DirectEmployers Jobs Scraper: dejobs.org and .jobs career sites

Scrape jobs from sites on DirectEmployers' .jobs platform: employer career sites (such as careers.waldensecurity.com) and the network sites that list many employers (dejobs.org, amvetsjobs.org, abletoowork.com, americanveteranjobs.com, about 1.5 to 2.1 million jobs each). Each row has the title, employer, place with ZIP, posting date, the full text of the ad, O*NET codes, requisition number and the pay when the ad states it. Filters by words, place, employer and country. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API.

USD 0.39 per 1,000 jobs. No login, no browser. Not affiliated with DirectEmployers.

What you get

• Full text from the search answer: every job arrives with its whole description, so there are no job-page requests. 20 jobs took 3 requests and 6 s in our test.
• Network sites with millions of jobs, searchable by words, a place (city and state, state or ZIP), an employer name (a real filter, not a word search) and a country, newest first or best match first.
• O*NET occupation codes on every job (extra.onetCodes), the employer's requisition number, its federal contractor flag and the date the job was last updated.
• Pay read from the ad's own words: a pay word in front of a dollar amount ("Pay Rate $17-$20", "base pay range is $16.12 - $23.21 per hour"). Sign-on bonuses and stipends are not taken. On Walden Security 20 of 20 rows had pay.

Good to know

• The site's search also matches words inside descriptions. "registered nurse" in Texas, newest first, returns customer service jobs that mention nurses. Switch on "Job title must contain the search words" or sort by best match; jobs dropped by the title check are not charged.
• No pay field exists in the data: pay comes only from the text, and most employers write none (3 of 30 jobs in a dejobs.org nurse sample). The period is filled only when written right after the amount: Walden writes "Pay Rate $17-$20" with no period, so 1 of 20 Walden rows has one. A bare "$" counts as USD only for a job in the USA.
• Not given: employment type, category and a remote flag (the data has none; remote is read from the title or place only). The ZIP is given for US jobs only.
• The site answers 10 or 15 jobs a request (its own page size). A run without words on a network site reads the newest jobs of millions: give words, a place, an employer or a country.
• The job pages are built in the browser, so the job link cannot be checked by reading it; posting date and requisition number come from the search answer.

Who uses it

• Veteran and disability hiring programmes: new jobs on the network sites by place and employer.
• Recruiters and staffing agencies: federal contractor openings with O*NET codes.
• Labour market research: postings by occupation code, employer and state.

Output: one row per job

Every Actor in this family writes the same columns, so you can merge boards in one sheet or database.

Field	What it holds
jobId	The board's own job id
title, company	Job title and hiring company (as the board shows them)
companyUrl, companyLogoUrl	Company page and logo on the board, when given
location, city, region, postalCode, country	Location as shown, and its parts; country is an ISO code (FR, DE, US...)
remote, workplaceType	true/false and remote, hybrid or onsite, only when the board says so
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod, salaryText	Salary range as numbers, ISO currency, HOUR/DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR; empty when the board gives none (never guessed)
employmentType, employmentTypeText	FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, TEMPORARY, INTERN, APPRENTICE, CONTRACTOR, FREELANCE..., and the board's own wording
experienceLevel, category, skills	When the board gives them
datePosted, validThrough	ISO 8601 dates
descriptionText, descriptionHtml	Full description as plain text and as HTML
applyUrl, jobUrl	Where to apply, and the job's page on the board
sourceBoard, searchLabel, scrapedAt	Which board, which of your searches found it, when
duplicateKey	The same key for the same ad posted on several boards (or reposted): title without (m/w/d) or H/F tags, company without legal form, city, country. Use it to merge results from several of our board Actors
extra	A few fields only this board has

Contact email addresses and phone numbers inside descriptions are removed: this Actor never collects recruiters' personal contact details.

Job alerts: only new jobs, sent where you work

1. Switch on Only new jobs since the last run and schedule the Actor (daily, hourly). It remembers the jobs it has already delivered for the same searches and filters, in a key-value store on your own account (named job-boards-seen-
2. Paste a Slack or Discord webhook (or a Zapier or Make webhook, which can email you) into Send new jobs to. After each run that found new jobs you get one message with the count and up to 10 jobs with their links. Free: the message is never billed.

Apify's own integrations (Google Sheets, email, webhooks) work too.

Pricing

Pay per job saved: USD 0.39 per 1,000 jobs (USD 0.00039 a job), plus USD 0.002 per run start. No monthly rental, no charge for jobs skipped as duplicates, already seen or filtered out. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops just before it, keeping everything saved so far.

Use it through the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/usefulapi~directemployers-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sites":[{"url":"https://careers.waldensecurity.com"}],"maxJobs":20}'

Python: ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN").actor("usefulapi/directemployers-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={...}), then read the dataset items.

Good to know

• Polite by design: one request at a time per site with a pause between requests, and the site's robots.txt is followed. Runs read public job pages only: no login, no candidate profiles or CVs.
• What a run summary tells you: the OUTPUT record has jobs saved per search, jobs skipped (duplicates, seen before, too old) and why a run stopped early, if it did.
• Is it legal? The Actor reads job ads that the board publishes openly, the same pages a job seeker sees. You are responsible for how you use the data (for example, the board's terms and data protection rules in your country).
