💼 Indeed Jobs Intelligence Scraper

HTTP-only Indeed scraper for jobs, contacts, salaries, company profiles, apply links, and hiring intelligence.
Search Indeed by keyword and location, or enrich known Indeed job URLs with deep detail data.

Turn searches like "software engineer in New York", "remote customer support", or direct Indeed job URLs into clean job records you can export to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, CRMs, dashboards, or your own API.

🚀 What It Does

This actor is more than a basic job-listing scraper. It is built to produce useful recruiting and market-intelligence data:

• 🔎 Search Indeed jobs by keyword, location, country, radius, date posted, job type, remote filter, and sort order
• 📄 Scrape full job detail pages with description text, HTML, requirements, benefits, schedule, salary, and apply links
• 📬 Extract contacts from job descriptions: emails, phone numbers, and normalized phone contacts
• 🏢 Enrich company profiles from Indeed company pages: rating, size, revenue, industry, founded year, links, logo, description, and addresses when available
• 💰 Normalize salaries into min/max, currency, unit, and annualized values
• 🧠 Extract skills from job descriptions and attributes using rule-based dictionaries
• 🔗 Resolve apply links and detect ATS/provider names such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Taleo, iCIMS, Indeed Apply, and company sites
• 📊 Create company-level datasets with open jobs, top roles, locations, remote share, salary averages, and top skills
• 🔁 Track job changes between runs with delta monitoring
• 🧹 Keep output clean with compact rows by default, or use a full stable schema for integrations

🧭 Three Ways To Run It

Mode	Use it when	Output
SEARCH	You want to find jobs by query and location	Job cards, optionally enriched with detail pages
DETAIL	You already have Indeed job URLs or job IDs	Deep job records from known jobs
AUTO	You want the actor to decide based on your input	Search if queries exist, detail if only URLs/job IDs exist

💡 Pro tip: use SEARCH + fast + compact for cheap tests. Use DETAIL + full + compact when you want the best contact and description extraction.

📤 Output

The default dataset contains one item per job.

Clean compact output

outputMode: "compact" is the default. It removes empty fields, so users do not see a table full of null, [], and {}.

Full stable output

outputMode: "full" keeps every declared field in every item. This is best for integrations, BI tools, and data warehouses.

🛡️ Reliability Notes

• HTTP-only actor: no Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or browser runtime in production runs.
• Residential proxy recommended: Indeed can block low-trust IPs.
• Contacts depend on the job text: many jobs do not publish emails or phone numbers.
• Company fields vary: Indeed does not expose every company field on every company page.
• Apply links vary: some jobs stay inside Indeed Apply and do not expose an external ATS URL.
• Delta monitoring writes state: keep it off for random tests.

Recommended proxy for US runs:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
  "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
}

❓ FAQ

Can it extract emails and phone numbers?
Yes, when they are publicly written in the job description. The actor outputs emails, phones, and typed contacts.

Why are some contacts missing?
Indeed job posts often do not include direct recruiter contacts. The actor does not guess or fabricate contacts.

Why is companyHeaderUrl empty?
Many Indeed company pages only have a logo. A header URL is returned only when Indeed exposes a real company banner image.

What is the best mode for clean user output?
Use outputMode: "compact".

What is the best mode for integrations?
Use outputMode: "full" to keep stable columns.

Does it use a browser?
No. Production scraping is HTTP-only.

Can it track changes?
Yes. Enable enableDeltaMonitoring to compare jobs against the previous run.
