StudentJob.nl Scraper

Extract student and graduate job listings from studentjob.nl, the Netherlands' dedicated student jobs board, as clean structured JSON. Search by keyword and get job titles, companies, locations, pay, education level and full descriptions in one run.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor reads studentjob.nl's own sitemap to find listings, then parses the JobPosting structured data embedded on each job page — the same data Google reads to power its job search results.

What this actor does

Given a search keyword, this actor finds matching listings on studentjob.nl and returns one row per job with:

• Job title
• Hiring company and company website
• Workplace city, region, postal code and country (plus every city for multi-location postings)
• Employment type (fulltime, parttime, temporary, internship, ...)
• Hourly, monthly or fixed pay, when the recruiter published it
• Accepted education level and job category
• Requested skills and benefits text
• Full job description
• Posted date, company logo and direct job URL

studentjob.nl is a dedicated student and graduate jobs board — a different market than general boards like Werk.nl or Randstad in this catalog. Listings skew toward part-time hospitality, retail, delivery and promotion work, plus internships and graduate roles, and most postings carry an hourly rate rather than an annual salary.

Why use it

• Student labour market research — track how many part-time/bijbaan roles match a keyword, city or sector across the Netherlands.
• Recruitment and sourcing — build a live feed of open student and graduate positions for a role or region.
• Hourly pay benchmarking — a meaningful share of listings publish an hourly rate, giving a real market signal for student work that general job boards rarely expose.
• Aggregators and job boards — feed Dutch student/graduate listings into your own product.

How to scrape studentjob.nl data

1. Open the actor and set a Search Query (for example horeca, vakkenvuller, stage marketing, bezorger). Dutch keywords work best since studentjob.nl is a Dutch board. Multiple words are matched as an AND against the job title.
2. Set Max Results to how many listings you want.
3. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting and click Start.

The actor first reads studentjob.nl's XML sitemap to find job URLs whose title slug matches your search query, then fetches each matching detail page and parses the structured JobPosting data (the same schema.org markup studentjob.nl feeds to Google for its job-search rich results) plus the full description. Results are written to the dataset as they're collected. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Leave Search Query empty (or use {} as input) and the actor falls back to a default bijbaan search — studentjob.nl's own term for a student side job — so a run with no input still returns data. Set it to * to fetch listings from the sitemap with no keyword filter at all.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Keyword to filter job titles by. Dutch works best. Default: bijbaan. Use * for no filter.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of listings to return. Default: 50.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. studentjob.nl has no anti-bot protection, so the default automatic proxy is sufficient — no residential tier needed.

Example input

{
    "searchQuery": "horeca",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}

Cost estimate

This actor uses plain HTTP requests (sitemap XML + server-rendered detail pages) with no browser, so runs are cheap and fast. Each result costs one detail-page request plus a small, shared, one-time cost for the sitemap at the start of a run. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and proxy usage — check your run's usage summary for the exact figure. That figure only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED; reading it mid-run shows a cost far below the eventual total.

Limitations

• Pay is only populated when the recruiter filled it in on studentjob.nl — a meaningful minority of listings leave it blank, so salaryMin/salaryMax/salaryCurrency/salaryPeriod are null on those results. This is a fact about the source data, not a scraping gap.
• Postal code is nulled when it fails a Dutch postal-code format check (4 digits + 2 letters). A handful of recruiters on studentjob.nl publish the city name in the postal-code field instead of a real code — this actor drops that bad value rather than passing it through as a fake postal code.
• Search matches the job title slug, not the full description — studentjob.nl's own listing/search pages are disallowed by robots.txt, so this actor works entirely off the sitemap and detail pages instead, which is robots-compliant but means keyword matching happens against the title rather than a full-text search index.
• Only currently open listings are scraped — closed/expired postings are not returned.
