Konnekt Scraper

Scrape job listings from konnekt.com — Malta's leading recruitment agency with 450+ active vacancies across all major industries. Filter by keyword, job category, and employment type. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🔍 Keyword, category & type filters — combined

Search by free-text keyword (e.g. "accountant", "project manager", "software developer") and combine it with job category (e.g. accounting, banking, it-jobs) and employment type (full-time, part-time, temporary-contract). All three filters can be stacked in a single run. The only competing actor for Konnekt only supports keyword search alone, with no category or type filtering.

💰 Structured salary — min, max, currency, period

When employers publish compensation, the scraper returns it as four clean fields: salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency (always EUR), and salaryPeriod (e.g. YEAR). No string parsing needed on your end. Fields are null when salary is not disclosed.

📄 Three description formats

Full job descriptions are returned in three formats for maximum flexibility:

Field	Format	Use case
descriptionHtml	Raw HTML	Display in web apps
descriptionText	Plain text	Full-text search, NLP
descriptionMarkdown	Markdown	RAG pipelines, LLM agents

🔄 Repost detection — 90-day cross-run cache

Employers on Konnekt regularly republish the same vacancy to stay at the top of search results. The scraper maintains a 90-day cross-run fingerprint cache (konnekt-job-dedup Key-Value Store). Each result includes isRepost, originalPublishDate, and originalUrl. Set skipReposts: true to suppress duplicates entirely.

⏱️ Date filtering

Use daysOld to limit results to jobs posted within the last N days — ideal for scheduled daily or weekly runs. Requires fetchDetails: true (publish dates are only available on detail pages).

🔗 Direct URL scraping

Pass specific job page URLs via startUrls to scrape individual listings directly. Useful for monitoring specific vacancies or integrating with your own discovery pipeline.

The competitor uses 4 GB of memory (suggesting Playwright), vs. this actor's 512 MB HTTP-only approach — 8× cheaper compute for the same data.

Known limitations

• Location filtering: Konnekt does not provide a location filter. The keyword field searches job titles and descriptions only, not location. Location is still included in output via the location field.
• Salary: Not all employers disclose compensation. salaryMin, salaryMax, and related fields will be null when not published. The raw salaryRaw string from the listing card may still be present.
• Publish date: Only available with fetchDetails: true. Without detail pages, publishDate and publishDateISO are null, which means daysOld filtering is also unavailable.
• Total listings: Konnekt is Malta-specific with ~430–500 active listings at any time — not a large-volume board.
