Wellfound Jobs Scraper ✨

Turn Wellfound startup job pages into clean, export-ready datasets for recruiting, market research, lead generation, and hiring intelligence.

Use it to collect structured job listings, track new or changed roles over time, and summarize which companies are hiring across your target markets.

🚀 What You Can Do

• 🔎 Scrape Wellfound jobs from remote, location, role, and custom Wellfound URLs
• 🌍 Search by locations such as New York, San Francisco, London, India, Europe, Canada, and more
• 💼 Collect job titles, descriptions, locations, remote status, compensation, salary, and equity ranges
• 🏢 Build company hiring snapshots with job counts, role mix, location mix, and compensation ranges
• 🔔 Monitor sources for new, changed, and removed jobs across repeated runs
• 📊 Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or use them through the Apify API

📦 Output Modes

Choose what you want to save:

Mode	Best for	What you get
jobs	Job boards, recruiting lists, compensation analysis	One record per job
companies	Company lead lists and hiring intelligence	One snapshot per company
both	Full hiring research	Jobs in the default dataset + company snapshots in the Companies output

Company snapshots are stored in a separate Companies output, so the Jobs table stays clean and does not show unrelated empty columns.

Company snapshots summarize the jobs found for each company in a source:

⚡ Quick Start

Scrape remote jobs:

{
  "scrapeMode": "scrape",
  "inputMode": "REMOTE",
  "outputMode": "jobs",
  "pageLimit": 1,
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Scrape multiple Wellfound URLs:

{
  "scrapeMode": "scrape",
  "inputMode": "URLS",
  "outputMode": "both",
  "urls": [
    { "url": "https://wellfound.com/location/new-york" },
    { "url": "https://wellfound.com/location/san-francisco" },
    { "url": "https://wellfound.com/remote" }
  ],
  "pageLimit": 2,
  "maxItems": 2000
}

Scrape by location names:

{
  "scrapeMode": "scrape",
  "inputMode": "LOCATION",
  "outputMode": "both",
  "locations": ["New York", "London", "India"],
  "pageLimit": 1,
  "onlyRemoteJobs": false
}

🔔 Monitor Mode

Monitor mode is useful when you want to run the actor on a schedule and see what changed since the previous run.

{
  "scrapeMode": "monitor",
  "inputMode": "LOCATION",
  "outputMode": "jobs",
  "locations": ["San Francisco"],
  "pageLimit": 1,
  "includeChangedJobs": true,
  "includeRemovedJobs": true
}

Monitor events include:

• new — a job appeared for the first time
• changed — title, role, compensation, description, remote status, location, job type, or experience requirements changed
• removed — a job disappeared from the monitored source

Use resetMonitorState when you want to start tracking from scratch.

🎯 Popular Use Cases

• Track hiring activity by city, country, or region

📤 Outputs

The actor provides separate Output tabs:

• Jobs — job records from the default dataset

All outputs can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML table where supported by Apify.

⚙️ Input Tips

• Use pageLimit to control how many pages are collected per source.
• Set pageLimit to 0 to use all available pages up to the actor safety limit.
• Use maxItems to cap the total number of saved records.
• Use onlyRemoteJobs when you only want jobs marked as remote.
• Use outputMode: "both" when you want jobs and company snapshots in one run.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape multiple cities at once?

Yes. Use inputMode: "LOCATION" and add multiple location names, or use inputMode: "URLS" and provide multiple Wellfound URLs.

Can I monitor jobs over time?

Yes. Use scrapeMode: "monitor" and schedule the actor. It will return new, changed, and removed listings compared with previous runs.

Are company snapshots separate from jobs?

Yes. Jobs are saved in the default dataset, and company snapshots are saved in a separate Companies output. This keeps each table clean and easy to export.

Does the actor parse compensation?

Yes, when compensation is present in the listing data. The actor keeps the original compensation text and also extracts salary and equity ranges when possible.

What happens when a job has no salary?

The job is still saved. Salary fields are simply omitted when Wellfound does not provide compensation for that listing.

✅ Good For

Recruiters, founders, sales teams, analysts, job-board builders, compensation researchers, and anyone who wants structured startup hiring data from Wellfound.
