Why this scraper?

🌍 23 verified open companies pre-loaded

Intel, Pfizer, Novartis, Medtronic, PayPal, CrowdStrike, Zoom, NXP Semiconductors, Workday Inc, Labcorp, IQVIA, Amgen, Regeneron, Bristol Myers Squibb, Takeda, AstraZeneca, Leidos, CACI International, Unisys, Choice Hotels, Calix, Zealand Pharma, and more — ready to scrape without any configuration.

Note: Many large corporations (Shell, Adidas, Goldman Sachs, BASF, etc.) use protected Workday instances that require a browser session. These cannot be scraped via the public API. The scraper detects them automatically and skips to the next company.

🔗 Add any company instantly

Paste any myworkdayjobs.com URL from a company career site and the scraper extracts jobs automatically. Works with any Workday tenant worldwide.

🔍 Keyword + location search

Filter listings by job title keywords and location across all selected companies in a single run.

📄 Full job descriptions included

Retrieves complete job descriptions in HTML, plain text, and Markdown. Also extracts contract type (full time / part time), ISO country code, and salary ranges when present in the description.

💰 Salary extraction

For companies that publish pay ranges in their job descriptions (e.g. PayPal, Zealand Pharma, Labcorp), salaryMin, salaryMax, currency, and salaryPeriod are automatically extracted from the HTML.

♻️ Cross-run deduplication

Enable Skip reposts to track which jobs were already seen across previous runs (90-day memory). Avoid processing the same listing twice in scheduled pipelines.

⚡ Lightweight and fast

Pure API calls — no browser, no proxy. A run across 10 companies with 50 jobs each completes in under 3 minutes.

Known limitations

• Salary data: Not part of Workday's structured API. Extracted on a best-effort basis from HTML description text. Available for companies that embed pay ranges in their postings (PayPal, Zealand Pharma, Labcorp, and others).
• Gated listings: Some companies configure their Workday instance to require login for certain roles. These listings are not accessible and are skipped automatically.
• Company catalogue changes: Companies occasionally change their Workday tenant ID or career site name. Add the updated URL via startUrls if a pre-seeded company stops returning results.
• Location precision: city is extracted from Workday's structured jobRequisitionLocation field. For some companies this may include office-level detail (e.g. building names) rather than just the city.
