results you want (default: 50).
7. Leave the proxy configuration on automatic (the default) -- Morgan McKinley has no anti-bot protection.
8. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
9. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab, or pull it via the Apify API.

### Why use Morgan McKinley Scraper?

- **Irish and UK salary benchmarking** -- compare advertised pay across roles, disciplines, and cities, with currency attached to every disclosed figure.
- **Recruitment intelligence** -- see which consultants and specialisms are active on which roles, and spot hiring trends at one of Ireland and the UK's established recruitment agencies.
- **Labour market analysis** -- understand demand across disciplines and regions in two closely linked markets. Which sectors are hiring? Which cities have the most vacancies?
- **Lead generation** -- Morgan McKinley job listings surface active hiring employers by discipline and region, useful for targeting B2B services, tools, or staffing solutions at companies currently recruiting.
- **Job aggregation** -- feed structured Irish and UK 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 Morgan McKinley

Morgan McKinley is a global recruitment and staffing group with an established Ireland and UK business, covering hundreds of live vacancies across professional sectors. Key characteristics:

- **Coverage**: Nationwide Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and more) and UK (London, Bristol, Manchester, and more), plus hybrid and remote roles.
- **Sectors**: Accounting & Finance, Banking & Financial Services, Business Support, Construction, Engineering, HR, Legal Risk & Compliance, Life Sciences, Sales & Marketing, Technology, Supply Chain & Procurement, and more -- the exact discipline list differs slightly between the Irish and UK sites.
- **Confidential employers**: Morgan McKinley is a recruitment agency, not a job board -- roles are posted under Morgan McKinley's own name with the actual hiring company kept confidential until a candidate applies. The scraper captures the assigned consultant and their contact email instead of a company name.
- **Salary data**: Some adverts show a specific range; many are marked "Competitive" and withhold the figure from candidates. This actor returns the advertised range only when Morgan McKinley itself discloses it publicly -- `salary` fields are `null` on "Competitive" listings rather than guessing.
- **Work patterns**: Full-time, part-time, permanent, and contract roles.

### Cost estimate

This actor is billed on Apify's Pay Per Result model. Each result costs one listing-page fetch (amortized across ~20 jobs/page) plus one detail-page fetch, so it's still fast and lightweight -- a typical run of 50-100 listings finishes in well under a minute of compute. You pay per job returned plus a small per-run start fee. Check the actor's pricing tab for the exact current rate. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED -- reading a mid-run dataset will show a cost far below the final total.

### Limitations and known issues

- **Employer names are usually not disclosed** -- Morgan McKinley keeps the underlying hiring company confidential on most listings. The `consultant` and `consultantEmail` fields identify who to contact instead of a `company` field.
- **Salary as advertised** -- when a listing is marked "Competitive" and the figure isn't shown to candidates, the `salary`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, and `currency` fields are all `null` rather than surfacing an internal estimate.
- **Ireland and UK only** -- this actor targets Morgan McKinley's `ie` and `uk` markets. Morgan McKinley also operates in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore; those are non-European and out of scope for this actor.
- **Location filter is exact-match** -- the `location` input must match the site's own county/city filter value (lowercase). Use a broad term like `dublin` or `london` rather than a specific street or postcode.
- **Discipline lists differ by country** -- Ireland's site groups jobs under disciplines like Construction, Engineering, and Life Sciences; the UK site instead has Technology and Supply Chain & Procurement. The scraped `discipline` and `specialism` fields reflect whatever Morgan McKinley tagged the listing with, so don't expect an identical set of values between countries.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Morgan McKinley account or API key?**
No. This actor reads Morgan McKinley's public job listing pages. There is no login, no cookies, and no API key required.

**Why don't I see a company/employer name?**
Morgan McKinley is a recruitment agency. Most listings are posted under Morgan McKinley's own name with the underlying employer kept confidential -- the actor returns the assigned consultant and their contact email instead.

**Why is the salary missing on some listings?**
Morgan McKinley marks some listings "Competitive" and doesn't disclose a figure to candidates. This actor only returns a salary when Morgan McKinley itself publishes one -- it never estimates or infers a hidden figure.

**Can I filter by discipline, contract type, or salary?**
The current version filters by keyword, country, and location. Discipline, specialism, contract type, and salary are returned on every result so you can filter them yourself after scraping.

**Is scraping morganmckinley.com 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.
