💡 What Does It Do?

This scraper collects job advertisements published on arbeit.swiss (the public face of Job-Room.ch, run by SECO and the regional employment centres / RAV). For every listing it returns a clean, flat record containing the job title, employer, location, canton, workload range, full description, recruiter contact details and the direct application link.

You can scrape by search keywords, restrict results to specific Swiss cantons, or feed it a list of direct job URLs to re-check whether a listing is still online — perfect for monitoring and keeping a job database up to date.

❓ FAQ

🌍 What exactly does this scrape? Public job advertisements from arbeit.swiss / Job-Room.ch, Switzerland's official public employment service.

🔑 Do I need an account or login? No. The scraper works against publicly available listings — no credentials required.

🗺️ Can I limit results to one canton? Yes. Provide one or more canton codes (e.g. ZH, GE, TI) and only jobs in those cantons are returned.

🔁 Can I check if a job I found earlier is still online? Yes. Use direct URL mode: paste the listing URLs and each record will report whether it is online or offline.

💼 Does it return salary information? The portal does not publish salary figures for most listings, so this field is generally not available. Workload percentage is provided instead.

⚡ How fast is it and how much does it cost to run? It uses the portal's official data feed, so it is fast and inexpensive — large pulls of thousands of listings finish in minutes on the smallest memory tier.

📅 Can I get only recent jobs? Yes. Set the "online since" option to only include jobs published within the last N days.
