Why this scraper?

🌍 Multi-country coverage

One actor covers 8 countries via a single country parameter. Switch between nl, be, de, ch, uk, at, no, and fr to target each country's Talent.com site with geo-accurate results.

📝 Rich job data

Each result includes title, company, location (with GPS coordinates), salary range, contract type, remote status, category, and full job description in HTML, plain text, and Markdown formats.

🔁 Repost detection

Built-in cross-run deduplication with a 90-day memory. Jobs that reappear after re-posting are flagged with isRepost: true and the original publish date — so your downstream pipeline never double-counts.

📅 Date-based filtering

Filter by job age using the daysOld parameter. Only jobs indexed within the specified window are returned.

🎯 Flexible input

Search by keyword and location, or supply your own Talent.com search URLs via startUrls for maximum control.

💾 Export-ready output

Results download directly as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify platform — no post-processing required.

Performance

Mode	Run size	Estimated time
Standard	50 results	~15 seconds
Standard	500 results	~1–2 minutes
Standard	5,000 results	~10–15 minutes
With fetchDetails	50 results	~1–2 minutes
With fetchDetails	500 results	~10–15 minutes

fetchDetails adds one residential proxy request per job, which increases both run time and proxy cost.

Known limitations

• Salary: Structured salary data (salaryMin, salaryMax) is only populated when employers publish it explicitly. When unavailable, the scraper attempts to extract salary as plain text (salaryText) from the job description. Enable fetchDetails for the best salary coverage.
• Description length: List-page results include a description snippet (~300 characters). Enable fetchDetails: true to retrieve the full job description from the detail page.
• Apply URL: applyUrl is a click-tracking redirect provided by Talent.com. The final destination depends on the originating job board or employer site.
• Date accuracy: publishDateISO reflects the date Talent.com indexed the listing, not necessarily the original employer posting date.
• Page limit: Talent.com paginates in sets of ~19 results per page.

---

Technical details

• Source: talent.com — multi-country job aggregator covering 75M+ monthly visitors
