Robert Half Scraper — Multi-Country

Extract job listings from Robert Half, a leading specialized staffing agency for finance, accounting, technology, legal, admin and HR roles, as clean structured JSON — across six European markets from a single actor. Pick a country, search by keyword, and get job titles, locations, salary, worksite, employment type and full descriptions.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. Robert Half's job listing pages are fully server-rendered, so this actor reads the same HTML a browser would — no hidden API to reverse-engineer, no JavaScript execution needed.

What this actor does

Robert Half runs one global platform at roberthalf.com with a locale path per market (gb/en, de/de, fr/fr, nl/nl, be/en, be/fr, be/nl, ch/de, ch/fr, ch/en). This actor requests your chosen country's job search page directly and returns one row per job with:

• Job title
• Location (as posted)
• Worksite (remote / hybrid / onsite, where disclosed)
• Employment type (Permanent, Contract, etc.)
• Salary — min, max, currency and period, when disclosed
• A 300–400 character description excerpt (already present on the listing page — no separate detail-page request needed)
• Robert Half's own job detail page URL

Supported countries

Input value	Market
GB	United Kingdom — default
DE	Germany
FR	France
NL	Netherlands
BE-en	Belgium (English)
BE-fr	Belgium (French)
BE-nl	Belgium (Dutch)
CH-de	Switzerland (German)
CH-fr	Switzerland (French)
CH-en	Switzerland (English)

Ireland was checked and excluded: roberthalf.com/ie/en is a stub market page (salary guide and insights content only) with no job listings section — confirmed via the sitemap and by testing every plausible jobs-page URL. All ten market/language combinations above were verified live against real, current listings before shipping.

Why use it

• Pan-European staffing market research — track what roles Robert Half is placing across six countries from one tool instead of six.
• Recruitment and sourcing — build a live feed of contract and permanent finance, tech, legal and admin positions for a role or region.
• Salary benchmarking — a large share of listings disclose a salary range, currency and pay period.
• Competitive intelligence for staffing/recruitment businesses — see what a top-tier competitor is hiring for, where, and at what pay.

How to scrape Robert Half data

1. Open the actor and pick a Country (e.g. DE for Germany).
2. Set a Search Query in the local language (e.g. accountant for the UK, buchhalter for Germany or German-speaking Switzerland, comptable for France or French-speaking Switzerland, boekhouder for Belgium-Dutch). Leave it empty to get the most recent listings for the whole country.
3. Optionally set a Location filter (e.g. london, berlin) — Robert Half's own search applies this server-side.
4. Set Max Results — the actor pages through the site's search results at 25 per page until it reaches this number or runs out of listings.
5. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting and click Start.

The actor requests each page of results directly from roberthalf.com, parses the job cards already present in the HTML (title, location, worksite, employment type, salary, full description), and writes everything to the dataset — no per-job detail requests required.

Cost estimate

Each run makes one HTML request per 25 results — no browser, no per-job detail requests (the full description is already on the listing page). A 50-result run is 2 requests total plus proxy traffic. Usage is only charged after a run finishes with status SUCCEEDED — a failed or aborted run doesn't bill for partial results.

Limitations

• Ireland is not covered. roberthalf.com/ie/en has no job listings section — verified live, it only serves salary guide and insights content.
• Belgium's three language variants share the same job pool. BE-en, BE-fr and BE-nl return the same underlying listings, rendered and searched in a different site language each — keep this in mind if you're running all three to avoid counting the same jobs twice.
• Salary is often undisclosed. A meaningful share of listings show "Competitive" rather than a number — salaryMin/salaryMax are left empty rather than coerced to zero.
• Fixed page size of 25. Verified live — no page-size override parameter was found.
