💼 Reed.co.uk Job Scraper

🎯 Turn the UK's biggest job board into a clean, structured dataset — every job, every salary, every employer, updated as often as you like.

This scraper pulls job listings from reed.co.uk across all 37 sectors and every UK town, city and postcode. You get job titles, salary ranges, contract types, remote and hybrid status, employers, posting dates and — when you want it — the complete job description with required skills and exact location.

🚀 What Does It Do?

This scraper automatically searches reed.co.uk and collects structured, ready-to-use data from the UK's largest job board. No manual browsing, no copy-paste, no missed listings — just set your filters and hit Start.

💡 Two modes of operation:

1. 🔍 Discovery Mode — Search by keyword, sector, location and salary, then page through every matching result. A single run can harvest an entire sector.
2. 📋 Direct URL Mode — Paste reed.co.uk search or job pages and the scraper takes them exactly as given.

🔁 And a third way to use it: switch on Monitoring and every scheduled run returns only what changed since last time — the new jobs, the edited jobs, the ones that came back. Typically 80–95% fewer results to pay for and read.

📋 Dataset Views

The Apify Console gives you 4 ready-made table views to quickly browse your results:

View	What It Shows
📊 Overview	Job title, company, location, salary, contract, working style, posting date and link
💷 Salary Breakdown	Numeric pay bounds and period next to the advertised wording — ready for sorting and benchmarking
🔔 Monitoring Feed	What changed since the last run, when each job was first and last seen, and whether it is a repost
📋 Everything	Every single field — the complete dataset

❓ FAQ

🤔 How many jobs can I get in one run? As many as the search has. There is no page-depth ceiling — a whole sector of 6,000+ jobs comes out in a single run. Set Max Results to 0 to take everything.

🤔 Can I get hybrid jobs only? Yes. Reed itself can only filter for fully remote roles, but every job here is labelled Remote, Hybrid, On-Site or unspecified, so use "Remote Types To Keep" to isolate hybrid — something you cannot do on the site.

🤔 Do I need the full job descriptions? Only if you want them. The search results already carry title, salary, location, contract type, employer and dates. Turning on full descriptions adds the complete text, required skills and postcode at the cost of one extra request per job.

🤔 How do I track only new jobs? Switch on Monitoring and schedule the run. The first run stores a baseline; every run after that returns only new, updated or reappeared listings — usually 80–95% fewer results.

🤔 Will I get the same job twice? No. Results are de-duplicated by job ID across pages and across every keyword search in the same run.

🤔 Can I export the data? Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, RSS. You can also push data directly to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any webhook/API endpoint.

🤔 How often should I run this? For fresh data, run daily or weekly. You can schedule automatic runs on Apify with just a few clicks — and with Monitoring on, a daily run costs a fraction of a full re-scrape.

🤔 Do I need a proxy? No — and you are better off without one. The scraper runs at full speed straight from Apify with no proxy at all, which is the default. If you do want one for a very large harvest, choose residential proxies with country United Kingdom; the shared datacenter pool is the one setting that will cost you blocked requests.
