Why this scraper?

☎️ Recruiter contact details

Randstad publishes contact persons with many vacancies. The scraper retrieves recruiter name, department, phone, and email where available — useful for direct outreach without going through the standard application flow.

💰 Normalized salary data

Salary data is returned as structured fields — no parsing required:

Field	Example
salary	"€15.66 - €18.72 per hour"
salaryMin	15.66
salaryMax	18.72
salaryType	"hourly"

Supports hourly, monthly, and annual salary formats.

🔄 Repost detection — unique in the market

Companies frequently republish the same vacancy to stay at the top of search results. This scraper detects reposts automatically and flags them — so you only pay for genuinely new listings.

Each result includes:

• isRepost: true/false — is this a republished vacancy?
• originalPublishDate — when did this vacancy first appear?
• originalUrl — link to the original listing

Use skipReposts: true to automatically exclude reposts from your results.

🔁 Automatic retries in the background

On temporary server errors, the scraper automatically retries with exponential backoff. Failed attempts are not charged — you only pay for successfully retrieved vacancies.

🏢 Multi-brand coverage

Randstad operates multiple brands under one platform. The opco field identifies which brand posted the vacancy:

Value	Brand
RANDSTAD	Randstad
YACHT	Yacht (professionals & secondment)
TEMPO-TEAM	Tempo-Team (flex & temp)
BMC	BMC (government & healthcare consultancy)

📄 Three description formats

Every vacancy description is returned in three formats out of the box:

• description — original HTML
• descriptionText — plain text
• descriptionMarkdown — Markdown (ready for RAG pipelines and LLM workflows)
