💼 Universal Career Site Jobs Scraper

Collect complete, structured job data from company websites and leading applicant tracking systems — with one Actor and no ATS API keys.

Give the Actor a company homepage, a careers page, or a direct ATS board. It detects the source, follows every available result page, enriches job details when needed, removes duplicates, and returns one clean dataset row per vacancy.

💡 Why this Actor

• 🌐 One Actor for every source — company websites and native ATS platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and more
• 🔑 No ATS API keys — works from publicly exposed career pages and supported ATS boards
• 🧭 Homepage-to-jobs discovery — detects the source and finds the Careers or Jobs portal automatically
• 🧱 Normalized, export-ready data — consistent columns across platforms, downloadable as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS
• 🧬 Nothing silently discarded — every native ATS field is preserved in rawJson and flattened native__... columns
• 🧾 Transparent failures — unreadable or empty sources become error rows while successful companies are kept

📸 Sample output

A real run's output — exportable to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

• Report unreadable or empty sources as transparent error rows

✅ Supported career platforms

Platform	Coverage	Full descriptions	Native fields
Greenhouse	Native, all jobs	✅	✅
Lever	Native, all pages	✅	✅
Ashby	Native, all jobs	✅	✅
Workable	Native + job details	✅	✅
SmartRecruiters	Native, all pages + details	✅	✅
Workday	Native, all pages + details	✅	✅
Recruitee	Native, all jobs	✅	✅
Personio	Native, all jobs	✅	✅
BambooHR	Native + job details	✅	✅
Custom career sites	Structured data + conservative HTML fallback	When exposed	✅

The universal fallback can read other platforms and custom company sites when their public pages expose JobPosting structured data or server-rendered job details. Because custom sites vary, direct support depends on what the supplied page makes publicly available.

🧭 What URL should I enter?

Any of these can work:

https://example.com
https://example.com/careers
https://boards.greenhouse.io/company
https://jobs.lever.co/company
https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/company
https://company.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/External

A direct ATS or career-board URL is the fastest and most precise input. If you only know the company homepage, keep Find career pages automatically enabled.

📦 Output data

Each vacancy is stored as one flat dataset item. Common fields include:

• Identity: ats, company, companySlug, jobId, requisitionId, title
• Location: location, locations, city, region, country, postalCode
• Organization: department, departments, team, seniority, experienceLevel
• Work model: employmentType, workplaceType, remote, hybrid, onSite
• Compensation: salary, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod
• Job content: descriptionHtml, descriptionText, requirements, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits
• Links and dates: jobUrl, applyUrl, postedAt, updatedAt, expiresAt
• Traceability: inputUrl, sourceUrl, sourcePage, scrapedAt

When Include every native ATS field is enabled:

• rawJson contains the complete source job object
• native__... columns expose nested source fields in a CSV- and Excel-friendly form

This dual format gives you consistent universal columns without silently discarding uncommon ATS-specific values.

🗂️ Run results and storage

• Jobs output tab — clean vacancy rows only
• Errors output tab — sources that failed or returned no recognizable jobs
• OUTPUT key-value record — run status, counts, duration, ATS totals, limits, stop reason, and per-source statistics
• RAW-... key-value records — optional original JSON, HTML, or XML responses

Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, or consumed through the Apify API. The Actor also works with schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, and other Apify integrations.

💡 Popular use cases

• Build a multi-company job search database
• Monitor competitors’ hiring activity
• Power a niche job board or newsletter
• Track new roles, locations, teams, and salary ranges
• Feed recruiting, market intelligence, or workforce analytics pipelines
• Audit differences between normalized fields and the original ATS payload

⚡ Performance and cost control

Native platforms are read page by page and can return thousands of jobs in one run. Full descriptions may require additional detail requests on some platforms.

For quick tests, set a small maxJobsPerSource or maxJobsTotal. For production exports, leave both at 0. Disable descriptions, native data, or raw-response archiving when you only need a compact listing feed.

❓ FAQ

Do users need to provide an ATS API key?

No. The Actor works with job data publicly exposed by company career sites and supported ATS boards.

Can I enter a normal company homepage?

Yes. The Actor can discover a linked Careers or Jobs portal. A direct career-board URL remains more reliable when you already have it.

Will it really return all jobs?

For supported native ATS platforms, the Actor follows every available result page when both job limits are 0. Custom career sites are collected up to maxPagesPerSource and can only expose data present in their public, server-readable pages.

Why is one job missing a description or salary?

Some source records do not publish those values. The Actor preserves missing data as missing rather than inventing it. Enable native fields and raw-response archiving to verify exactly what the source returned.

What happens when a source has no jobs or changes its layout?

The dataset receives a recordType: "error" row and the run summary identifies the affected source. Successful companies in the same run are still preserved.

How are duplicates handled?

Jobs are deduplicated by their canonical job URL, ATS job ID, or a stable fallback made from company, title, and location.
